I should be getting ready to go to the stadium right now
Einstein posted a topic in The Stadium Wall
I should be putting on my zubaz over layers of long underwear and sweatpants. I should be preparing a thermos full of warm beverage. I should be listening to pre-game on the radio. I should be deciding which lot I want to tailgate in. I should be checking Twitter for guesses on game day inactives. I should be checking the weather thread for any last minute updates. But instead i’m doing none of these things. Due to the worst 13 seconds of coaching that my brain can ever remember. /End bitching.- 97 replies

Ken Dorsey - would he choose OC here or leave to be Daboll's OC?
Einstein replied to Heavy Kevi's topic in The Stadium Wall
Keep in mind that whatever happens, it doesn’t mean that it was our guys decision. -

Forget Dorsey at this point. Anyone other than Pederson is a disappointed. The QB he won a Super Bowl with is currently the 3rd string QB for the Chicago Bears. -
McDermott's first Offensive Coordinator hire back in 2017

There was nothing complex about those 13 seconds. -

Einstein replied to Bag of Milk's topic in The Stadium Wall
At the end of the season, all teams are equal except for 1. I don’t care about playoffs. I care about Super Bowls. Everyone makes mistakes. Some forget to take the garbage out. And others accidentally set their house on fire. There are degrees to mistakes. -

Yes. And i’ve seen numerous and repeated gameday mistakes, each and every year. -

Did you watch the last 13 seconds of last Sundays game? -

Olson actually withdrew to become the Rams QB’s coach. Which is even more insulting. Now that i’ve edited out the “rah rah”, let’s focus on reality. Just like any other position on earth, the very best are already employed and under contract. There may be endless people who want the job, but can not have it due to contractual obligations. That leaves: 1) Former OC’s without a job - Which makes you question WHY they are without a job. 2) People who have never been an OC, and they will be learning on the job. …. -
I fear that we all may learn that the grass isn’t always 525nm of wavelength on the other side.

It’s not about who “wants” to coach Josh Allen. Of course there will be dozens. Its about who is available. Coaches can’t just leave contracts. And the best OC’s are already employed.

Forget speed. Im more concerned that McDermott has not given the players any explanation for what occurred on Sunday. That is deeply disappointing.

“We can smile today because we have Josh Allen”
Einstein replied to JohnNord's topic in The Stadium Wall
Really like Josh Allen. But Dolphin fans like Marino too. Zero trophies. I want Allen. And the Trophies. -
Your chances of scoring on any given drive nearly TRIPLE when you start on your opponents 45 yard line. In addition to this, the way your opponent plays defense also changes once you pass mid-field in a sudden death scenario. With only 45 yards to the endzone, there is a legitimate chance of scoring on every play. The defense must play a soft shell or cover 2/3 defense to protect the endzone. This leaves the short to intermediate range more susceptible. And none of this even touches on the psychological component of your defense walking onto a field knowing theyre only 45 yards away from losing.

I agree. This was only a tiny factor, but one I thought interesting none-the-less. Probably very little, and here is why. Most teams do not have the offensive firepower of Kansas City. If you gave the Lions an extra 2 possessions per game, there is a very likely chance that they score nothing with those two possessions. Same goes for probably a dozen other teams. So when looking at an overall aggregate, you are likely to see very little difference. BUT, when you give an offensive juggernaut 2 extra possessions - like KC, or Buffalo - You are much more likely to get another score (and perhaps a win) out of the additional attempts. .

Much of the media is focusing on the inequality of OT due to a coin toss that allows one team to win without the other touching the ball. However, I hypothesize that both coin tosses are of similar blame. To be clear, I do not contend that the original (before game) coin toss rules are unfair or need to be changed. This is not a complaint post or an excuse post. It's simply something I find interesting. Coin Toss 2: When you win the coin toss in OT, you are awarded not only the ball but also an opportunity to “steal” an entire possession from your opponent. That is, with a TD, your opponent never touches the ball. This is Minus-1 drive for the coin toss loser. Coin Toss 1: The pre-game coin toss also comes with the potential to gain an extra possession. When you win the coin toss before regulation, you are not only awarded the choice to receive or defer, but you are also awarded an opportunity to “steal” a possession from your opponent if you play it right. This happens when you defer, then possess the ball last in the 2nd quarter, and receive it again during the 3rd quarter kickoff. This is also Minus-1 drive for the coin toss loser. Because the Chiefs won BOTH coin tosses, they were able to “steal” TWO entire possessions from the Bills. The Chiefs ended up with 11 Drives/Possessions, and the Bills ended up with 9 Drives/Possessions. Because there were no turnovers on either side, the balance stayed at 2 stolen possessions. The Chiefs scored 42 points on 11 possessions and the Bills scored 36 points on 9 Possessions. Summary: The Bills actually scored more per possession than the Chiefs. But the opponent simply had two entire extra drives in which to score with. PS, I took a look at every playoff game over the past 3 years in the NFL, and on average the winner of the coin toss had close to 1.5 more minutes of possession. The average possession in the NFL is about 2.5 minutes. Which tells me that the winner of the coin toss is a stealing a possession in about 2 of every 3 games. Ish. .

If you lose the coin toss, you’re probably going to lose the game. If you lose the onside kick attempt, you’re definitely going to lose the game. I’ll take “probably” over “definitely”.

McDermott’s defensive timeouts have jumped the shark
Einstein replied to Einstein's topic in The Stadium Wall
No they didn’t. Here is before and after the timout. They never showed 0 blitz. They showed the exact same alignment on both plays, and on both plays Poyer moved back into Cover 2 post snap. Before Timeout After Timeout -

Einstein replied to Einstein's topic in The Stadium Wall
Correct. And the term has evolved into broader usage as an idiom that describes anything that is no longer interesting, useful, as designed, or smart. In other words, something that is on the decline. I realize that this is the internet and therefore everyone wants to argue semantics, but this is a bit ridiculous.
