Analytics say you should go for it on 4th down. Ravens went 0-4 and the 1st 2 led directly to Titans TD's.
Math ain't a good head coach.

The Ravens were doing well until Jackson threw an interception on their first drive. Therefore teams should never throw a pass again!

Analytics are fine, but I don't think they account situational events that happen during a game. The Ravens were 100% on 4th and 1. Does that then mean you go for it from your own 5 yard line?
There was really no reason they should have gone for it on the first of those 4th and 1s. Other than what analytics said. Why the rush? Was the game getting out of hand? No. All they did was give the Titans a chance to build the lead and gain momentum. The Titans are no juggernauts. But if you give a well coached team that already believes they can win more confidence, good luck with that. That's where the coach needs to step in. |

Well, they weren't on their own 5 yard line. The risk reward changes based on field position.
You are basically saying "only go for it if you get it" which isn't really analysis or helpful. They've been going for that in similar spots all year and went 14-2 because of being aggressive. The reason to go for it is because then you can get a first down and score points. Scoring points is good. Most of the time you do get it, sometimes you don't. That's football and life. If I can roll a pair of dice and bet even money it won't come up 12 then I'm gonna do it even though it isn't impossible to hit 12. |

You dice example is simplistic. You're given a clear cut situation. Win 50 bucks or lose 50 bucks. The same is on the line either way with the odds being in your favor. Given the situation the Ravens had a lot more to lose if they didn't get it. |

I don't think going for it on 4th cost them the game. I also don't think going for it on 4th won them 14 games either. Fans need to stop worshiping numbers. Be balanced.

KC taking the Plaxico Burress approach to this game. Shooting their own selves.

Reid just hit Tyreke like he is Hill's bro-n-law.

texans kick on fourth and inches, give up td seconds later. no one going to talk about it though
sure hope they dont wish they had a touchdown at some point, not like the chiefs have an explosive offense or anything |

three is less than seven. kicking gave the KC defense a "win"
pretty convenient that when things go wrong after going for it then math is dumb but when things go wrong after kicking then its because of everything else |

I have never and will never criticize a coach for adding to the lead.

In a little more than 20 minutes, KC has outscored Houston 41-0.

There are a few scenarios where Harbaugh avoids criticism of his play-calling (& going with analytics-vs-gut). Most of those scenarios, though, include the Ravens winning the game. Go figure. |

Another example brain-dead clock-management at the highest levels of the game:
Texans' coach Bill O'Brien can't decide whether or not to go for it on 4th-and-4 with 11 minutes to go in the 4th quarter, down by 17. Regardless of the choice (the obvious choice is to go for it, IMO), he has to burn a timeout - which could possibly be crucial if they are to mount a comeback - all because of his indecision (or confusion?). This is the kind of decision that should've been anticipated when it was 3rd-and-4. Pathetic, at this level. |
