The thing that doesn’t make sense to me is that the Bucs 2 pt percentage was 40%…so doesn’t that make it simple math that Big Cats stance is wrong based on his simple math? Why would you use the league average…? Different offense, different chances…
That's what I said !! Certain teams are not built for 2pt plays. Bucs are not that good down on that side of the field. Also, it felt like a momentum change when they didn't get it.
Big Cat says its simple math like that is the only determining factor in football lol. Will played the game and understands how it all works but he's being told by people who have never played that he is wrong, and that math is the answer to winning a game, not the players or coaches or weather or any other factor that actually mean something in the game. Big Cat is one of my favorite guys at barstool, but he is dead wrong. Glad you stood your ground Will.
@@tqt927what if they fail the first 2 point attempt? Then the team is put in a situation where they not only have to make a stop on defense but they then HAVE to make the next 2 pt attempt or they're left losing by 2 points and looking dumb as hell. I understand analytics say 2 pt attempts are successful 50% of the time but lets not act like what Big Cat is saying is the right thing to do every time the opportunity presents itself. If my team did what the Bucs did last week during a playoff game, I'd lose my shit
@@1neOfN0ne the thing is that it’s for specifically winning in regulation because of the wonky OT rules. Though I will say I wonder if that’s still the case because they changed OT playoff rules so that both teams get a possession, you can’t get screwed out of not having the ball in OT, I wonder if that changes the formula because teams would be more willing to go to OT
Using analytics to decide to go for it and then running a statistically improbable play is exactly willa arguement. He is saying you are doing math but not factoring all variables that make it a good or bad choice to go for it
What analytics don’t take into account are a specific team’s talent, their redzone/goalline package, injuries, flow of the game, etc. I think that’s what Will is saying.
exactly. people think everyone has a 50% chance of converting the two point but in reality this is not the case for many teams when you take matchups into account
WIll is right. If going for 2 is sooooooo great, why don't teams do it every time?? Big Cat lowkey never wrong. Not the easiest guy to have a debate with.
@@paulconaty2538 they both have valid points but the way big cat argues like a weasel in order to never be wrong is outrageous. You sir are an idiot. Don’t tell anyone they should do anything.
Damn BigCats crazy annoying about the going for 2 shit. Bro just keeps calling Will stupid & dumb like relax w that. Analytics obviously make sense & have a place in football but I agree with Will too that vibes wise if you don't get it on the first one then there's SO much pressure if you score again to get that second 2 point conversion. Plus if you get two touchdowns and miss on both 2 pt conversions that coach is going to look like a fucking IDIOT. & I bet most of the player probably agree with Will on this one.
Thats dumb. If you save going for two for just the 2nd touchdown you automatically lose if you dont get it ... If you go for two the 1st time you at least give yourself a chance to still tie it with a 2 point conversion on 2nd TD. So you still win if you get the 2 point conversion on 1st try AND can still tie it on next TD if you fail.
@@alessandroscuderi7300so in the end either you- have a chance to win or tie, or, win or lose and you would pick the ladder? Thats not even mentioning the vast difference in amount of pressure to tie a game with a 2 pt conversion.
Here is an analytic that Big Cat is not taken into consideration. 48.2% of 2pt conversion were successful. That means the majority of the time, a team will fail on a 2pt conversion. You have better odds of calling head or tails on a coin toss than a team converting a 2pt conversion. The play matters a lot because pass plays success rate is 43.4% out of 739 attempts. Run plays have a 61.7% success rate out of 258 attempts.
Imagine playing 10 years in the NFL and a theater kid from Newton, Mass is lecturing you on football strategy because he watches it on the couch 10 hours a day.
I’d give Big Cat 1 million $ if he could explain how he got to this answer… he clearly doesn’t understand the math and is just parroting someone else’s thinking. BC calling Will dumb in this scenario is wild. He himself doesn’t actually understand the math 😂
In Will’s best case scenario you go to overtime. In Big Cat’s best case scenario you win. There’s a bigger chance of losing outright for Big Cat, but also the higher chance of winning outweighs that. Big Cat’s strategy is higher risk but the reward (statistically) outweighs the risk.
I agree with Will. Because you missed the 2point now you NEED another 2point conversion just to tie, if you want to win. Put your balls on the table on the last play TD, don't put yourself in a position to chase
