2023 NFL Gameday Thread: SUPER refBOWL!

It’s definitely possible. I think even likely. Goff throws a wobbly ball at times though, but from this angle there was a defender with his hands up and the ball seemed to drop faster than expected. But counterpoint, you’re an NFL receiver and this is where your hands and ball meet. Should be trivial.

did you go into the rabbit hole a bit on how they actually work? seriously asking, I never have of course. i can think of many ways where a twitter account ‘go for it’ estimation would be pretty much within the margin of error for many close decisions.

Guessing @LKJ is pretty happy about this. I think he will be a good fit.

Oh nice, you broke the news for me here. I was definitely on board with this idea.

I kind of hate any defensive mined coaching hire now. Think I’d always learn towards a younger offensive dude.

Is defensive HC + younger OC against what you’d want?

I feel like there’s maybe a peter principle thing going on. I’m enjoying the results of a former player/players coach paired with the young offensive mind in Dan Campbell/Ben Johnson.

I feel like Reid and Belichick are the only coaches that have given their teams an actual schematic advantage for a period longer than a year or two.

It’s not like Sean McVay’s offenses have kept innovating and dominating since the first year or two.

McVay seems to have punched above his weight this year, at least schematically. His in game decisions are not good.

Basically any model you could build will be within the margin of error on “close” decisions for a number of reasons. However, the Xchan folks seem to think that the models aren’t baking all future states of the game into the calculation–which would be like a chess engine that sees zero moves ahead. Like Burke says that makes absolutely no sense except to people doing their own chemtrails research apparently. The other trope was that you can’t quantify a team’s psychological mindset after failing to convert.

The missed tripping call on Jones was horrendous. Should have been a safety. But of course they didn’t mention it on the broadcast because it didn’t fit whatever narrative Tony was blathering about at the time.

What in the ass does “He ate” means?

So depressing that the nfl is doing this.
