When he goes for it on his own 30. The clock math is as much a factor as the possession and possible points.
Think back to when the vikings lost to detroit.
If koc had gone for it on 4th down and not made it. Detroit goes ahead with the td, and leaves the vikings enough time to take the lead back and run the clock out.
Ill take campbells game management, considering the offense he has, over the game management Koc used in the week 6 loss to the lions. Late in games. When youre in a shootout. Depending upon thevtime left. Its often in your teams interest to give the opponent the short field as the worst case scenario of not getting the 4th down conversion. It also gives your defense more rest. Puts their defense back in the field quicker.
Im NOT an analytics guy. But i do believe in managingbthe clock long term. AND playing to win instead of crossing your fingers/ trying to hang on. Players love beingbtold- "Go out andvtake ut from them". Rules being what they are. Its much harder to accomplish that with defense.... Making a los controlling o-line allbthat much more necessary.
Lol- it always circles back to the interior line with me. The 4 best in the nfl are in detroit, KC, buffalo & Philly. No coincidence thats the most likely conference champ teams. 1 of those 4 is partying hard 2nd sunday night this february!
Just in time for fat tuesday🎉🤪🎉
