Centurion Posted January 6, 2019 Share Posted January 6, 2019 Like the title says. Basically, scenario, defense jumps offsides and you gain 9 on first down. Do you accept the penalty for 1st and 5 and the extra down? Or do you decline for 2nd and 1 for the shorter distance to go? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your avatar is freakin awesome dude I feel like it depends on how confident you are in your team. I think a team with a better offense would rather have 1st and 5 but a weaker team would prefer to be a couple yards farther along and closer to a first down even if it costs them a down Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SBLIII Posted January 6, 2019 Share Posted January 6, 2019 2 and 1 but it's close Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forge Posted January 6, 2019 Share Posted January 6, 2019 I'd love to get some analytics showing which is more likely to keep a driving going. Personally, I'm leaning toward 2 & 1, I feel like an offense is more likely to keep a driving going with 2 chances to get 1 yard as opposed to 3 to get 5, but I could absolutely be wrong.

jrry32 Posted January 6, 2019 Share Posted January 6, 2019 2nd and 1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
x0x Posted January 7, 2019 Share Posted January 7, 2019 I'm sure the stats say it's easier to get a single yard in 2 plays than 5 yards in 3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would be curious about it too. I personally feel 2nd and 1 is better (assuming all things equal with field position, clock management etc). Of course going by typical OC (or at least Jaguars OC), they call run right up the gut using a predictable formation, gets stuffed and gets 3rd and 4 next lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

drew39k Posted January 8, 2019 Share Posted January 8, 2019 I'll take 2nd and 1. Two plays for one yard. Plus I feel like it teases the d to move up in the box creating some opportunities for play action deep balls Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlNFL19 Posted January 8, 2019 Share Posted January 8, 2019 2nd and 1: need 0.5 yards per play. 1st and 5: need 1.667 yards per play. *Assuming a punt on fourth down I'll take 2nd and 1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
areksoo Posted January 8, 2019 Share Posted January 8, 2019 If I'm a pass happy team with no run game and it happens in the redzone, I'd rather have the 1st & 5 to have more room to work with and extra down, but pretty much every other scenario, I'd rather have 2nd & 1.

Danger Posted January 8, 2019 Share Posted January 8, 2019 Depends if you are a better running team or passing team. If your passing game is better go 1st and 5. Running team go 2nd and 1, take a deep shot and then pick up a pretty reliable 3rd and 1 if you don't hit it deep. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jlowe22 Posted January 8, 2019 Share Posted January 8, 2019 2nd and 1 all day. We’d go for it on fourth down anyway. If we can’t get a yard in 3 plays we deserve to punt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
