First off, this is factually incorrect as the Detroit game was a tie. They were missed opportunities of pulling a rabbits foot out of a hat type wins.
Very tough catch and a good play by the Minny defender.
Irvin needs to concentrate his ire on another showboating WR. Claypool was a disaster.
With all due respect he didn't "drop" anything...all emotion aside, while in the midst of 3 defenders he nevertheless was making the catch until the ball was forcibly punched out of his hands on a great play by the safety.
Yeah then Claypool goes off on Turner for trying to get the ball to the ref after the spike.
Clear as day? You might have watched a different game. He had the ball in his hands and as he was pulling it in the defender made a great play and punched fit out. But I’m sure you would’ve held onto it. Pft.
Speaking of taking too much time I noticed that the entire game. It looked like by the time they all got lined up on the LOS and Ben started calling out the snap count the clock was already down to 7 seconds. It looked like they were late a couple of times and never called on it.
PF didn’t drop it, it was punched out by a great hit. But if he wants to be considered to be among the top TEs in the NFL he has to make that catch.
It’s an obvious spot to go for two that announcers and coaches continually miss/screw up. Analytics will show that it is the right call.
Nah bro, Penn State grad, just a Steeler fan first, and someone who thinks that ball should have been caught. It was right in his hands, but I figured the Blue and White glasses would be too much here too discuss it.
Repeat after me: Pitt is Penn State's little brother. Agree?
Disagree.
I'm confused. Are you saying that the success rate is different if it's tried sooner rather than later?
The lower the success rate, the more reason to go for two earlier in this scenario.
It’s like saying “you shouldn’t have gone all in with you pocket Aces if you knew your opponent would flop a flush”.
No. The stat say it is only successful 49% of the time. The house wins. I didn’t research enough other than the global success rate was less than 50%. Thus I disagree with your assertion.
Wait, are you saying that you should never go for two regardless if you're down 8 or 15 because the chances are better than even that you will fail?
The 49% by itself is meaningless…it’s like telling me I have a 49% chance of winning the Powerball jackpot, but passing because I don’t want to spend $2 on the ticket if the chances aren’t better than 50%.
Are you saying it is better to go for 2 while down 9 as opposed to 16 or waiting for a final tying attempt at 2?
Should always go for two if you’re down 15 or 16 before the TD (or 22, but pretty much no one does the right thing there) and it’s getting later in a game where the remaining possessions will be limited.
That is not what Imm saying. Erial claimed that "analytics" says to go for two. The stats say that you have a less than 50% chance. Yes. you will make some. BUt, more than 50% of the time you will fail. Your expected value' on 2-pt conversions is only 0.98 pts. doint it mid-third-quarter seems ill-advised.
You don't seem to understand statistics. You cannot really equate one powerball ticket to being a 49% chance. Tell me how if you think that is true. ONe powerball ticket is basically a one in 350 million chance (something like that). All you need is one winning ticket. IT is foolish tothink you have a49% chance of winning the Powerball.
