and as far as Lombardi and his expertise…he said advanced stats no saying from where.. so assuming what it was then calling some a lier is chicken s**t.
NC does it to himself, he deflects and moves goalposts so much that we all end up debating about something completely different.
You guys all seem to be arguing something different which happens when 1 person is fending off multiple posters.
He's saying that the play calling didn't help the QB or OL. you guys don't seem to be disputing that. You are focused on why the coach can be blamed for 1st and 2nd downs and the QB gets credit on 3rd downs.
While also disputing if advanced stats(or whatever) is coming from PFF or another site (no bearings on initial QB or OL point) or if it's an opinion or facts based off of stats ( again no bearing on initial QB or OL point). So that is off topic.
I for one too am curious as to why NC believes this. I say that not listening to that podcast nor wanting to. As when I go to te play by play I only see 1 3rd and long in the 1st half and that was due in part to delay of game on 2nd down. 3rd quarter was one 3rd and long due to naked boot that KM blew up. The 4th quarter is where they become abundant. 1 due to holding penalty. The rest due to Kyle puckering up with a lead in the 4th.
