quick thoughts on the fucking bullshit raiders game

Reich was asked this question - Why no onside kick? - during his conference call with the media. He stated that since the rule change, the kicking team hardly recovers the ball - only a 7 percent recovery rate.

Reich says the numbers on onside kicks are 7 percent recoveries for kicking team since the new rule.

I was fine with the decision. Sanchez needs a better kick, though. You pin them down around the 10, get a stop, and hopefully get the ball around the 50 with just under a minute left. I think that’s more likely than 7%.

7 percent chance to recover the onside kick vs virtually 0 percent chance that this trash defense gets a stop. Go with the onside kick.

Yeah, well the way the defense was playing, I'll take that 7 percent chance.

The onside kick vs no onside kick was immaterial to this game. OK's were only about a 15% chance before the rule change, half that since.

There's likely about a 7% chance that Derek Carr will fumble the hand off and Houston will fall on it.
