Analytics says its just as easy to get a yard on the first snap of the game or a tight game on 4th and 1 in the 4th quarter. doesnt account for momentum shifts, causes you to chase points. Not playing to your strengths especially since 70 percent of the NFL doesn't have a fullback.
It doesn't account for momentum shifts because they don't have an effect on the game. That's already been studied, and there was no performance increase across the board as far 'momentum' defining plays. I do believe momentum exists, it is a feeling, a confidence, but it doesn't have a measurable impact on the game. Your first point is spot on, though, analytics doesn't tell the whole story. It is simply a tool.
