Dumb Decisions: The MOST FOOLISH FIELD GOAL EVER | Titans @ Colts (2022)
Вставка
- Опубліковано 18 жов 2024
- Kicking a field goal down by 7 points with 2 minutes left seems stupid, right? Well, not according to Indianapolis Colts head coach Frank Reich. Because in week 4 of the 2022 NFL season against the Tennessee Titans, for some reason, he did just that. And unsurprisingly, it backfired in spectacular fashion, to the point where he now has the hottest seat of any coach in football. This is a breakdown of that dumb decision

And the season of dumb decisions continues!
I don't think passing up a chance to try to convert a 4th & 21 makes this the "most foolish field goal ever." I don't think it's anywhere close to the Packers kicking against Tampa Bay in the playoffs, for example. When it's 4th & 21 there aren't a lot of good options.
Especially when you compare it to Dan Quinn and the Falcons electing to kick a field goal a. at the 1 b. while down 4 c. with under 3 minutes left in Week 9 of 2015 against the 49ers.
If it’s a 6-point game, I’d agree. But down 7, even if you make the field goal it adds almost nothing to your win probability because you still need a 3-and-out plus a TD anyway.
You have nothing to lose by going for it, so you may as well, even if it seems impossible.
@@clydemiller4776 For me, this is all about weighing up the probabilities. I think his 18% he gave in the video is far too high for that Colts offence, given that their pass catchers are essentially MPJ and the TEs, but the TEs won't get 21y+ before Ryan gets eaten alive. At least a FG means the improbable '3-and-out + TD' (or 'onside kick + TD') wins the game, whereas going for it and failing means the '3-and-out + TD' still only ties it, thus only bringing the win probability up to just under 50% (or slightly higher if you go for 2, but with the risk of immediate loss). Honestly, I think Reich's main judgment error here is overestimating his practice squad kicker. Ultimately, I would probably have gone for it, but I don't think it's monumentally stupid.
@@clydemiller4776 Reich is just so stupid, i couldn't believe what i was seeing
@Danny Dolan True, but given the way Stonehouse had been flipping the field all day, even if you pinned the Titans inside the 5y line, and you make the stop, his punt back would likely leave you inside your own 40. You'd still need the stop either way, so to me, the field position is not a big enough issue to sacrifice the potential points.
I’m surprised your editor is still working for you, based on how many times you accuse him of messing up 😂
George Jetson can relate
Honestly, it’s a trope of a bad writing
“Welcome to Dumb Decisions. Today we take a look inside the mind of my editor, JG6…”
@@MoeLestingYou Hey; you try researching and cutting 1-2 15-minute videos a day while going to school or having a job, without developing any crutches.
The writing might be cheesy sometimes, but the frequency and quality of content is kind of remarkable.
@@MoeLestingYou Oh please. The guy is comedy gold.
So far this season seems to be the season of boneheaded decisions by head coaches.
If the Colts punted, Welcome to In Defense Of... (at least there's a solid case for this decision as to playing to win the game)
If the Colts went for it and failed, Welcome to In Defense Of... (the more obvious choice of playing to win the game)
What they actually did, Welcome to Dumb Decisions.
This makes me think so much of Dan Quinn deciding to have the Falcons kick the field goal down by four.
Not even remotely close to the same thing.
No that was much worse
@@pronkb000 It kind of is. It was late in the game and both coaches needed a touchdown to take the lead. By kicking the field goal instead of going for it, you're either a. accepting defeat and creating ammunition for your detractors along with possibly losing the trust of your team or b. hoping that by some kind of miracle that you will recover the onside kick and score again to take the lead if the try is a success. It's a no-win situation and you never take the points in a late game situation.
And I just remembered Matt LaFleur did the same thing in the 2020 NFC Championship but that time, a touchdown and two-point conversion were needed to tie rather than take the lead.
That's exactly what I thought of. It's made worse by the fact that Matt Ryan had to suffer under the incompetence of both of these decisions. At this rate, he's not getting a ring, and that makes me sad as a life long Falcons fan.
