Chargers fans need to drag that coach out to sea and keel haul his ass for the stupidest time out in the history of coaching. He totally cost his team a spot in the playoffs. Dumb, dumb, dumb.
 
Eaton, this is like a top 3 weirdest conversation I've been involved in on the internet and I've had many on this board about how it's less gay to watch tranny porn that straight porn.

Wasn't there like 5 seconds on the play clock?

If he was trying to stop the clock wouldn't you do it earlier in the play clock?
 
Analytically yes it was...

Given that games are dynamic, I don't know how one can ascribe a specific probability to the game outcome. I believe that they were more likely than not to convert, but with that much time left it's too dynamic to narrow it down a specific probability estimate of winning. Let alone one that's confidence interval wouldn't overlap with the other decisions win probability

A few more than that (maybe 27 seconds), but it was stupid. You could tell from the play calls on the Raiders sideline that they wanted to burn clock and be done with the game. Perhaps their coach wanted a different opponent than they would have played had the game ended in a tie. We'll likely never really know what he was thinking as I doubt he lays it all out there during the post-game presser.
 
These stats ignore situation awareness. They had just gotten completely stoned on 3rd down, and essentially tried the same play ... with identical results. Oh, and BTW - they were at their own 18 fucking yard line!
I know... I'm a believer you have to use analytics but also blend in some common sense.
 
I'm a believer in the idea that shitty analytics are no better than no analytics
