These guys are on a roll today SportsPickle @sportspickle 1m Peter King shuts the game off and turns his Patriots highlights tape back on.
What a terrible play call on 3rd and goal - how can you not do some sort of play option or roll out with Newton?
NYT has something that calculates when a team should go for it on 4th down or not based on the probability.. NYT 4th Down Bot @NYT4thDownBot 47s Hmmm. FG unit is out on 4th and goal from the 2. I thought we were making progress, Coach R...
shouldn't the delay of game have stopped the game clock? It was ticking before the ball was snapped. About 10 seconds came off
Mike Pereira @MikePereira 1m For those asking, the clock was running when delay of game penalty occurred, so it continues to run after the ready for play. Mike Pereira @MikePereira 25s If you have two delays in a row, the clock would NOT restart.
seems like that could be exploited towards the end of a half when you don't want the other team to get the ball back. Say 3 minutes left, you let play clock run to 2:35 where it runs out, you take the penalty. Then you can potentially get to the 2 minute warning or at the end of a quarter if the winds are in your favor next quarter or something
Agreed, but we also have coaches who struggle with basic time management. I'm not sure if they could handle this :grin:
