Don’t settle for FGs so I’m going with 28/game.
Yeah inside the 20yard line I say go for it more than not now, because most Punts/kickoffs are gonna have better advantage with the new rules. Kick a goal inside the 30 - 50( that seems to be Karty's range). If we cant get anywhere and need to flip the field, let Ethan do his thing.
 
As a Rams fan, I wouldn't have him as the best play caller. I would have him as the best head coach.

I think him getting the most out of his teams, taking two different QBs to a Super Bowl, winning one - puts him in a class with really only Reid, Shanahan and Harbaugh (for various reasons).

I think McVay has done more with less and been more impressive as a HC. But I have to admit that I think Shanahan and Reid are both better playcallers than McVay.

Andy Reid... eh the Chiefs have not been so great on offense last couple years.

Reid was never considered great at anything until he got this guy named Mahomes.

I've taken a long time to come around on McVay but boy oh boy am I believer. The last few years really cemented it for me. I thought he got the most out of a team that was not always the best in every position on paper, and showed great affinity for developing young talent and leading teams through real adversity. Easily the 2nd best coach in the NFL IMO and I am so glad we have him. It is hard to argue anyone is better than Andy Reid, in my view. All he does is make Super Bowls. Sure, Mahomes is amazing, but I don't think he is that much better than Stafford or several other elite QBs, and many years recently the AFC has had all the heavy weight contenders. So I don't think you can explain it away due to the QB. And even before that in Philly, he was routinely making the conference final with lesser QBs.
Wow! Holy crap!
I've been waiting YEARS for you to come around, Ontario! Glad you are now firmly on the "believer" bandwagon.

I've always enjoyed your well-reasoned posts. Congrats for having the stones to acknowledge you've changed your mind on a long-held belief.
