I don’t think it’s very data driven. Funky comes up with a lot of hot takes and Seth parrots them. The “data” is reverse engineered IMO…

Which is very easy to do when you watch a play and then assign points based on your perception of what happened on that play.

- used to feel excited for this but now there are so many more better options. Better analysis without the cringe* - By Poster P August 17, 2026 at 11:32:32 AM
- Yeah, I let out a little giggle of happiness when it hit my feed. - By GritsGoBlue August 17, 2026 at 10:15:58 AM
  - I like the shitty cliche idea. We should have a spot to put them.* - By jonpc August 17, 2026 at 12:54:52 PM
  - I've always thought that cliche is the result of an inconclusive thought process - By jon August 17, 2026 at 10:33:53 AM
    - My defense of it would be that any play is harder inside the 10 and QB pressure is likely coming more quickly. - By LewisBullox August 17, 2026 at 10:55:39 AM
      - Yeah, the compression of the D makes every play harder to run. I guess you have to weigh… - By Craig August 17, 2026 at 11:08:26 AM
        
        Right, the field is compressed regardless, so what are the best calls given that constraint. - By LewisBullox August 17, 2026 at 11:17:30 AM

    - Totally agree. I mean I do appreciate their work but you have to see through the agenda, at times... - By Rich August 17, 2026 at 12:29:10 PM
  - Surprise meter at 0 that you are a fan of their writing style. My issue isn’t that they have an opinion, it is that they think they know more about football than coaches and can evaluate players better. Taking their stuff as anything other than superfan stuff is ridiculous.* - By MasterBates August 17, 2026 at 11:25:28 AM
- Listening now. Thanks!* - By AuntLilly August 17, 2026 at 08:42:44 AM
