True, they had to be “good enough” to get to where they did.
Of course all this is under the assumption that a tie is half as good as a win.
In an instance where a tie is essentially as bad as a loss the team want to kick at the start of OT. In that case you do go for it on 4th and 8 if a field goal will only tie the game and if the opponents score 7 points on the opening possession you go for 8 (that was a fun game).
That’s usually only going to come up at the end of the season, when you have a pretty clear vision of how your record is going to place you once the playoffs start, but yeah that absolutely can happen. And that does change the formula a lot. In that case, the Colts would absolutely have to go for it on 4th and 8 because they essentially have nothing to lose.
The Rams in this game are really making me thirsty for Nestle Quick.
Most of these guys are playing football but Skattebo is playing Mortal Kombat.
Colts WR Alec Pierce is out multiple weeks after aggravating his heel. Probably out until midseason.
He says he plans to try to rehab it instead of surgery.
Fuck!
