What's the difference if it's early or late? They saw a chance to get the first down and it should have been completed.
Yeah, from a risk reward perspective it's hard to figure. Even if it works you're 50 yards from the end zone, and if you don't make it, you're giving up an expectancy of what? Four to five points at least.Silverdude2167 said:
Because they are now in a 14 point hole where the best out come was a first down at like the 35. The reward is so much less than the risk.johnmd20 said:
Nantz watching replay of Fleener being mugged: "Little bit of a pull there, but that's nothing."
Same play with Browner: "In today's NFL, that's gonna be called every time."

I think, but am not entirely sure, that the later you go in the game, the less equivalance there is between a point prevented and a point scored for purposes of win expectancy. At the beginning of the game, preventing a point will typically be equal to preventing one. If they convert that play, the expected points gained is so far below the expected points given up if they don't that the percentage of success needs to be very hight to attempt it.johnmd20 said:
Later in the game when losing, you take bigger chances to get points even if it makes it harder to prevent them if you fail. At least I think that's the case though I am hardly a WE expert.
I'm in the Super Bowl in a two QB league and I have Brady and Luck. Brady scored 12 in a poor effort. Luck is 1 for 2 with 5 yards. At least there is time. FML

I'm with you, Ed. They have nothing to look forward to. That won't stop the early season optimism, though.
Even when the cowboys are winning Garrett is an idiot. You are up 21 your star back has a broken hand and is over 350 carries already this year and yet you decide to keep feeding him the ball.
I don't think the Colts beat whoever is the 5 seed or the 6 if they stay the 3rd seed some how.Ed Hillel said:

This is a completely ridiculous statement. It's one thing to have general soreness but quite another to say a player needs experience getting hit where that player has a broken bone. He needs to sit.
Nice fight in the STL/NYG game.
OBJ had a guy finish his tackle out of bounds, he pushed back, STL guy throws a punch and then the Giants sideline swarmed.

Haters gonna hate. I'm not sure if OBJ is a jerk, but he's gotten a massive amount of press for being awesome(because he is) and that probably annoys some players. He's having an incredible season, especially because he missed the first 4 games of the year.
