Re: Interesting stat, you interpret

To follow up on my post on the Titans/Cowboys game... the Skins had 1 INT on a last second Hail Mary, that really doesn't count in my book, and the Packers had 1 INT, 1 Fumble lost and to me the 4th down stop at the 1 yard line counts as a turnover in my book. So the Skins were +1 in turnovers, but the 4th down stop makes them +2 based on how I count. Forget yards, unless the turnover ratio is even.

That Hail Mary INT could have been deadly though, run back 64 yards and TW got hurt on the play

Tell me your heart wasn't in your throat on that return. I hope next time in a similar situation they'll just have McNabb take a knee.

I think when you're given an opportunity to win the game you have to take it. Any penalty there gives us a high percentage chance to kick a winning field goal.

That was such an idiotic play. And basically he threw it into a whole bunch of Green Bay players, there were no Redskins within 5-10 yards of where the ball landed.

The Hail Mary is soooo used up! I would love to have some stats on the percentages in the last 10 years or so that it has worked, verses incompleted, verses INT. I think its kind of a waste. I don't think I ever seen a pass interference called on a Hail Mary when you have 5-7 guys jumping for a ball, its just not going to get called. It just makes your QB's rating go down.
