You lose a few sponsors? Meanwhile, I've got the Football Life: The Tuck Rule on while I play my computer, and it's pretty great. Jon Gruden was such a charmer, like a less hillbilly Bill Clinton.

Also, I once got a warning point and a 24 hour ban just prior to the Pats Superbowl win v. Seattle. So yeah, I too... what was that you said? Appologize for ... something smething a fun topic? Yeah... Is sperry going to issue a counterveiling appology or are we just all going to pretend it was a one-way thing? You know in the same way we pretend Rothelesberger is still a good QB and that George RR Martin still likes GoT the series? These are things I need to know. On The Tuck Rule Time Line- Literally DVR'ing it as we speak. Pleae, no spoilers- don't tell me how it ends. I want to be surprised. Maybe this time they'll call Woodson for that blatant illegal shot to the head or somebody who is not a NE fa will admit it wa 100% the correct call. Again, these are things I need to know.

Reminds me of the time on these boards somebody was talking about Downton Abbey and Imentioned World War One and somebody- literally - told me not to spoil the show by making any references to what happened during Wolrd War One... a conflict that ended 100 years ago.

IamMe90 Posted October 8, 2017 Share Posted October 8, 2017 Has anyone done a statistical analysis of the benefits of punt returning vs. fair catching? I swear to God at least more than half of the time there is an illegal block penalty on the returns, and definitely less than half the time is there any kind of significant gain. The Bengals could have just fair caught the ball at the 40 yard line and had great field position, instead they ate a 10 yard loss, and then tacked on an additional 10 yard loss with an illegal block call to start at the ~20.

I'm going to bet it will be easier to subdue that delivery than it will barbarian Africa...especially being stoned. Anyone catch the Bengals fan dump a beer at Brandon Tate after his TD catch? What a waste of $9... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would imagine you're correct here, but to get some in-depth statistical analysis I imagine you'd have to subscribe to one of the paid services like Football Outsiders or the like. Not related directly to punting, but you see a handful of the smarter teams trying to take advantage of this on kickoffs. The Pats for instance have taken to not trying to kick the ball out of the endzone, giving the opposing team the 25 yard touchback. They want you to return it, betting that their special teams can pin you inside the 25 at the very least, and knowing that the return team is likely to commit that block in the back penalty, which is probably going to leave you inside the 10.

IamMe90 Posted October 8, 2017 Share Posted October 8, 2017 Wow Green. That was pretty fuckin' uncharacteristic. Especially after Dalton miffed up the last connection to him and the same result happened. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
