With most, if not all, new rules favoring offenses, it seems like the analytics basically treat punts as "willful turnovers".Yeah. I don't claim to know much about analytics, but I seem to remember reading some years back that statistically speaking, teams are often (not always) better off going for it on 4th down rather than punting. I had a feeling at some point coaches would catch onto this and looks like it's happening.
Except proper execution isn’t a foregone conclusion. Or that the other team won’t execute superiorly to you. Teams would be successful 100% if that weren’t the case. The decision to go for it is situational.Going for it on 4th down seems to be the new thing around the league. Guess they'll have to fire ALL the HC's.
I'm stick'n with MM. He's a winner and the haters are gonna get left in the dust.
I didn't like the first 4th down call. I was onboard with the second one though. The difference is that we weren't really being stopped today while it was obvious that we were having difficulty moving the ball after the first drive last week. I didn't have a problem with the first 4th down call last week, but thought that we definitely should have kicked the second one.Did this week make y’all feel any different about how often we go for it?
I liked both calls today. As mentioned on the broadcast it's the trend of the NFL. When it doesn't work it's ammunition for the 'Fire the coach' crowd.

You can do it if you don't have confidence in your defense. Why would you give the ball away without a fight if you don't trust your defense?You can do this if you have confidence in your defense. We can do that this year.
