2018-19 NFL PLAYOFFS THREAD: CHAMPIONSHIP SUNDAY -- Rams steal a win, Brady/Reid do the thing again

[lightweight champion]

Onside or kick it deep with all 3 TOs and the 2 minute warning?

 

[franknbeans]

That flag weak as ****. 4th down and they’re both pushing each other. You can’t call that there.

Man you already know what it is , this is “ Americas team “ smh

 

[second2nonee]

They go for 2 and get stuffed and it's game over

And it's the same thing if you get stuffed at the end of the game.

you go for the 2 early. so you know how many scores you need if you convert or not. it's math, plenty of data supports it

 

[Hahahaha]

We see refs bail teams out all the time at the end of the games. It’s so ****in old now, every week it’s someone getting bailed out by a call that’s questionable

 

[aNYone]

Can’t remember the last time an onside worked. They’ve got 3 time outs. No choice but to kick it deep.

 

[3god]

Dak almost fumbled

Boys should really be going for 2 here

Refs are some trash. If you throw that flag, it's gotta be illegal contact not DPI.

Going for two there would have been a terrible call.

 

[carver]

I'm tripping cause that was a pretty easy PI call there

 

[second2nonee]

No you go for 2 next TD. Game is over if they don’t convert

game is over if they don't convert on the next TD. but if you go early you know how many scores you need and have the foresight to better control the clock

there are also so many factors that work in your favor going for 2. momentum, defenses gassed, etc.

it's just math

 

[HNL HI]

just noticed they playing suga free in the coliseum

 

[kicks2024]

Didnt catch either game today til these last 4 min.

Both werent close correct? Essentially this game wasnt as close as the score makes it or am i wrong, Dallas played it close?

Yeah but if they went for two now & failed, it's a 9 point game with 2 minutes left.

Yeah wasn’t as close as it looks.

Rams killed them on 1st downs, rushing yards.

Pretty much everything

Nah you cant go for 2 there if they dont get it then they need the ball twice in 2 min, highly unlikely

 

[rolaholic]

Big boy play from Goff

 

[cool...but rude]

BALL GAME!

 

[frink85]

my quarterback

 

[second2nonee]

if you fail at the end of the game, it's over with no chance to even get that extra score. you go for it now so you know what you need to do.

nick you're an ~analytics guy. you should know the #'s back all this data lol

 

[carver]

Jared Vick

 

[tramericanjr]

Blouses

 

[Maximus Meridius]

Goff lookin like the white Mike Vick

 

[fearless]

nice spin move haha

 

[Nike Still Sux]

Goffense

 

[second2nonee]

needing the ball twice in 2 min >>>> needing the ball twice with however much time is left if they actually scored (which is less than 2 min)

knowing you need 2 scores in 2 min >>> scoring with 20 sec left and not converting then having to score again with an onside

it comes down to probability and time management

it's been debated ad nauseum. going for 2 early is +EV

 

[Bosa]

Anderson cant get up all game to save his life

Edit , spoke too soon

 

[frink85]

GAME!