Nathaniel Hackett "Hold my beer"
Him declining that holding yesterday made me laugh so fuckin hard as a raider fan
@@ShrexyGuy declining the hold stopped the clock. Still dumb because it was a two possession game. Instead of letting the game end, he calls all of his timeouts like a weirdo. I knew he was going to do that because he did that against the Seahawks.
Ironically, IF Reich and Hackett are head coaches on Thursday night, then there is a good enough reason for the game to be on Amazon Prime, it’s the toilet bowl.
4th and 21 is a little more difficult to convert than like 4th and 10 or under
This isn't as bad as the 2015 Falcons electing to kick a field goal a. from the 1 b. while down 4 c. with under 3 minutes to go.
Matt LaFleur vs. the Bucs in the 2020 NFC championship game would like to have a word with you.
Only explanations: Colts analytics staff was thinking of McAfee era Colts who recovered multiple on-sides kicks in one season. Or the analytics staff misconverted the chance of recovering an on-sides kick of 0.09 to 90%.
Converting a 4th and 21: highly unlikely.
Recovering an onside kick: even less likely.
An onsides kick wasn't necessary. The Colts still had all 3 timeouts and the 2 minute warning.
They didn't need to onside kick, so that's not really relevant either way.
Colts coulda easily just ran the ball at the 34 and 24, make it a 24-23 game, and Reich looks okay at the end of the day. Trying to be flashy when you know your offense is cold but getting gifted points is NOT the answer and him being willing to do that, to me at least, is truly dumber than even surrendering by attempting a long distance field goal with an, essentially, still brand new kicker
Edit: and I do know Taylor fumbled that second drive but still, him being fed more in a short period means he potentially is off the field on that 3rd down carry
@Endocher when you're in field goal range in a close game it isn't about moving the ball down field, it's about keeping the ball and keeping in range for field goals a, basically, rookie kicker can have more confidence in attempting em. Plus it'd make it a walk off field goal scenario if they get the ball back or keeps them out of a 4th and 21 and potentially simply build some momentum by getting points off their stops and TOs the first time instead of looking like they floundered thru the playbook for something that may work possibly, but most likely won't given how it looks like Reich has lost it this year and Ryans age has caught up with him
The formula for losing has set in !!. I believe it will continue.
Can we please do a video on John Harbaugh did yesterday on 4th & goal?
That was terrible. Just get the 3 points and the lead.
@@danejurus69 yep thought that was coming out today.
I think that's more deserving of an In Defense Of... than a Dumb Decision. Not saying I would have done it, but with Allen and the Bills slinging the ball around I can see the logic.
As if to say the Bills defense doesn't deserve any credit? They forced that turnover. Big interception by Jordan Poyer. But hindsight is 20/20, right?
Nah. Tie game. Chance to go up 7 against a team that's been shredding your defense for the entire second half (so a. it's still tied if you fail or b. you force the Bills to score a TD on their ensuing drive to force OT) vs. going up 3 and you lose if they score a touchdown (which they absolutely would have if they kept pressing rather than killing the clock at the 1 and kicking a field goal at :00).
In my opinion as a colts fan, the big brain move is to punt. Our punter has been one of the best in the league, and our defense was putting on a clinic in the second half. Pin them deep, get a stop and have another chance. With them being pinned deep you would have good field position when you got the ball back. Going for a 4th and 21 is plain stupid with over 2 minutes left
The main punter in on ir
@@acolytewill3682 so? The backup was a starter for years in Buffalo and he’s playing outstanding
If you want an idea for another dumb decision between the two teams in the video cover the game in Indianapolis 2017. The game was played Thanksgiving weekend and for some odd reason, Jim Irsay decided to have the retractable roof open despite the outside weather being 37 degrees at kickoff. To date this is the latest that either the roof or window has been open at Lucas Oil Stadium
Omg, put him in prison for that! Holy shit....🤣🤣🤣
@@lukast02 i’m trying to find it, but there is a chart out there that has told the entire history of Lucas oil stadium home games on when the roof has been open in that stadium.
What? The roof has been open at least a few times since 2017. Those little booklets you get at the games have a “roof history” section in them
@@FIeeceJohnson I know what you’re talking about, I’ve seen those before however I can’t find it online. But from what I’ve looked through from the past season, that has been the latest home game the Colts played where the roof has been open
This reminds me of Matt LaFleur in the 2020 NFCCG kicking a field goal down by 8 except it was 4th and 21 in this scenario
A Buster Poindexter reference in 2022. These are some odd times indeed.
