Default Re: Assani vs the StatHeads: Evaluating NFL QBs

[ QUOTE ]
To put it another way, if opponents never tired and games were 100 quarters rather than 4, the patriots would never lose this year, whereas if games were only 5 minutes long the patriots would prolly only win 11 games. These are extreme examples, but the point still holds true, if you're the better team you'd prefer a high number of possessions unless your team is really bad at playing quickly.

This is simply not true. Regardlesss of who's the better team, you still want the game to end with as few posessions as possible once you have the lead, especially if the lead is more than 1 score. The Titans ball control style has more to do with the game situations than their confidence in Vince.
