If you were to make a training film of how to avoid being penalized for roughing the passer, that would be exactly how you'd want it done. But, because it's Erin, they call it rtp.

Total head scratcher there! Just proves that these types of decisions get made by many coaching staffs, not just ours. Unless the kicker is hurt, it makes absolutely no sense.

"The total winning probability is now 62.5% when you go for 2 (50% from making the first conversion, 12.5% from splitting conversions and winning in overtime), versus only 50% when you kick extra points."

What is the two point conversion rate in the snow and on the road?

And there is the problem with the over-application of analytics. All things are NOT equal.

There are many upsides to applying analytics in finance, sports, etc. But that whole "there's a 71% chance of conversion" or "the winning percentage goes up by XX" is situational as much as anything. The Vikings' odds of converting 4th-and-1 last year was significantly below any generated success rate because the line was horrendous.

Assume a static economy......

I don't remember our coaching staff making that stupid of a go for 2 point decision.

It's really strange seeing our defense struggle so much. I would love to see both units playing well in the same game!

Thank you Jason Garrett for running 2 plays in a row when we had no clue how to stop the pass.