JUST what was on my mind during the game. I just have no words.
You failed to mention the fact the Colts defense wasn't allowing any points and only a few first downs that entire second half. As a Colts fan I think there is better options for coach but I also think that this wasn't "The MOST FOOLISH FIELD GOAL EVER" I feel as if Franks decision to go for the field goal which was the exact yard distance he made the week prior wasn't all that bad but the fact that they had to deal with a 4th and 21 is the bad part.
I'm only 7 minutes into the video but I've just gotta get this off my chest now. I'm squarely in the camp of new-age philosophy in terms of fourth down attempts and going for two. That being said, kicking this field goal is the correct decision.
As you stated, there aren't many plays that'll net you 21 yards. If you go for it, best case scenario is that you convert and have two minutes to score your touchdown, meanwhile the Titans have three timeouts to leave time on the clock for them to possess the ball last. If you don't convert, the Titans have almost 70 yards of field to kill 2 minutes, and if they score you're down by two scores with not enough time left. Punting is just an even less favorable version of not converting on fourth down. Kicking the field goal, however, allows you to possess the ball last whether you make it or not. If made, you can either go for the win with an onside attempt, or just kick it deep and allow your defense to hold like they have been the entire second half. You've got 4 timeouts since we're on the plus side of two minutes, and if the Titans manage to put up a field goal you're still only down one score AND you possess the ball last. Missing the field goal gives the Titans only 60 yards to kill two minutes or score again. If they break your defense, then nothing has changed because it's the same as not converting on 4th down. Except there's likely to be more time on the clock because they have a shorter field to work with because of the field goal attempt. The math changes if this decision came while under two minutes. But in this scenario, this is the winning play. The object of the game of football is not to score more points than your opponent -- it's having possession of the ball when the clock hits double zeroes.
I've seen far worse decisions than this earlier this season. Taking a sack is what complicated things.
Matt Ryan always takes sacks when the game on the line
It's hard for a bad coach and play-caller to trump himself, but he did it
Funny thing is, nobody here locally is talking about this decision. The only talk has been the Colts poor play and game planning/mgmt/coaching.
Oh God, that was my first in-person game! Glad we got the win that game, but that was just a baffling decision.
I might have tried the 4th & 21, but on the flip side, if your kicker makes the field goal, you have an opportunity to collect an onside kick and go for the win on the next drive.
You know it's bad when kicking a almost meaningless field goal isnt the dumbedt call a coach had that week.
Nathaniel Hackett: Hold my beer
Respectfully, I disagree with this one. The Colts actually have a better chance at converting an onside kick after making the field goal than they have a chance of converting this 4th and 21. Plus, will all 3 timeouts and the 2MW, they had a chance to get the ball back even if they didn't convert.
I respectfully disagree. Make or miss, you're still behind, and need a TD. I get where you're coming from. I just have a different response
you're kidding, right?
This is great, but if you wanna talk about dumb coaching, make a video about John Harbaugh soon please! Lol
Harbaugh was on here for that 'rush 0' package in the Patriots game. The aggressive decisions not working out weren't good, but they were defensible. Dumb Decisions is for completely inexplicable stuff
4 out of 22 is a lot better conversation rate from 4th and 20+ than I would have thought.
As soon as I saw them line up for a field goal I knew this would be a video 🤣
Imagine if JaguarGator9 were an NFL Head Coach, every decision he makes in a critical spot would be the correct one, or at least justify an In Defense of Video, which has been a while since 1 of those were made.
When I saw it live I knew it would be your next video lmao. So bad.
JG9! You NEED to do a video on the Eagles points by quarter so far! The Eagles have 85 points total in the second quarter, and in the other three combined, they have just 30. They have been outscored in both the 1st and the 4th quarter, yet erupt every second quarter for at least 17 points each time. This is one of the craziest stats I've ever seen in football. Eagles have 21.3 points in the second quarter on average. Thats by far 1st in the NFL. Second is the Chargers at just 12. PLEASE do a video on this!
