For those still confused about the 2-pt call

So, you'd have confidence in the offense in OT? Not after marching 99.5 yards?

I had very little confidence in our offense even after the long drive. TB played prevent defense during the long drive.

What happened after the long drive? Dak throws a wobbly rocket ball and Ferguson has it bounce of his hands for an Int.

Analytics don't win football games. Men do.

The problem with analytics is that the game is played by human beings with emotions. And no matter how much mathematicians may wish otherwise, humans are not dice rolls or random numbers.

Anyone who has ever played sports should know that momentum is real.

You can’t even compare one to the next on this.

The matchups and situations are entirely different. Regardless of what other teams have done in the past, that tells you nothing about your immediate situation.

Just ridiculous.

It is the same kind of stupidity math geeks fall into like “it is important to stop the pass and not the run” without understanding the situation

Pick up some cherry picked stats and draw a conclusion without understanding situations or context

I hope this helps you understand.

So let's get rid of coaches and just have analytics call the plays.

Analytics is a tool. Not a decision maker. You go for kick. And tie the game

The math of the probabilities still works regardless of sample size. But yes, there should be more data. Unfortunately, people are stuck in old ideas they don't want to look at the reality of that probabilities part, and just want to stick with what they know.

What we know is usually the way to go. There is room for analickings, but if a HC needs to look them up, he shouldn't be head coach.
