Going against analytics is the new analytics…. Way too many points left on the field in the first half this playoff season…. The limiting factors of analytics are heightened in the playoffs as well..

No the biggest flaw in analytics is the inability to use hindsight

Does this include the missed FGs?

This weather wasnt forecast. Official forecast was 1 inch for the whole evening; not 3 inches in a quarter.

When the numbers are totaled, they should have at least a third category for field goals
Made
Missed due to bad kicking
Missed due to weather winning over analytics.

Those were Hail Mary field goal attempts. Those in no way involved analytics …

But the forecast for Denver having a shitty QB the entire game was 100%. You take points when you have the chance.

In the Denver NE today yes but there were a number of missed FGs throughout the playoff both pro and college. Everyone always assumes the FG not tried when some team goes for it would be made