That’s pretty interesting
I was fully expecting today's video would be about the Bills-Ravens game, criticizing Harbaugh's decision to go for it on fourth down.
Right decision. Data says it was. Common sense says it does. They drove 75 yards for a score after that. If they didn’t stop they could’ve gotten a TD.
@@dylanf3108 I'm glad you aren't an NFL head coach
@@jcore0981 Just an fyi if they kick the FG they lose by 4.
The decision seemed worse because of the interception. If they just failed to convert, the bills have the ball on their own 2. If they kick the field goal, the bills likely get the ball back at their own 25, and they would play for the win rather than kneeling at the 1 for the field goal. From how the bills moved the ball in the 2nd half, the bills likely would have drove down the field just like they did in their actual last drive, and would have gone for the touchdown instead of the field goal.
@@dylanf3108 I didn't know you could read the future. Maybe if Harbaugh coached a better defense on that last possession instead of insanely soft coverage they win.
Excellent video. I am so discouraged with the football intelligence of these coaches featured on this topic . There are 32 jobs available and quite a few of them are unqualified
Or not as good as they once were.
If I was there, I would tell Colts Coach Frank Reich from the stands, "HEY! YOUR NAME IS GERMAN FOR FRANCE!!"
He's getting fired end of the season
a bit harsh on the icon blurb. don't remember anyone saying this sort of thing last year. there's a lot of football left so don't throw the baby out with the bath water.
😅😅
the Wentz trade gonna look like the biggest lose-lose trade ever💀
nah they giving us a 2nd rounder so we chilling. colts won the trade by default
As a colts fan I’m embarrassed.. so many things that don’t make sense has happened over the last 5 years .. sold on a dream that’s resulted in 1 playoff win in the worst devision
Division, and you SHOULD BE embarrassed
Not pertaining much to this game, but is it me, or has there already been a TON of fumbles already this year?
Yep
Titans fan here. Great video. Good luck against LETS RIDE.
Totally agree.. Stupid decision to go for a FG.. To make the final score closer??
I saw this and said yep this is going to be on the next episode of dumb decisions.
6:44 welcome to DUMB DECISIONS
As a Cotls fan it's humbling on how and they are struggling I their dovsion so the next improtant games ot win is the non-disvsional but in conference game sliekt he Cheifs,Broncos ,Raiders,Chargers. ,Patriots,Steeelrs,etc
Absvlutlvy
Do us all a favor and don't smoke a bong before posting.
@@Rockhound6165 lol, he is a humbled colts fan....lol redundancy
I'm curious if your next video is going to be of how Harbaugh went for it on 4th and goal from the bills 3 when tied, even tho the ravens second half d was definitely faltering
Ask Freddie Mitchell if 4th and 21 (or, say, 26) is possible to convert.
Thank you so much for being one of the only people to finally bring up what us colts fans been talking about for a while and how this man should be fired.
Ballard is the even bigger issue.
They both need to be fired
If you have followed the Colts for the past few decades (I have been following them since 1976), you would know that their offensive lines have had trouble getting pushes to convert 4th and 1s. Refer to, for starters, to the game last week against the Chiefs where Taylor was absolutely stuffed on a 4th and less than 1, and this week with Taylor fumbling on a short yardage situation, where there was no hole to be found. So, a 4th and 21 is pretty much beyond the realm of possibility unless you are hoping for a pass interference call. This is not Manning and Wayne, Harrison and Clark.
Also, that 4th and 4 that they went for against the Texans in 2019, had to be one of the dumbest play calls I had seen in ALL my years watching Colts football. The Colts had staged a huge rally to tie the game and actually probably would have won the game if a wide open Mo-Allie Cox (who was a raw rookie I believe that year) had not dropped a short pass from Luck that would have kept a drive alive earlier in OT.
The immediate and logical reply to Reich's comment after that game as to why he went for it - "We are playing to win, not tie" - would have been: "Fine, but that does not mean you have to needlessly lose a game in trying to achieve that goal...while also putting a division rival back in the division race, where to that point, they had ZERO wins!"
So many times I hear you say win when TIE is the correct term here.
