Recruiting Football Talk VII

Probability says to go for 2. Not sure I would, but that’s an analytics call.

That doesn't take into account how unreliable their OL and offense in general has been all afternoon.

And if analytics says go for it, why doesn't everyone go for it after every TD? What's different about this situation?

On second thought………

 

[jave36]

Time for another 10 pages of arguments about the analytics of going for 2 late in the game with no one changing their opinion

I just don't understand how the only time people quote analytics is toward the end of the game. Do the analytics change in the 4th quarter? Are you more likely to successfully go for 2 then?

I am still mad at Butch not going for 2 in that TAMU game. 4 hour game in the heat and he played not to lose.

Florida even more so when we went up 26-14 with under 8 mins left still haunts me

I gotta say…….OL doesn’t look quite as big of an issue as it was thought to be….Quality starters and some depth.
RBs are way above average…..
WRs are way above average

Can Nico live up to the hype…..?

If so……2024 could be really special

He can and it will be

What a game. Couple of nice ones this weekend

 

[jave36]

Also, less than half of 2 point tries are successful, so I'm not sure how the analytics conclude you should go for 2.

Especially when your run game is literally the worst in the NFL 2 years in a row.

Lions off to SF....

 

[TheBigOne10]

BLOUSES!

Lions win.

Yeah but fans are dumb. That’s a silly bad faith argument. Restaurant workers get paid to perform their job. Should we talk sh*t to them when they have a bad day? And then talk more sh*t to them when they ask why we’re being the way we’re being? Tell them to suck it up and get over it bc they’re being paid.

I don’t mean that towards you, I know you’re not arguing for it.

No, I’m definitely not. Hate it when it is done on here. Especially hate it on social media. But afraid the mentality will be if you want to be a professional you will be expected to perform like a professional. Dread it

This was the best game of the playoffs so far. That stupid kicker for GB ruined last night's game imo

 

[Devo182]

Michigan gonna get the state of Georgia '21 treatment aren't they?

 

[SweetasSoda]

Best thing I've seen from Ohio state... Like ever.

Like in my whole 59 years.

Now I need to take a shower for liking that post.

Lions off to SF....

 

[drvenner]

Still happy for the Lions fans

 

[Orangeburst]

Now you can turn out the lights

lol

Wow, that makes him look so juvenile after what he just did.

Lane has always been juvenile.

 

[SweetasSoda]

Not by me. One of the best LBs we’ve ever had. He was a WR screen assassin!

That’s what we need! A screen assassin!

They're just used more at that point.

Late-game is more strategic. Early game there's too much to tell how things will play out or what will matter. Dogmatic tradition pushes most coaches to do what's comfortable through most of the game.

Edit: Just talking going for 2. Going for it on 4th down is much more broad and used across the game as it should be.

Trying to find a pic of the Iformation used in Citrus Bowl. Figured one of you nerds has one.

Two out of three teams that have advanced have VFLs on their roster. If KC wins, it'll be three out of four. Analytics.

Probability in the NFL for a 2 point conversion is 55%. So, if you miss, you should get the next one to tie. If you make, you kick the XP to win. Vrabel did it a couple of years ago, and I’m pretty sure they won the game.
