wonder how they factor in the irrational reaction to not getting a 4th and 1 even if it was the right call to make?

quote:analytics only work if people are not going to overreact to any single decision that has a bad outcome. Which is the biggest issue. While winning is great, what's even better is having a job. So you'll opt for the "less crazy" option because no one will call for your head if it doesn't work out.

I dont think analytics works in the NFL.

Analytics is just a fancy way of saying “making decisions.”
All teams and all humans at all levels do it. Some just use math to reach the decision.

So is that their new offensive coordinator now? Madden it instead of strategist?

No, analytics helps with decision making.

Yup, the smart ones.
I feel like analytics lends itself a bit better to baseball and basketball, but would love to know what those guys work on

Is anyone really surprised this is two Asian guys?

Absolutely. We all use some form or fashion of “analytics” to make decisions. Some use math. Some use history and experience, some use emotion, some data, but at the end of the day it’s all analytics.... You take the information that you have and the information that you choose to deem important and use and you make a decision.

The definition of analytics is changing in sports context. Stop being difficult. If you can’t understand this, stop posting.

not really
it's just in search of below the surface data to influence decision making. it's not magic

Oh I get it and totally understand that there are new categories of “ analytics” in sports and the definition is evolving. I just don’t really like when some fans and commentators go over-the-top with praise about how some coaches focus on one form of “analytics” over another when they ALL use analytics. I don’t like the “OMG OMG that coach is sooo smart because he uses a decision-making chart.”
I guarantee you every coach in America knows what the other team’s tendency on 3rd and 4th and short is, which is one of many many forms of analytics.
By no means am I asserting analytics are bad. Of course they are good and help with decision-making. Which is why every coach uses analytics to some degree. It’s just the categories of data analytics is changing, but analytics has always been a part of the game.

Is that what they call their "Road Grader" offensive line. KC could not handle them.

This makes me thing you don't understand what analytics means because they are applicable in every single football decision. It's just using data to make better decisions not a road map on how to win a game. How could that not work in the NFL?

What was the analytics on Tomlin choosing to kick the ball to start OT

That was probably a lack of analytics.

I thinks it’s more like a decision tree where you do abc in xyz situation to optimize your chance of winning a game.

I think he means the dataset is way smaller (compared to baseball) from year to year so it is hard to do any meaningful analysis without having to simulate results based on some arbitrary assumptions