14:35 It's now tied for the 4th largest comeback in college football history. Michigan St. has the largest comeback
I like Reich but man that was stupid. Even if they got the ball back they need a touchdown. WTF was he thinking especially with a kicker who sucks. That sack on 3rd down put us out of good FG position anyway. I know it 4th and 21 but still throw one into the endzone.
That being said that game really showed that we need to get rid of the GM because we DO NOT HAVE good WRs. Nobody to throw ball to in endzone which is why we can't get touchdowns reliably.
Going to be a LOOOOONG season.
You play to win the game... Or at least tie it.
The wideouts and TEs played good you sure you watched the game
@@filmstudy5229 Not in the endzone though. They can drive the field but they just don't have that guy that can get a grab in the back of the endzone. We have a lot of 2 and 3 WRs but not really a WR1. Pittman is a great 2 but he is not a one. All the catches he missed in endzone just shows that.
@@edwardrhoads7283 dude are you sure you watched the game?? Mo Allie cox caught 2 tds in the Redzone
@@edwardrhoads7283 the receivers aren’t the problem wtf are you watching it’s the O line holy shit dude
@@filmstudy5229 He didn't catch them in the endzone. That is what we are missing. Too many times we get to the 1 then FG at best.
Did you see the bears decide to punt it on 4th and 1, at mid field, down 2 scores and with about 2 min left in the 4th quarter? I would argue that decision is even more egregious than this one as even if you don't get the 1 yard you still have to rely on your defense to make a stop so punting accomplishes nothing more than losing time and timeouts.
They probably won't fire him now because of Thursday Night Football against the Broncos......after that though....
MORE DUMB DECISIONS!!!!
This can't be the same Frank Reich who, during his playing career, led 2 of the biggest comebacks in football history!!
He had a better head coach.
Is this a worse decision than Dan Quinn kicking a field goal a. at the 1 b. while down 4 c. with under 3 minutes left in regulation? 4th & 21 vs. 4th & inches.
This is Monday morning asf
Reich has been doing this type of shit since the start, week at the 1Q up 3-0 he decided to try a 4&goal at the 6 yard line in a play action that everyone knew was a play action and end up turning over on downs
Is the whole thing a fix and just coming undone?
Green Bay did this to us vs TB in NFC title game. Makes no sense
I mean it’s 4th and 21 and they have all 3 time outs. It’s actually the ONLY logical decision. What are they gonna punt? Go for it, not make it and give the ball back anyway? Might as well get some points and let your offense feel like they’ve accomplished something. This is a poor assessment of what ultimately was a good decision.
His time has ran out in Indianapolis. He’s mentally and emotionally clocked out. The franchise acquiring Matt Ryan hasn’t worked out thus far, and he’s possibly lost the locker room including the trust of team owner, Jim Irsay. There’s a rebuild coming in Indianapolis and he realizes that he will not be overseeing it. The writing is on the wall and he’s holding the crayon. One more lopsided loss to a division rival and he’s gone by Week 7.
The Colts were really in a no man's land here. If they had a good kicker (they don't), then this decision is okay. But you're needing almost everything to go right...convert long FG with practice squad kicker, 3-and-out from defense against Derrick Henry, and a touchdown drive on next possession. I get why the Colts did what they did but I think I would've just taken a shot on 4th and 21...relying on one prayer instead of three. Tennessee was having serious trouble covering their TEs and Farley/Mitchell are terrible outside corners.
Completely unrelated, but I was hoping for a fair catch kick at end of regulation in NE vs GB game.
Uugghh.... this Colts season is gonna be long and frustrating
'dead on balls accurate?' leo getz things done.
You should do film from UT Vols vs Florida 😁
He has to be trying to get himself fired. I feel like there's easier ways to go about that though. Like he could just resign? Maybe he wants to drag the rest of the organization down with him.
I like Reich, but I cannot wrap my head around this decision.
If you could still overload one side of the field during kickoffs, this would be at least a more defendable move by Frank Reich since the onside kick would be easier to recover.
Questionable Call, but not the dumbest decision I've ever seen. Punting is honestly the only smart option
6:38 into this video the score is 24-17 Titans, 4th & 21 for the Colts on the Titans' 33, and the Colts have 3 times out left and the Titans haven't scored all half.
