[QUOTE="ChiefGritty, post: 1660830, member: 746137"] Only in weirdo last 30 seconds of half type situations should you even consider punting on 4th and 1 in plus territory. It's not clever, savvy math, it's smack-on-forehead undeniable math. Punting on 4th and 1 in plus territory is the football version of avoiding taking a walk when there's first base open and a runner in scoring position, it's just a plainly incorrect fallacy that gained legitimacy because decades of coaches had bad ideas. Everything was against us there. We absolutely get stuffed and lose the game anyway. Doesn't matter, that was not even close to a close call. [/QUOTE]
