DapperWormMan on January 29, 2026 3:45 pm Yards/Punt must have the wrong title. Those numbers are too low.
Lord_Paddington on January 29, 2026 3:47 pm You should do a go for it on 4th down vs field goal calculation. I feel like a lot of teams have been dumb in the playoffs.
cheeze_whizard on January 29, 2026 4:05 pm What happened circa 2015 that caused the expected points for an extra point to drop and never recover?
juicejug on January 29, 2026 4:06 pm What happened in 2015 to make extra point kicks less consistent? Was there a rule change to push the kicking spot back or something?
SoapyCooper on January 29, 2026 4:08 pm What happened in the late 70s that permanently raised the average passing yards by 60/game?
