lol I forgot to say that myself. Yeah...lets lose one of the best players in the league because some moron jumps on you
Only think dumber is when Gus Frerotte injured himself by headbutting the concrete wall after a touchdown
Huge Chiefs fan, and this actually makes me really excited,lol
Chiefs are absolutel;y the Kardashians of hte league
that I decided to cut the cord a few years ago and don't have cable so I don't have to worry about being exposed to this at all.
Who is saying he's the MVP favorite? A betting site, journalists, pundits? I wouldn't expect anyone but Nick Wright to have that take right now.#rigged
Also, it bugs the SHIT out of me that whoever made this info graphic doesn't understnad how ranking INTS as a qb works. He has 6....which is tied for 1st for the league lead with Anthony Richardson and Will Levis (Great company)
Betting odds.
Imo, Jayden Daniels is the clear favorite right now, if you judge by what MVP really means.
love your use of chunk lol
Jabril Peppers put on the commissioners exemption list
Chris Blake Griffith is accusing Houston Texans WR Stefon Diggs of drugging him and trying to engage in sexual activities with him, claiming it played a part in him getting jumped by Stefon’s brother.
Griffith previously filed a lawsuit against Stefon Diggs’ brother, Darez, after he tried to rob and attack him in an elevator.

I believe him about as much as I believe LeBron when LeBron says HE has nothing to do with firing the coach
Didn’t have that one on my bingo card

This happened to a team last week. I'm forgetting who it was though. Try to convert the 2pt
I completely disagree with that
You fail on both and you just made it a 3 score deficit with the other team not scoring a point
IMO...
There's a problem with analytics in sports, in that it only considers the raw statistics with vast sample sizes, that bear out over the course of an entire season.
They do not factor in the individual variables of a skill-based game composed of athletes with various levels of energy, mental acuity, or injury status. They can't because that shit would have to be calculated on the fly, before every play. We'd need some serious AI for that (wonder how far away we are from the first AI GM/HC...but I digress).
So the NFL may be 50/50 on 2-point conversions, but the right side of your O-Line may be struggling that day against the D due to your starters being out. Suddenly that 50/50 chance that bears out of over the course of a season isn't so 50/50. Conversely, your offense might have kept their Defense on the field all game, and they are tired, and suddenly you might have a greater chance than just 50/50. And those are just current game examples, not including season long factors like who has the best offense or defense to begin with.
The old "situational modifiers" are not considered from a pure analytical standpoint, and it's always been that way, which is why right vs lefty, lefty vs right shit doesn't always work in MLB during the playoffs either.
Playing the odds is normally wise, but a good coach/manager has to consider the current flow of the game, otherwise their analytics will blow up in their faces at the worst time because they rolled a 1 on their d20 when they only needed a 5 to score a hit.
So some geek saying "go for 2 down 14" because it bears out that there is a 12.5% advantage is right in a general sense as for best practice over the course of the season. But saying to do it "always" on any given gameday, that might actually be the worst thing to do.
