[@IAmPorkchop]

@@maxb5201 A read option has a tackle that does not block the defensive end. QB and RB go to the right side, offense lets defense end slip while everyone else is blocking. When the slipped defense comes around the end, the QB has the option to hand off to the RB, or in some cases keep if the slipped defender takes to the RB like they usually will, the QB keeps it and runs around the Collison. So, in theory, the offense creates a hallway with two doors, and if one is locked, the other gets walked in.

[@billlupin8345]

Statistically, you're better off judging the play on a case by case basis. If you're on the 12, and only have a few yards to go for a first, you should go. If the first is out of reach, THEN you punt.

[@fletchermaxwell]

@@billlupin8345 Agree on it being a case-by-case basis, but there's way more to it than that. It's the likelihood of getting it, considering the situation you'll be in if you get it, and the situation you'll be in if you don't. If you have a 66%, or 2/3 chance of getting it, and you're on the 12, then you're essentially risking three points automatically if you don't get it, plus a good chance of giving up a touchdown, along with the hit to morale and confidence, for a solidly good chance of getting first and 10 around your own 15. Odds are in your favor, like if you roll a die and win so long as it doesn't come up on 5 or 6, you're probably going to win; it's probably going to be 1-4; but even with good odds that's not probably not a bet you want to make. I think the problem is that people get attached to the ball when they have it, like it's their ball, and they don't want to give up what belongs to them if they don't have to, but that's an unhelpful way of thinking of it.

[@billlupin8345]

@@fletchermaxwell No, there's really not much more to it. You judge each play on a case by case basis. If you think the odds of pushing that last yard or so are that low, you should judge accordingly. It can also be demoralizing on the other end. If you march them from one end of the field to the other 3 yards at a time, it teaches them their best efforts only slow the steamroll.

[@fletchermaxwell]

@@billlupin8345 Pretty hard disagree. If somebody offers you a chance to make a bet with 80% odds that you'll win, you still need to know what you're risking and what you'll get if you win.

[@JKSSubstandard]

This is actually based on real life. I forget where, but a few years ago there was a high school coach that ran a team that NEVER punted. He actually saw some measure of success. To the point that several more analytical NFL HCs have started increasing their 4th down attempts. Sean Mcdermott in Buffalo has made it a habit of going for it once hes past his own 40 on a somewhat regular basis. And its worked

[@codyarmstrong8428]

I feel like the statistics are right, but it is still dependent on where you are on the field. For example, it would be great to go for it anywhere from the 50 yard line or further, since that's likely where a punt return would be anyway, whereas if you're on the 12 like they were, it's not the best gamble to take unless you have no choice. Just my opinion.

[@JakeHammerHTX]

Several real life highschool teams have mostly stopped punting, it’s just about mixing in more fourth down attempts to increase your odds but punting is obviously still needed in some situations

[@wyattdoodat]

They never said 4th and...what? 4th and 1, OK, but 4th and 10 - crazy, especially from their own 12. They were extremely lucky - twice.

Just because you statistically have a greater chance of getting a first down isn’t as important as where the line of scrimmage is. So what if you have a greater than 50% chance of getting the first down. If you miss, the other team only has to go 12 yards to score.

[@theevilascotcompany9255]

Sadly, while this worked out in sitcom land, little Sheldon fails to grasp the effect of selection bias on statistical analysis. While a disproportionate number of 4th down gambles succeed, it is the choice of the coaches in the sample population to only gamble in favourable conditions (i.e., 4th and 1) that skews results toward the positive. If gamble plays were called in a random sampling of all possible 4th down situations, including 4th and 12/long, then the results would be far different.

[@kokukokubin6092]

But that would require the writers to understand correlation does not equal causation.

[@Youtube_Stole_My_Handle_Too]

That's not the main takeaway from this. When you're in a disadvantaged position you are better off playing with greater risk - assuming you can afford the possible loss (which is not really an important restriction in this case because it's something as innocent as football) . Most coaches don't follow this reasoning because they are afraid of criticism from their own. They are probably too stupid to explain to their own it doesn't matter with how much one lose. This lack of reasoning infects all parts on society, even in courts. Far too often does the defendant play the innocent card in a murder case even when the available evidence have shown to be more than enough for conviction. In many cases it would be wiser to argue that the victim deserved to die. Our society is sick today because it has unlimited patience with small offences, but no patience with a huge one. Society today is simply too stupid to do simple addition.

[@guybuckridge7326]

@@kokukokubin6092 That is not his failing at all, it was his poor understanding of the game and the math of statistics (writers fault obviously). Other wise his data would have been complete and his results far more complicated. It would have been impossible to not to wind up with a cheat sheet with 4th down distance, field position, score, clock... all of it. And that's just the base level, in a real game the coach has to weigh everything with team dynamics: do I trust in my defense more or my offense? How do they compare against today's opponent? Is the weather a factor? What about special teams? You get the idea.

As an English person who has ZERO idea about the fundamental rules of American Football, but who HAS played some American Football video games in the past, I always "went for it" on 4th down (usually with a 'Hail Mary', because that was one of the few offensive plays I actually understood lol). I mean, why would I want to kick the ball to the other team? I ain't giving that ball up unless I absolutely HAVE to!

[@SendarSlayer]

That's my thought process too. You can reset if you manage to run less than 10 metres. Less if you've already made a little ground. If you focused your team on making those plays work surely you'd make more downs (Is that what they're called?) overall as well.

It's not just going for it on 4th down. It's treating every new set of downs as 4 downs, not 3 then a punt. That's why the numbers are how showbwhat they do, Doesn't mean it would work in the NFL tho. Also the vast difference in quality and development of players at the stage of play.

[@ottokarl5427]

Actually, it is easier to pull something off in amateur leagues that wouldn't work in pro play, because younger/amateur players tend to copy starts. For example (and I say this coming from an esports backround, easier to explain, sorry for that): Certain tactics don't work on pro players, so they never get used in pro play. Chances are to slim and/or the execution is too hard. But when you execute it right in amateur play, other amateurs usually don't know how to defend against it, because they have never seen their favorite players or teams defend against it.

@@ottokarl5427 False. The Eagles did it a lot, very very successfully.

Given how teams in the NFL are frequently not punting on 4th down this year, I wonder how many coaches are fans of this show.

[@leannestrong1000]

If I were George, I would have just told that other coach that Sheldon says they are better off going for it.

I like the booyah from Merry for sheldon

[@TheMidnightGhostg0000]

This is why so many NFL Teams go for it on 4th down

[@evenios2831]

i might have to see this sounds a LOT better then the actual big bang show lol

[@garylaajala9461]

Currently, there is a phenomenon in the NFL relating to "going for it" on 4th down that you may notice has similarities to this particular episode. That GOF does seem to work for Dan Campbell! This Young Sheldon episode predates the Lion's new strategy. Did he/they see that episode? 😂

[@Dazlidorne]

I love how this is the strategy now that computers are being used in sports.

[@patpat8727]

Not to that extreme, but yes.
