In reply to: Cherry picking unsuccessful attempts is stupid. posted by tdiddy07

simply blindly following “go-for-it” analytics. Weather. Momentum. How’s my defense playing? How’s my offense playing? Does an unsuccessful 4th down attempt change the game more negatively than a successful FG does so positively? Is a punt better than going for it on 4th and 6 inches on my own 36?

Feel. Gut. These things still have a place in the game. Using an analytical sheet doesn’t take any skill.
