Around SBN: Leandro Damiao Is Still Really Good

OTTOTD: Kudos to Belichick

I tip my hat to Coach Belichick for his decision to go for the short 4th down conversion. I'm tired of hearing "play the percentages" from the media talking heads. What exactly are the percentages? What is Peyton's track record of driving down the field with 1 time out and 2 minutes or less in the game? I don't care what the Aaron Brooks of the worlds track record is.

Peter King put Manning's chance of success at 35% of going 70 yards. Maybe thats right, though I would guess higher, especially at home. His article failed to mention what his chance of success is to go 30 yards. If 70 yards was 35%, I would guess 30 yards would be 60%.  He is too good for the clock to be the determining factor. This was coming down to Peyton vs. the Pats D.  The Pats defense was tired. 2 small yards and the game is over with 100% certainty. If they needed to go 70, the first two passes would have been to Addai and Clark for 15-20 yards a piece over the middle.

Say the Pats had a 65% chance of converting 4th down, which also seems light. If they fail, the Colts have a 65% chance of winning. The expected outcome would of a Pats victory would be 65% chance of 100% victory + 35% chance of having a 35% chance of victory which comes out to 77.25% chance of winning. Unless you think there is less than 23% chance of Peyton going 70 yards (King picks 35%), then you support Belichick's choice.

In football, coaches err on the side of caution on 4th down for fear of being criticized. I think Bill's process was sound with a bad result. The Pats D still could have stopped the Colts. Given how quickly they folded, only further justifies the coach's decision.

Thus concludes my football rant, what sayeth you?

Great take

My thinking was similar. If you think you can get two measly yards to ice the game you do it. I’m not sure why they didn’t just run at Freeney. That dude gets thrown off the ball when it’s right at him. The only place to find a bigger set of balls is a bowling alley, it was gutsy and if they get those 2 yards, they just beat an undefeated, rival team, and he’s praised as a genius.

My Tweet to King

@FreeZorilla @SI_PeterKing Assume 80% chnce of Colts score on sht fld (conservative), Pats chance of victory is (65% of 100%)+(35% of 20%)=72%>65% punt

Looks like my line

Turner and my newly acquired Cedric Benson both out before they made huge impacts, add in Nate Burleson getting absolutely nothing, having to use Tony Romo because Schuab is on a bye and my decision to stubbornly pick the Titans D because my opponent has Chris Johnson, and the net result is an 80 point blowout that was over after the 1 o’clock games.

I can't wait until we trade him for a reliever.

Cool thanks

When you are using one of the top 5 QBs of all time, I would not use league average stats as Peyton at home in perfect climate is far better than Lg Avg.

No shame going for it, but why not spread the field and have everyone run three yard curls? Give yourself a little room for error with the routes and give Brady the chance to get the ball to an open man.

It did "fail" in real life

but if you look objectively at the replay, when he secured the ball after the bobble, it was on his front shoulder and his back foot was only about a foot from the 30, which means the ball is clearly on the 30. It wasn’t a good spot and the official probably still wouldn’t have overturned it because of the magnitude of the play, but they made the wrong call and it still should have been a 1st down.

Also, St. Pete Times, please stop giving Josh Freeman all credit for the team's improvement.

Improved offensive line play and using fully functional wide receivers (as opposed to Antonio Bryant) makes a huge difference.

Doesn't help when the d-line plays like 5 year old girls though.

DBs and LBs can only do so much when the line isn’t getting pressure.

Word.

Major props to the DBs. Sabby still generally sucks (though with signs of life), but Ronde, Tanard, and Aqib all deserve credit for holding up really well without a consistent pass rush.

Bates desperately needs to start using Hayes and Black as pass rushers, though.

by Suttree on Nov 16, 2009 12:38 PM EST up reply actions  

2 QB pressures in 31 pass attempts.

I don’t know why we aren’t blitzing more. In the beginning of the year, it seemed we were on every play. But I guess we’re not doing it because we need all the LB help we can get in the run-game. Having said that, I think Hayes has potential but Quincy Black is the biggest ghost on the team.

Hence why I asked.

That one didn’t matter but the pass interference or whatever it was later did. Also a bad snap exchange and some other things just didn’t help the Buc’s cause at the end.

by SRQman on Nov 16, 2009 12:50 PM EST up reply actions  

It was actually a defensive hold not a pass intereference.

But they called it pass interference and that may have been worse for the Bucs than if it were holding. Holding = 10 yards, PI = spot foul.

No idea what he did. All I saw him do was after Caddy got in, he (K2) pointed at the official

who had yet to signal TD. I see that all the time. Didnt come back to hurt us though.

Black's solid with potential to be better.

He’s the strong side linebacker, they tend to unnoticed because they’re banging away with tight ends and fullbacks.

He gets overwhelmed sometimes. I’d really like to see him used more as a blitzer. He’s got the tools for it.

by Suttree on Nov 16, 2009 12:44 PM EST up reply actions  

That is true. Outside of T-Jack and Aqib though, there have been little impact plays on the defense.

I love how people are on the “Bates must go” bandwagon because he defense is soft. They do realize we were in the Tampa-2 for the last drive right?

My sneaking suspicion has been we've played a lot more Tampa Two over the last few weeks without announcing it.

The said, Monte ran a lot of blitzes when he had to. It all depends on the defensive line’s talent level.

I agree. Freeman has already been much better than I thought. He is still struggling with reading defenses, which was the big knock against him. Im not saying he sucks, but I need to see that improve before I say he’s anywhere close to being the real deal.

On a serious note, I've been really pleased with Freeman, but let's not go annoiting him the savior yet.

He’s averaging a couple bad decisions a game, which isn’t any improvement over Josh Johnson and he’s gotten a little lucky that they haven’t become turnovers.

The INT was a completely hideous call that should have been either a first down completion or an incompletion.

Somehow they ruled it an interception after review. It pretty much lost us the game.

That said, he had two throws later that could have easily been picked. He’s great and terrible from one play to the next. Better than Sanchez, though.

From a KSK reader email.
First of all I have no idea how we lost that game. Like no fucking clue. Like you can’t dominate a game more than we did and lose.

How come no NFL fan remembers than MNF game where Pey Pey murdered us for three scores in three minutes? Tony Dungy referenced it on the pre-game show, but everyone was like, “Uhhhh….”. Last night’s game had nothing on the one from a few years back.

OWAH LAWSSES AH WARSE THAN YAR LAWSSES.

Usually, when I mention something literary, he divebombs me about my incompetency.

I went crazy last night. I'd say I went +200.

I had it going on and got off the game before I was terrible.

Oh, Christ.

On a related note: I am FB friends with a girl I used to work with in college. Smoking hot. Her recent status updates have been imploring all Twilight fans purchase Team Edward or Team Jacob from her for $12 (!!!!) to be adequately dressed for this weekend’s movie opening.

Haha these niggas sweatin me so hard

FREE SPEACH is a myth. There is no such thing as 100% free speech. You cannot go into a movie theater and say "FIRE"!…"What? I have freedom of speach!" Bull. Doesnt work that way. Any real lawyer will tell you that.
