I know I'm in the minority, but this is why I don't like the onside kick - just adds a pure luckbox factor.

Please. The Bills played that onside kick terribly.

[/ QUOTE ]

It's a coin flip across the league.

[/ QUOTE ]

Onside kicks are most certainly not 'coin flips!'

[/ QUOTE ]

You're saying some teams only allow like 20% of onsides to be recovered and some like 80%?

[/ QUOTE ]

For [censored]'s sake, the average successful onside kick rate has got to be in the twenties if not the teens. That's why it's a desperation / trick play.

[/ QUOTE ]

I've heard 50-50 for years - hence the coinflip reference.

[/ QUOTE ]

Well, that is asinine, and you should be able to see that clearly. If the league average was 50% you'd see teams that rarely if ever kicked it deep.
