Default Re: Have I Discovered Another Mathematical Football Coaching Error?

david, which team are you talking about scoring an unnecessary TD?

the team that is down by 1? i.e. they score 2 TD's

or the team that is up by 1? i.e. the ball turns over, they score one TD that takes the margin to 8 and clock down near zero

i'd put first at 1-2%... second at 6-7%, given that the losing team hasn't scored. obviously if losing team scores, then it is necessary

but i'm seeing 10% that losing team scores two TD's from own 20 with little time and 2 timeouts. maybe my 1% was too low.
