was the best defense in this situation in the whole league last year.

never ever evaluate on just one game. His QB was on fire on 3rd and long, maybe a great daily form.


Sorry Looked like a complaint post and I forgot that you are an RZA god.

no worries, I broke an important rule, never post frustrated too close to a game

I have tried every possible defense in that situation. The results of the obvious ones over a lot of downs have been pretty close, so I guess I have to live with some conversions.

But 3 in a row still are tough

I felt like these were WAY too common until I crunched some numbers myself.

A lot of it comes down to confirmation bias. They are a bit too high, but not astronomically so.

I wasn't noticing the short completions, the incompletions or interceptions, as they were "expected" against a 3rd and long. When they do convert at a higher rate, it tends to JUMP off the page at you.

I'm sure there are plenty of NFL teams that have days giving up 50% completion rates against GOOD competition on 3rd & long ... they just end up balancing it back out by the Browns or Jaguars going 0 for 10 against them later in the season, to get to that league average.