I think the field goal is the correct choice. Even if the field goal is not made, there is a good chance the Colts get the ball back and have time to score a touchdown.
The odds of picking up a first down are less than 18%. Remember, it's the Colts. So going for it on 4th & 21 is equivalent to missing the field goal.
Going for it is NOT your only option. Hoping for a penalty to bail you out is not rational.
You are correct about Derrick Henry and Tannehill had a great game too. But going for it on 4 & 21 is much less likely than attempting the field goal.
You don't have to try for the on-side kick, if the field goal is good.
If you get the field goal and touchdown, you win.
If you get the touchdown and go into overtime, you likely lose.
So, if you go for it on 4th & 21 and score the touchdown, you have to go for the 2-point conversion, with less than a 50% of converting, whereas the field goal had a 57% chance of converting.
I would kick the field goal. I think the punt is a good choice, too.
I have a master's degree in Statistics.
Usually I agree but I don’t agree with this one. Hindsight is 20/20
HAHAHA!!! Dude, if you're freaking out about bad decision making by the Colts....you would have STROKED OUT by now watching the Lions play, so be thankful!!!!
Do a video on the Ravens blowing the games this season
I’m hoping we lose Thursday
My first thought was: What is today's dumb decision? We have one every Sunday now.
Edit: Frank Reich of all people making this call is disappointing to say the least
What about Josh McDaniels? Now that's a fiery seat
Typically first year coaches are given a bit more leeway to suck. Though McDaniels isn't doing himself a single favor
trust me, it was WAY more painful in person :/
I'd say Jim Irsay is pissed right now but he's literally a billionaire so I'm sure that helps keep the pain to a minimum.
Did he not learn anything from the 2020 NFC Championship game?
Looked like the Titans got a partial block?
If these two teams were not in the Jacksonville Jaguars’ division, would you be so upset about this call?
I would love to applied for the editor position
Titan Up!!!
Gotta think Baltimore going for it was dummer...but I'm a ravens fan and they have THE BEST KICKER OF ALL TIME.
Dumb has a buh buh Bee in it
ho hum more F L U F F.
Only the Texans and Jags to to complete the AFC South in this series this season.
Overdramatize much? A large part of your argument is based on the assumption that the Colts would have attempted an onside kick had the field goal been successful. I firmly believe Reich planned to kickoff deep. A quick defensive stop would have obviously then been necessary, but with a made field goal, a late TD gets you the win instead of just a chance for one in OT.
I’m not saying I agree with Reich’s decision, but calling this the “most foolish field goal ever” seems little more than click-bait and you’re better than that.
The defense for Indy in the first half was really sad, I think you had two fumbles and interception , Tennessee played big defense in the second half when they needed to. The coach on one call did not cost you the game he never should have been in that position. The team put him there and there's no way Tennessee is going to allow anyone to be open anywhere near the end zone in the last play. Suck it up buttercup that's four in a row to Tennessee. One man don't win the game and one man don't lose the game.
I found this series before the season but I'm worried that you're looking for quantity over quality now, now you just post somewhat questionable decisions instead of the WORST ones
According to the title I read, it said FOOLISH not worst. That wording may be a bit over hyped. However, in case you haven't learned about the internet yet, clickbait is thing on UA-cam.
Hyperbolic titles are common for the channel. You should see when he tries to force the past to be woke.
you didn’t watch the game! The kicker messed the last 3kicks up
So I haven't watched the video yet. But I felt that kick the field goal. Onside kick and hope you get it back is smarter than going for it on 4th and 21. Look at jets and browns. In these moments it is shit in one hand and wish in the other.
That decision wasnt actually that bad. His play calling has been horrible and he’s made a ton of bad 4th down decisions, but that wasnt one of them. It was 4th and 25 i believe, no way Matt was going to get time to throw a 25 yard pass in that spot, even of the o-line was playing great, ot would have been an all out blitz. They had three timeouts plus the 2 minute warning, if the defense does its job you get the ball back with about 1:30 to get a go ahead score. This decision is the last thing that would get Frank fired. Your the only person literally Ive heard complain about it.
I hope Frank Reich gets fired. He should have gotten fired after the Jags...in January.
