It seems like every team has tried it at least once today. Is there a way to check the total percentage today?

Just check the score in LAC.

That's what happens when you go for it.

Ask Dan Campbell too. He mightve won the game had he not gone for it with 23 minutes remaining. Quick 7 pts for Chicago.

These coaches are retarded. And I'm glad when they lose

Week 14 in the NFL, there were a total of 46 attempts to convert a 4th down of which 19 were successful. Carolina led the way going 1-7 followed closely by the Chargers at 1-6. Only the Rams/Ravens game did not try a 4th down attempt

Coaches have taken the video game mentality and applied it in actual real life in game coaching. It's fascinating to watch.

Too long of an explanation to post here but the NFL is moving into a league that will rank up there with WWE and NBA. And as an old timer, I don't care to watch any of it!

As the games were kicking off i thought to myself, this is National Dumbass Play-calling day. It sure turned out that way with so many bone-headed decisions across quite a few teams from Lions, Vikings, Raiders, Carolina, Saints, etc. Even Harbaugh of the Ravens made a few questionable calls late, luckily he was bailed out in OT by that big TD.

Some of the medium and bigger spreads can get impacted. Teams maybe getting 7 or more points may be losing by 1 or more scores and start going for it late in their own territory where they don't get it and front door covers happen. Much like hockey where teams are more willing to pull goalies earlyier and earlier where as before they would stick to under 1 minute.

Jacksonville going for 2 was suspect. There is absolutely no logic behind that decision!
Other than the line was 2.5, fishy. I think coaches are taking the chicken shit approach where there is no accountability. Why did you go for it? Analytics told me to.

I feel as if the fans that believe the coaches explanations are being suckered. Coaching isn't rocket science.

We can do math, we can figure out the clock management part and the logic behind percentage of scoring a TD over a FG.

I rarely trust anything these coaches say and laugh most of it off as their stupidity. Nobody challenges them on their decisions and that's where the breakdown is. It's like watching a magician and constantly being amazed, knowing it's not real, but never asking how it was done.

Seriously WTF is your problem? I have posted plays in NCAAB for 4 years and always been in the plus. Do some research and have a seat. I'm down a little on posted plays so far and will be back when I'm ready. Way better than your overall record. Ultimate troll? Look in a mirror if you can handle what's looking back at you
You talk to much shit
You're in everyone of my threads talking shit.
Post some plays wise ass

Weird how my comments in my own thread get deleted, but the part time trolling employees comments stay. Also weird how so many of the trolls threads got deleted from last night. I guess no one can accuse the RX of any hiring discrimination
