the fake punt

I'd love to know how they came to that conclusion. How often does that even happen?

 

Even the guy who posted this admitted the conclusion could be misleading due to the small sample size, less than 30 attempts. I'm surprised a data analyst even bothered with a sample size that small. He should know better.

By the way, you have to find the original link to see where he admits that. I found that here.

 

Punts involve Kuntz

 

Your question tells me you don't even understand analytics.

 

I didn't ask for clarification. I asked him to show his work and he did. Clearly, based on your subsequent posts, you could have used some help.

 

I know enough to realize that small sample sizes affect the viability of analysis. I know it is always fair to ask for a look under the hood at the method of analysis being used. Statistics may seem objective, but there is subjectivity in which data is chosen.

 

I understood your sarcasm just fine, but there was an implication that his post should have been the end. That is the root of my question. Apparently, you didn't follow.

 

I see Dan Quinn used analytics for that nice stupid decision to lose last night. LoL. Within field goal range....went for it on 4-2. LoL. Using analytics.....that didn't include the bad ribs on his Qb(pain), or the feeling of what a team feels driving the ball down the field, and coming away with nothing, but Hey .....He was bold. LoL

 

No, thank you, but it may be time for you to learn to treat other posters with respect. I have put a genuine effort into doing so. It would be great if you did the same. Thank you.

 

i am going to look to retract my thread!

 

Too late. LoL

 

You aren't just disrespecting the posters you are rude to on this board. You are disrespecting everyone who has to deal with threads being sidetracked by your nonsense. This was the premise when I was asked to clean up my act, which I have been doing. I'm not treating you with respect because I think you deserve it. I'm doing it for others. Perhaps you should think about that before your next response.

 

If he used analytics, he would have kicked the FG....

 

Your unnecessary attack on me from a random quote is not respectful fortunately I am forgiving

And I accept your apology

But thank you for sharing the fact you got spanked by mom and dad

That should be the first step in your recovery to being a good poster

Next step is to not always have to get the last word in

Work harder and prosper I wish you well as you face your challenges

Go Steelers

Bye and moving forward

 

Well He sure was bold...., and I didn't need analytics to tell me He needed to kick a field goal. I guess the Younger generation needs this stuff written down.

 

I did not attack you. Please don't make things up to justify your behavior. I'm not going to let that inaccurate response stand without a reply, but you are more than welcome to show us you don't need to get the last word in by not replying to this post. I see you have no interest in treating other posters with respect. I do not find that surprising, but it is disappointing.

But yes, go Steelers.
