Why does Todd Haley hate field goals?
Memo to Haley... it is not the end of the world to settle for 3 points... ESPECIALLY IN A LOW SCORING GAME.
Electing to punt rather than kick a 51 yard field goal and then bypassing the field goal on 4th down near the goal line. It is dumb, border-line reckless game management to not take the points. |

I agree-I like taking a risk once in a while but that call was total horse sh*t!!! Kick the FG.
Bad risk / reward call |

He'll keep making those dumb decisions until he loses a game because of it. I hate it when he does it and I'd even like to know how many possible points have been left on the field this season because of it. He's always said hes going to go for it on 4th down when he's around the 40ish in enemy territory, so he obviously doesnt mind giving the opposing team the ball around there. Then he punts the ball today instead of trying a 51 yard FG? wtf? Later he's up by 7 and goes for it instead of kicking an extra point to make a 2 score game?... Good teams take advantage when given a second chance. Haley is going to have to put aside his ego if/when we get in the playoffs.

Yes, Haley has an unconditional approach to these situations, but, as other posters have mentioned, there is a lot of statistical evidence that suggests he's right. |

Long FG no go doesn't bother me. Long kick...cold hard ball. Doubt he makes it.

Most coaches are far, FAR too conservative, a coach who likes to gamble a little bit is more likely to make the right decision than a coach who is constantly terrified about losing by a couple points.

It looks like the line tracks exactly with yards and to go up to 6. To me, I think the graph is basically saying (unless its to win the game or something) that you should never kick a field goal if you are within the 7 yard line.
