Outstanding. Makes me feel a little bit better knowing we are 19-1 in those situations. I def think Andy calls more aggressively in the playoffs in terms of situational football like going for 4th downs instead of settling for fgs
I agree that it's on the coaches. I reviewed the 2015 season after the winning streak started. It always looked like players started making more mistakes when they had the lead. I've always kind of assumed that as a player's coach, Andy's style allows for a natural drop in focus. If I am correct, we will have to live with closer games than we want. Andy wins these games because he is an excellent coach (however, some of his in-game decisions can be maddening) who has his team ready to play almost every week.

Great analysis!
One note: it looks like your x- and y-axis are reversed in your text vs. the scatter plot (y-axis is win percentage in the scatter plot).
They are, for sure! Thanks for letting me know. Working to get that corrected.
