When Bernard gets 20 touches
#14
Stats like this are interesting, but ultimately have no bearing on the gameplan.

It's like those stats that say if you run it 25+ times, you win 80% of the time. People take them and say "well, then you need to call at least 25 run plays a game to raise our chances of winning!"

A Classic case of correlation being confused for causality. In reality, the reason you win 80% of the games in which you run the ball 25 times or more is because running the ball is something you do when you have the lead and are trying to burn clock.

So by running it 25 times or more, you are likely already ahead in those games, meaning the 20% of the time you lose is actually a situation where you had the lead and choked it away despite trying to run the clock out by running the ball 25+ times.
