  1. I assume that Josh and McD were arguing that the clock should have rolled after accepting the Offside?
  2. As a Bills fan starting Noah Fant in the fantasy playoffs this is pretty ideal
  3. I was shocked to learn the other day that Todd Gurley was drafted in 2015. Feels like he's been around forever.
  4. Well, not sure about primetime but the sun will be down!
  5. It's one of those words where we just sort of decided it means something else because "factoid" sounds like it SHOULD mean a cute small fact. I love language.
  6. I see. I didn't delve deeply enough into this at first to see that they were exclusively talking about 4th down decisions. I thought they were saying that the net total of all decisions by all coaches was an average of 3/4 of a loss per season per coach. Still though, I think it makes more sense to frame the stat in terms of expected points rather than expected wins/losses. This is one of those rare statistical moments where I think it's inappropriate to consider each event independently of the opposing team. For example I didn't mind McDermott trotting out Bass 6 times against the Jets when we beat them 18-10 but had he done the same against a high powered offense it would have been way too conservative.
  7. I don't really understand how they can say their data yields that the average head coach loses .75 games each year. So if there are 32 teams that means the HCs account for a net -24 wins per season as opposed to...what? Wouldn't it by definition have to be net zero or higher or else the data suggests that the HC position in and of itself is a losing proposition?
  8. The notion of going even 12-4 with the schedule we had this year is nuts. A lot of really good teams would have gone 9-7 or 10-6 against it.
  9. I feel like the critique I hear most often about Reid is about his in-game decision making. Either that's untrue or Mahomes' dominance corrects for even that.
  10. I love the Bills playing on SNF because the whole football watching day culminates in it. MNF is meh, particularly because of the broadcast. Could go my whole life without the Thursday or Saturday nonsense.
  11. If this has even a small chance of lowering Winters' snaps I love it.
  12. A Chargers team where a rookie replaced Tyrod Taylor no less. I forgot Mariota existed.
  13. I want to be clear that I don't wish injuries to any NFL player, but Peterman Time makes this literally 100 times more exciting.
  14. I think if we get an early lead it'll be game over. Our secondary is trending way up and Lock is among the more mistake prone QBs.
