Bad Coaching Thread: Matt Eberflus canned like chunk light tuna
Here's the last line from the box score of yesterday's Loiusville - Kentucky game.
UK TD 0:28
STEVE JOHNSON 57 YD PASS FROM ANDRE' WOODSON
(LONES SEIBER KICK)
Drive info: 8 plays, 74 yards.
UL 34 UK 40
FWIW graded bets typically report away score before home score.
1. 4th and 15 at KC 36, down 19 10:00, Tomlin elects to go for 1st down instead of kicking FG. Play turns into false start, 4th and 20 fail.
2. 4th and 2 at PIT 25(?) down 19 6:00 (3 TOs), Tomlin elects to punt.
#1 could be a go with a decent mobile QB but their chances of getting 1st down there are almost certainly < 10% . I don't know the b/e success rate that makes it a go, but assuming Boswell is 75% there I'd put it around 20%. Basically down 16 means you only need 2 scoring drives. Failing on 4th down means you need 3 scoring drives when you are getting the ball back with around 6:00. And even if you hit the 10% 1st down you still have 20 yards to get a TD.
#2 is just plain dumb.
This should be fire-able.
