he needs to find a good middle ground and be very situational about it (end of the half, etc.), but overall he is heading in the right direction (IMHO).

this game showed the downside of FG's = 15 points with 4 drives inside their 35 yard line (3 FG's and one TD). so you are damned if you do, and damned if you don't.
i still like that our coach is on progressive side of the analytics. this is going to benefit us down the road.

I'm all for going in 4th down right now. That's good experience on learning to win the game and not to lose. This 4th down experience will grow them balls.

The data that you do use is of a different time, place & situation.
Pretending that you can assign an exact percentage to a successful outcome is nuts.
Remember when the Steelers, with a tiny lead near the end of the game, went for it on 4rth down in San Diego in 2009?
Charger injuries made it so that they couldn't stop the run.