you're chasing regadless, lmao. Who the fuck would go for 2 down by 7 meaning if you don't get it, you lose the game? Some of you don't get it. If I'm down 14 and I make the 2 point play, now I can win the game outright. If I don't make it, I'm still in a position where I can prevent myself of losing the game. This last scenario is the exact one I would be by kicking 2 extra points (That can also be missed by the way). The game is already lost, why would I go for a route that doesn't give me a chance to win it BEFORE OT
I think what 'analytics' doesn't really take into account a certain teams specific talent for such plays. Is your FG kicker good? Is your offensive line beat up to get a 1 yd gain on 4th down. There are so many variables, and alot of depends on situational substitutions.
“People who don’t understand football, analyse with stats” Pressure, momentum, stakes, individual teams (not whole league), timing of the game eg. going for two when fresh vs going for two last play of the game. All not accounted for with season wide stats across a whole league of teams, which say it’s 50/50. And they matter.
I agree with will momentum is a thing failed 2 point conversion hurts the momentum of the td. The teams strengths matter, different if the ravens go for 2 with Lamar than the bucs, have to look at the individual teams chances of going for 2
It's six one way, a half dozen the other. Also, if the other team knows an extra point can now beat them it will change that team's defensive strategy.
Big Cat is claiming to be the smart, math guy, when 2 point conversion attempts are under 50%. Which throws this whole analytics thing out the window. Also then critiques the play call on 2 pt attempt. What if the analytics said throw a fade BC??
I think Will is either not understanding the math on purpose, or he's just too dumb to even be capable of understanding the math. Looks like the game is going to just pass him by.
I hate to do this but big cat is misunderstanding the maths regardless of wills beliefs. If something has a 50% chance of success and you fail the first time , then it doesn’t mean you are more likely to win the next time. If a coin lands on heads 10 times in a row it’s no more likely to land on tails the 11th time than the first. This is a common mistake when people misuse the term probability
17:45 It's funny BC thinks this was scripted. Amon-Ra said on his podcast it was a mistake and wrong personnel. D'Mo was supposed to be in for that play.
Not saying Will is right or wrong, but it is wild that Big Cat could not understand Will’s point. But it does make sense considering Big Cat didn’t play sports. Not an athlete
It's this simple. 50% chance it works favorably (Make 1st XP 2nd) 25% chance it works unfavorably (Miss both) 25% chance you break even (Miss 1st Make 2nd)
No, that's not true at all. You have to factor in the teams and the offense and Defense. Alot of teams struggled in short yardage redzone this year. How many teams can't get in with 3 chances.
@@andrewlee1573 Of course what I said is just a little bit oversimplified. However, historical leaguewide 2 pt conversion rates are about 47.5%. Even if you believe your team will convert at only a 40% success rate and assuming a 100% extra point conversion rate it breaks out like this: 40% chance it works favorably 36% chance it works unfavorably 24% chance break even which means it is STILL in your favor to go for 2
why does nobody take into account that it was a playoff game, if it doesn't work you are OUT - i understand it in the regular season, worst thing that can happen you lose a game you'd probably lose anyway. in the playoffs i figure you'd rather take OT than L
This is dumb. Imagine being down 14 and going for 2 twice and not getting it and losing. Big cat never mentions that all because a couple coaches started trying this method?
Will saying that they lost all the momentum in the failed conversation even thou they forced the punt and got the ball back is the dumbest thing I've heard
Big cat you are wrong… will is right… the analytics doesn’t account for momentum and playoffs is all about momentum… when the buc didn’t get it, everyone knew it was over

Big Cat is wrong on this. Missing that 2 pt sucked the life out of the Bucs offense. Killed the vibe and it’s positive vibes only
Oh fr? You were on the sidelines?
I love how Big Cat acts like he’s the football guy when he’s talking to someone who’s actually played in the NFL lmao

Gamblers like Big Cat see football the same as blackjack, dice or even a coin toss. That’s why analytics make so much sense to them
It's not analytics to go for 2 down 8.

The point of it is to win the game in regulation, not play for the tie. If your goal is to tie, then yes you kick the XP

So to be clear, you want a worse chance to win a game, correct?
100%???
Not at all

Big Cat = never played ball in his life. Does not really know ball.
A failed two-point try does drop momentum, just as a successful one sends momentum through the roof. I've been on both sides.