It was only stupid because the clown kicked missed it. Our defense was playing okay in the second half. Who knows maybe we would’ve gotten a stop. I’m shocked we just signed this bum kicker too
I have to disagree here.
I mean the reason they had 4th and 15 as the alternative to the onside kick is because the conversion ratios were about the same.
Issue reallt is you need to rush the kicking team on there and kick on or before 208. Kicking it with 208 means that the next play is at 203 meaning you should get the 2 min warning if you fail the onside kick. if you get 3 and out you get the ball back down 4 or 7 with a timeout.
Don't tell this to all the Monday morning QB's on here.
You get the ball back WHERE down by 4 or 7 with a timeout? As mentioned in the video, after the 3 and out by the Titans, they punt the ball. The Colts then must go the length of the field to score a touchdown. Thank goodness they still have that timeout though.
A Titans three and out by a Colts punt inside the ten is better than a three and out from a missed field goal at the 41 or a failed onside kick on your own 45.
@@pace1195 Let's look at the scenarios and how they might turn out:
Go for it: It was 4th and 21. The probability of converting was slim to none. The best you can hope for is to gain 10+ yards and hope your defense forces a 3 and out. Worse case scenario is an interception or a sack(happened on the previous play) or an incompletion but there's probably a 98% probability you are losing possession of the ball.
Punt: This seems to be the consensus but you're punting from the 33. Sure you can let the play clock run down and go back to the 38 but that isn't much better. A punt from this close has a real good probability of being a touchback and the Titans get the ball at the 20 but the probability of pinning them back inside the 10 from this distance isn't likely even for Ray Guy. Then you have the probability of a bad snap. A block isn't likely as Haack has only had 1 punt blocked in his career.
FG Try: This is what they did. Make it and you're down 4 with over 2 minutes left, the 2 minute warning coming up, and all 3 timeouts. After a kickoff it's more than likely going to be a touchback and be brought to the 25. If you make it, you're down 4 and if your opponent doesn't get a first down you're going to get the ball back with a lot of time left with a chance to win. The worse case scenario is missing, which they did.
In short, there's really no good choice here. Just one slightly better than the other. It's not a dumb decision to try a FG. The dumb decisions were after getting to the 22 yard line and not trying to move the ball forward. The out pass on 2nd down was extremely stupid.
@@Rockhound6165 For the Colts to get the ball back, the Titans must punt or have a very unfortunate turnover unless you control your destiny and go for it.
So, let’s say Titans gain 0 to 9 yards on a 3 and out and punt the NFL average of 45 yards. Where do the Colts start their final drive with at most one time out? Remember the Colts still need a touchdown no matter what.
- Colts punt at or inside the 20. Range: [20+9] 29+45 = Your 26 to 35.
- Colts successful field goal + long kick off touchback at the 25. Range: [25+9] 34+45 = Your 21 to 30.
- Colts incomplete pass on 4th down at the 33. Range: [33+9] 42+45 = Your 13 to 22. Any successful yardage less than a first down is an arm punt.
- Colts 8 yard sack like the last play at the 41. Range: [41+9] 50+45 = Your 5 to 14 (maybe the 20)
- Colts failed field goal at the 41. Range: [41+9] 50+45 = Your 5 to 14 (maybe the 20)
- Colts successful field goal + unsuccessful onside kick at about the Colts 45 to 50. Range: Inside your 20 provided the Titans don’t try a 54 to 63 yard field goal themselves.
- Colts successful field goal + successful onside kick at about the Colts 45 to 50. Field goal attempt with that kicker = 57% (10:29) TIMES successful onside kick = 9.6% (12:04) EQUALS a 5.5% chance of this option working. This option is at least 17 yards farther away from a touchdown with less time and is over 3x less likely than attempting the 4th and 21 at an 18% (8:45) success rate.
So, what is the correct choice: punt, field goal attempt, or go on 4th and 21?
Why does he keep pronouncing TITANS as “tight ends”? Shit had me confused for half the video.
Another dumb decision by the colts
I dont think it's was that bad. He has made worse decisions this year. Kick the FG and let the defense who had been hot at that time of the game. Unfortunately neither the kick or stop happened.
I don’t agree with this being a dumb decision.
