It just so happens they started doing everything they should have been doing the whole game, in the last five minutes. We can't afford to dig ourselves into a hole like that next week or in the playoffs. But whatever, we won, and it was great, because it's not about how you start, it's how you finish!

It was the panic that was hilarious. For a team that has played so well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This forum has some serious PTSD from the 7-9 seasons. I think a lot of guys can't believe that we may actually have a good team again lol.

My dad once made the joke one time that the Rams needed to invest in a better interception return coverage unit if Bulger was your QB. 26 minutes ago, Spartica4Real said: FYI the Redskins had a 99.7% chance to win that game at the stat's highest point. 99.7% chance. 997 out of 1,000 times we lose that game. We won. lol we legit If that’s ESPN, Those stats are crap and only designed to keep people excited for comebacks. I’ve seen a two score game in the 3rd quarter with high 90% for the team with the lead Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dome Posted November 19, 2017 Author Share Posted November 19, 2017 I don’t think it was panic or “sky is falling” as much as people realizing their fears were coming true, this team has a VERY good but VERY thin defense and coming out flat they look no better than years past. Most of what I’m rereading in this thread makes sense considering the context of the game at the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dome Posted November 19, 2017 Author Share Posted November 19, 2017 Quote According to the Elias Sports Bureau, Sunday marked the first time in Saints history that they won a game after trailing by 14-plus points at any point in the fourth quarter (much less with three minutes remaining).

Dome Posted November 19, 2017 Author Share Posted November 19, 2017 Also, Saints are the first team since 1947 Bears to start 0-2 then win 8 in a row. Thats TWO Bears records from the 40’s we’ve broken this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How many teams have been down 14 points in the last three minutes and won the game? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm talking about the stats Spartica quoted. Also, how many teams come back down 14 in the third? Yea it happens, but if 90% was the quoted value, that doesn't seem too crazy either. That's 1 out of ten games a team wins down by 14 in the third. In any case, I'm not saying any of the stats are correct, I have no idea. But I know what we did today is pretty rare. Down 15 actually, which is even worse than 14 due to needing a two point conversion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Down 15 actually, which is even worse than 14 due to needing a two point conversion. What we did today is definitely rare. First time we’ve ever done it, to be certain. I just don’t like most ESPN stats, they’re all skewed to favor exciting football (like their QBR rating is atrocious). Up 14 in the third doesn’t seem that crazy to come back from, certainly not crazy enough have the win percentage in the high 90s as if it was the same (or very similar) as being down 15 with 3 minutes to play. I think they make the percentages higher to make games seem “rare” when they get closer in the 4th. IMO trying to put a percentage on it at all is a asinine. There are far to many variables in football for a type of measurement like that. That said, with 4 minutes left I put the phone in my pocket and clocked in early from my lunch break. I didn’t even give us the 0.3% chance ESPN did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
