Here's the problem with Sharp's premise - the crews are completely different for the playoffs than in the regular season. Using reg. season stats with different crews to imply this is the upcoming result for this ref crew is really, really, really flawed reasoning by Sharp. His star has fallen a long ways from his peak days with innovative data analysis. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His star has fallen a long ways from his peak days with innovative data analysis. How often do crews change year-to-year? Cause doing some digging, apparently over the last 4 years, Smith’s crews have been pretty neutral with home-road splits with every call except DPI, which is like 65% against home teams. If he’s had the same back judge all those years, that’s probably a dude worth looking into by the league. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Year-to-year, they're pretty much the same in the regular season. For the playoffs, the league assembles all-star crews. Again, 17-26 isn't that wild of a difference, but to use regular season data for your regular crew and then use it to infer playoff game bias, when it's a totally different crew, is incredibly flawed logic. Sharp is rightfully getting skewered by data guys on the math analysis alone; they don't even get to the point we're talking apples to oranges here. Only total casual / click-bait ppl like Kleiman are taking off with this. Edited January 24 by Broncofan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Broncofan Posted January 25 Share Posted January 25 (edited) This was after news of Fangio parting ways. Guess he wasn’t a fan lol. This is a theme from Fangio last days at Denver. FWIW it doesn’t sound like it was just Holland either. Rosenhaus reps 6 MIA guys (not Holland) NGL his dad’s answer made me chuckle lol. It’s too bad MIA & PHI played each other this year a rematch would have been spicy. Edited January 25 by Broncofan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
broncos_fan _from _uk Posted January 29 Share Posted January 29 Lamar shows once again that his limitations as a passer make him a regular season darling/postseason detriment. My moneys on the blame going to Monken for the game he had to call to maximize Lamar. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exceptional coaches, but they want to do it without an exceptional QB. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Broncofan Posted January 29 Share Posted January 29 (edited) It got missed between the bad ref call on their T eligible sub error vs. DAL but Dan Campbell once again showed the difference between being aggressive and being reckless. His decision to go against the FG not once but twice changed that game, and then going with the run on 3rd down trailing 10 to burn a TO was beyond mind boggling (and Campbell def has input on this). I know the metrics slightly favored FG but knowing the game flow passing it up 2x (just like trying to score a 2-pt conversion 3x lol) you have to know your limits. To call run and be forced to use TO on the last drive was just the cherry on top of the one of the all time worst game management decisions. After going for a 2-pt conversion 3x in a row vs DAL, you’d think he learned about limits to aggression…but nope. SMH poor Lions fans deserved better. You never know when your next shot at the crown comes. Edited January 29 by Broncofan 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t think Quinn would have been as inept as Hackett - I mean even Mac and Vance looked at Hackett and had to think “damn that’s a bad HC” - but I’m not sure Quinn would have been light years better either. I’ve mentioned it then, I’ll say it now, yeah there might be some “run through the wall for…” traits Quinn has but ultimately I see a guy who in his one stint as a HC the only success came with Kyle & Co. running the offense with an established QB and during his two successful DC stints he has had rosters with a lot of all-world talent. Maybe the “retread” thing will work - and with Quinn, it appears Washington will provide the proof - and it’s worked before with many, many coaches. But I remain skeptical. He has been passed over year after year but who knows. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has been passed over year after year but who knows. Quinn's biggest flaw was his game management - it's hard to know if it's better. But man, there's about a 0 percent chance he would have been as bad as Hackett. Maybe it doesn't get us any further, but it's hard to think anyone is as incompetent as Hackett and his cronies were. It looks more likely he'll get the WAS gig (he has to be a frontrunner in a meh crowd that's left) - guess we'll find out soon enough. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
broncos_fan _from _uk Posted February 3 Share Posted February 3 What are your thoughts on the HC cycle this year? It’s no secret the last 2 years Dan Quinn and Raheem Morris were at the top of my list for the broncos. I think they landed in the best spots for them as well. think in 5 years they will be considered thusly: Home Run (multiple deep playoff runs): Los Angeles Chargers - Jim Harbaugh Atlanta Falcons - Raheem Morris Washington Commanders - Dan Quinn Solid Hire (always competing for a playoff spot): Seattle Seahawks - Mike Macdonald Tennessee Titans - Brian Callahan Still there but on the hot seat: Las Vegas Raiders - Antonio Pierce Already fired: Carolina Panthers - Dave Canales New England Patriots - Jerod Mayo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
