CyberPingu posted:Why? Surely its still better to take your points? I honestly can't remember what the parameters of this discussion are, but basically when up 9-10 points with ~2 minutes left in the game. If it's a sub 40 yard FG, you just kick it, because it's too close to punt or do anything to gain enough yardage to trade away the points. If it's a 45+ yard FG, you can consider punting because you have a <huge variance depending on kicker and distance> 25-40% or so chance of missing it, with small chance of it being blocked, which is your worst case scenario. It's a higher chance then usual of being blocked because the defense has to sell out to block it in this scenario to at least try and force a rushed kick and lower the odds. Missing the kick gives them the ball around the 35-40 needing two scores Making the kick in this scenario just increases your lead to 12-13 points, so you still lose if they score twice (albeit two touchdowns now). You also probably* pooch the kickoff to eliminate the chance of a long return, so they end up starting around the 30-35... which really isn't that different a scenario then the miss scenario above. It's better, but doesn't improve your win expectancy by that much. *Unless your kicker has a out of the endzone quality leg TheChirurgeon posted:And although it seems counter-intuitive, there was an analysis done on this a while back that I don't have on hand that made a compelling case that you were better off being up 3 points at the end of a game than 4, 5, or 6 points. In part because when you're up by 3, your opponents tend to play for the field goal (and a tie), but if they're down 4/5/6, they go for the TD, which results in a win on their end no matter what (if they get it), and their likelihood of getting the TD increases because they suddenly start playing 4-down football. So oddly and controversially, teams may better off pinning an opponent at the 1 when they're up by 3 than giving them the ball at the 25+* down 6 points. I wrote the argument for a punt when you could kick a FG so now I will reveal my hypocritical nature and say coaches are extremely conservative, and will play for the tie when they only need a FG instead of making the riskier plays you need to when you need a touchdown.

Chichevache posted:You are right, I was wrong. Other posters seem to think Glennon is a completely known quantity, which I do disagree with. Yeah, he probably sucks, but so does everyone except ~20 guys. I still think he's worth trying if you don't have a franchise guy yet. I don't think he's a completely known quantity, but I also think we've seen enough that these contract numbers and Buccaneers interest in re-signing him sounds like the Rams talking up Casey Keenum at the end of 2015. big money big clit posted:Bradford wasn't the Vikings issue, it was the offense literally falling apart around him. Yeah, the Vikings problem is their offensive line is terrible and also super injured.

^^^ this guy knows betterDiqnol posted:Can someone link me or explain to me why they think Bortles isn't a decent QB? I've seen that opinion around these parts for a while but statistically he seems pretty good, even if a bunch of it is garbage time. He's still young, but he's been very bad while games are competitive. Like garbage time usually isn't that much of a thing, but looking at his splits, a lot of his production comes when the Jags are out of games. He will still get this year to prove himself, but he needs to take a strong step forward.
