Go Hawks!!!

I’m 100% rooting for Sam Darnold,a former NY Jets,and The Seattle Seahawks to beat the New England Patriots. Every one wants to be aggressive these days and not take the easy points. Nobody questions that,in fact,you’re applauded for it if you win.

@Jett129 take the freaking points!!!

I’ll be jaded for at least the next 8-9 months

@Mizmazzle I've alway felt that if The Lions had "Taken the Points" a few year ago, they would have beaten the 49ers in the NFC Championship game,and the way that team was playing,there's a good chance they would've beaten The Chiefs in the SuperBowl that year.

There is no question that loss aversion hampers success in football. It is statistically provable using regression analysis that we punt too much for example. This is rooted in psychology: we fear losing more than we enjoy winning. Behavioral economists have a good handle on this.

That said, the pendulum has swung foo far in the other direction as far as field goals are concerned. In this circumstance in particular, with the momentum Denver had, the way the defense was playing, and with incoming weather, it was just a dumb decision.

All this to say, I really appreciate a coach with the guts to challenge conventional wisdom and overcome biases to do what makes sense. This was not that.

@Oaktavia The new Ravens hc is hiring a really young staff. It’s going to be pretty interesting to see how this shakes out.

@Matt yeah man I am so curious what this season will bring. Hopefully we are in good hands.

Thanks for the share @Jett129 - Josh is great.

I'm looking forward to the Green Bunny collab, which doesn't sound like a Bad Day out
