Re: Official Bears/Saints "In game" thread...
Yeah I heard enough about it. But I did look it up and I found 4th and 15 has been 7% successful. Everyone acted like it was 50/50 or better they would make it. Even if the Birds hadn't stopped the Saints all night, I have to think facing 3 sure rushing plays they had at least a 10% chance of stopping them. Sorry but I have to say it wasn't a bad call. Not that it was a good call, I just felt it was a call you could make either way and certainly not something to be fired over.
i didnt read the 'crap' you took. not many here know jack shit so who knows what was said. 4th and 15 is 7% successful, that is one of the most ridiculous stats ive ever heard anyone mention. is this in the history of the NFL? what are the eagles % on it? i hate to break it to you, but no one elses stats going for it on 4th and 15 have Anything to do with the eagles. how far back to we have to go to remember the 4th and 22 in the Playoffs in an Eagles game vs green bay? huh? One team led the NFL in yards per play, that one team was the eagles. i also wonder if your stats include penalties. there are plenty that are automatic first downs and a few that put u in a better position to pick up the yards needed. how about if you look up the stats on how successful teams are on the road, with less than 2 minutes left, going vs a team they cannot stop, with only 2 timeouts and punting.
:+clueless
so what could they gain by punting? where were they already. the 35? how many yards did they stand to gain by punting even if they did hold, which was not likely? not many, pal. so, much less time, no timeouts, and not much better field position and chances are you cannot stop the other team anyway.
yeah, you're wrong.
someone on here mentioned that you know sports well, i'll have to reserve judgement on that.
