[QUOTE="orientalnc, post: 749312, member: 1199"] I enjoy the metrics and over an entire season they can be very useful. But, I think the sample size is too small at this point. Also, a fumble at your own 10 yardline is very different from a fumble at midfield. And, a quick 3 & out followed by a 40 yard punt is not very different from an interception 40 yards down field. Both are emotional letdowns for the offense and the defense. The same logic about penalties applies. A false start on 1st down is frequently overcome by a good offensive series. But on third and 5 it changes the play call and the chance of making a first down. The penalties are a product of discipline and practice repetitions. Also, a player who is geting beat by his opponent is more likely to try to gain an advantage my moving more quickly at the snap. The false start penalties seemed to come at just the wrong time Saturday. We are gaining yards a lot easier than last year. That is not our problem. Not finishing drives is just killing us in all three games. Whether it's turnovers, missed/blocked kicks or whatever else, we are not playing with the discipline required on each and every play. I think the elements are there and I refuse to be depressed at this point in the season. [/QUOTE]
