Coin Toss???
this is a discussion within the Saints Community Forum; It's a coaching problem. Mickey Looms and Sean Payton need to put their heads together and get on this right away before it's too late....

I heard that stat yesterday and couldn't believe it either. I think they ought to try letting somebody besides Drew call it. He can still be QB but let's bench him from coin-toss duty, LOL, let Chase get some valuable 1st string experience at the coin-toss-calling position, LOL. Or maybe let Sproles try his hand, since he has sorta been the good luck charm for kickstarting the offense so far this year.

Tails never fails...
But yeah I was also surprised when they said during the broadcast that the Saints were 0-10 on the coin toss, and then 0-11 after the OT coin toss. I doubt that they keep stats about such things, but that got me started on wondering how long the biggest losing streak on the coin toss has been or whether the Saints are the unofficial record keepers at present time? Statistically speaking, I guess the probability of going 0-10 is the same as going 10-0 or 5-5, because it is always the same on each individual toss (50%) - although, I have to confess that I'm not entirely sure about that one since statistics and probabilities aren't really my thing. What would be even more interesting is if they always chose the same exact side on their turns and never chose right. |
