Peyton pulling away from Horn

[digits]

Statistically, it's supposed to be better to go for every single 4th down.

If Pete were to go for it on 4th every time on the opponents 45-20, I'd actually be okay with it

Every time? Not even close.

More often than most coaches go for it? Yes, especially early in the game or when the field goal doesn’t cross a key number.

But it will kill us when we need a FG to win or tie at the end.

Every time is hyperbole, but studies have shown your odds of winning increase by going for it at every opportunity. Too risky for any coach though, even Leach.

Still doesnt negate the fact a reliable kicking game is a season saver in close games.

No studies show that. Maybe you are thinking of the high school coach in Arkansas that never punts or kicks field goals but 1. that is high school where they can't kick anyway and 2. he has vastly superior talent

Husky skeeet posted the chart- most coaches punt far too often but aren't that far off on when they take the points.

Obviously that chart is based on pure expected points and doesn't take into account the game situation.

Couple things

Petersen punting from the Oregon 40 his first year in a game AT Husky Stadium set the program back years. We still haven't got our balls back. It was a horrible call. Gutless.

If a coach calls a time out on 4th down to decide if he wants to go for it or kick and then goes for it I know he is a HORRIBLE coach. Be fucking prepared before the game and don't give the defense a chance to get ready

If you go with a metric based no kick approach you have to live it every day and every game. The NY Giant coach was a moron for just trying it out of the blue

Like Sark "incorporating elements" of Chip Kelly's offense

People forget how unacceptable most of those losses were.

All these hot take narratives on the kicking battle are based on a sample of what, like eight "live" kicks spread across five practices?

John Anderson is one of the best kickers this school has ever had

First of all, mother fuck peyton Henry. Good god I just saw where Carli fucking Loyd hit a 55 yarder without the tee. Never again waste a scholly on a specialist. Fuck Horn, van soderberg, vizcaino, that gig harbor faggot and every other shit stain we have signed in the last 10 years.

Walk ons are fine (unless it is payton henry)
