"Dig me? Rochambeau!"

I think there is an argument Josh is better than any running back in short yard situations. Part of that being there are so many looks they can give. You put a big back in on short yardage, we are not as multiple. But leaves us open to critical injury to our QB, I will give you that. But I say it's worth it.

Would you prefer the Patriots have won and be closer to us for the division? Motivation is not measurable and plays a part, sure. But........

I used to want primetime games. Somewhere along the way, the 1pm start and routine that develops superseded the big lights. I used to care what national audience thought of us too.

wow lol... just...wow

A lot of factors. I choose to give the most weight to 'the way the game played out' factor. Go for 2 because probability favored KC driving some and kicking a FG. Now you have a chance down 8. Am I very mad? No. Is it why we lost? No. But these things can be the difference and I feel we went against the odds. Jmo

We should have went for 2 to make it a 5 point game, 23-18. My thought process: The thought of us scoring to make it 23-17, kicking off, stopping them before field goal range (and with time left), then driving down the field for a TD all seemed less probable (the stopping KC part), I thought KC would AT LEAST get a field goal with 5 minutes left or whatever it was (or drain the whole clock). So if we score and go for two, to make it 23-18, we can survive a KC field goal, being down 8 (26-18) with at least a chance. (this obviously isnt the reason we lost... I just thought in the moment we should've went for 2)

That's why you go for 2. The most probable thing happening was/is KC fg. Being down 5 gives you a chance if they kick the fg. If you miss the 2 pt you are still down 7.

Agree to disagree.

We should have went for 2

Cut 'em. A Beiber fan. unironically.

good thing it isn't a penny... " What he and his fellow researchers discovered (here’s a PDF of their paper) is that most games of chance involving coins aren’t as even as you’d think. For example, even the 50/50 coin toss really isn’t 50/50 — it’s closer to 51/49, biased toward whatever side was up when the coin was thrown into the air." https://www.smithsonianmag.com/science-nature/gamblers-take-note-the-odds-in-a-coin-flip-arent-quite-5050-145465423/#:~:text=For example%2C even the 50,was thrown into the air.&text=The spinning coin tends to,it finally comes to rest.

Isn't his point in his post to defend against people saying it's ridiculous we would even consider it ? That's how I took it. In which case I agree with Aristocrat.

I would guess you're right about the terms/length for each team and what they are offering. I don't necessarily agree with your last sentence.

I've listened to this so many times I've convinced myself its the best song ever...

Most COVID spread and deaths are not the result of malicious intent... Ignorance can be just as destructive.

The NFL knows most of their fans don't care that their math and protocols have gaping holes.

I wonder if the calculus was the possibility miami-denver won't matter in the standings. Could be way off depending on when it's rescheduled.

Do you think they went this route of postponing DEN v MIA because they are likely to end up not needing to play that game cuz they suck?

I say we beat the Chiefs 25% of the time. Which must blow your mind.

From article today: "I'm not sure what's crazier: the idea that Allen would be third in the MVP race after four games, or that Bills fans might realistically be able to get angry at his being only third in the MVP race after four games." https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/30066061/2020-nfl-quarter-season-awards-picks-mvp-rookies-year-top-coach-best-catch-more

Fair point as I have no idea how the TV coverage would work. I just think if the league wanted it on a Friday or Saturday, they would ask for a waiver, and it would be granted by the government. I don't think there is risk of jeopardizing their relationship with college football due to the reasons. But if the broadcast range was severely limited as precedent seems to suggest, then everything I said is moot I'd imagine.
