The search for the saddest punt in the world | Chart Party
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 18 фев 2019
- To punt is to give up, and in the 21st century, NFL teams have given up nearly 50,000 times. Most of those punts were reasonable decisions. But a few were so cowardly, and in such defiance of all reason, that they must not be forgotten. In this episode of Chart Party, it’s our mission to find them.
CORRECTIONS:
3:43 - I misread this line. The rule was changed prior to the 2016 season.
6:08 - Fig. 2 lists 46,290 punts as opposed to the 46,377 punts claimed by the original chart -- a discrepancy of 87. The higher number was found through the Pro-Football-Reference.com Play Index, which is highly accurate but not completely perfect -- for example, it classified a few plays as punts that were actually passes. I manually removed as many as I could find, especially the outliers, but there are still a few hiding in there. The lower number was found by the listed NFL season totals. Since I also found the touchdowns, field goals, et al. in this manner, I decided to leave the punts total intact so as to keep the ratio consistent.
8:39 - Specifically at the opponent’s 25-yard line, you’ll notice that there’s a significant decline in the green “go for it” total. This data was found through Pro-Football-Reference’s Game Play Finder. Since this tool only returns 500 plays at a time, I had to pull the 46,000-plus punts through a series of smaller searches. This gave me just 39 “go for it”s at the opponent’s 25; however, if I ran the search in a different sequence, it gave me a more expected total of 111. For reasons I can’t explain, this discrepancy only shows up exactly at the opponent’s 25. Rather than patching in this total, I decided to leave the chart as is so as to preserve its consistency, but the actual total is likely closer to 111 than 39. The Game Play Finder is like an F1 car: it’s very powerful, but it has to be handled very carefully.
9:45 - This was Hekker’s gross punting average. I probably should have used his net punting average instead, which is closer to 40 than 45.8.
10:50 - A bit of a miscalculation on my part. In the 21st century overtimes have occurred once every 539 games, not once every 483 games.
12:00 - We believe there’s an error in the play-by-play report. This play likely occurred near the beginning of the fourth quarter, not the end of the third.
31:01 - The third Dolphins drive is slightly misplaced; it’s a few yards off from where it should be.
36:07 - These two field goal attempts are shown in the wrong order. The Steelers’ attempt should be on the left side of the screen, and the Falcons’ on the right.
36:19 - This chart title should read, “with five or fewer seconds left in the half or game.” Plays at the end of the second quarter were included in this sample. Additionally, hail marys as defined here are even more rare than I claimed: four plays found their way into the sample that were actually turnovers that resulted in touchdowns in the other direction. Hail mary touchdowns are actually 12-for-780 in this sample, not 16-for-780.
39:08 - I misspoke. These two punts came on fourth and 11, not fourth and 13.
40:31 - I can't believe I did this. The Bills are not Buffalo's only major pro sports team. I forgot about the NHL's own Buffalo Sabres. Sincere apologies.

“Well, obviously they lost. And then they came out of absolutely nowhere to win their next ten games.”
What a quote
"And then they got to the super bowl and then won the super bowl"
I wasn’t following football yet (I’m still technically not lmao, but the knowledge I’ve gained from watching Jon’s videos have made it more fun for me when my mom watches the games) but I remember what a wild and wacky year that was to be a Ravens fan (or around Ravens fans). The slow-starting season quickly became thrilling because the defense was just that OP, people were shouting “DEEEEEEE-FENSE!” at every game (I even saw a guy holding up two paper cutouts of the letter D and a picket fence, I appreciated the pun), my mom got a Ray Lewis jersey, and I distinctly remember hanging out in my mom’s friend’s basement during the Super Bowl. I played Tetris on my Gameboy Color, ate food, and wrote stories in my notebook as everyone around me yelled with joy. At the time I thought it was too loud and smoky down there, but thanks to rosy retrospection, it’s now a fond memory 😄

I like how with most of these it's "Why did they not try the field goal?" or "Why did they not go for it?" - but with the number 1 spot it's literally "Why didn't they do *anything* else?"
It's the Vikings. They are perpetually inexplicable.
@@DoctorNovakainechildress deserves a lot of blame, a coach so bad he couldn’t take a favre playing better then ever anywhere
@@Butterratbee They were actually 7th just a year or two ago.
But that's part of 'perpetually inexplicable'. They are a team that has historically been among the better teams of the league but bafflingly incapable of finishing the deal. They have a couple of the most successful teams never to make it to a Super Bowl. 9th in all-time win percentage but haven't been to a Super Bowl in over 50 years (the only team who's even been to one with a longer drought is the Jets, and they're 27th in all-time win percentage). And while one-score games appear to be their preferred flavor recently, they've had more than their share of weird game results even before that. I've been watching them for over a quarter century at this point, I feel fairly confident that 'perpetually inexplicable' isn't just because of the last few years.
Though, I'm not going to argue against Childress being an awful coach. (One of the worst ever? People who know more bad coaches than I do might disagree, but I'm not knowledgable enough for that.)
@@DoctorNovakaineMy dad always said that Childress played not to lose instead of playing to win. Dude was allergic to downside
@@DoctorNovakaine didn't this channel make a Dorktown about exactly this?

During week 1 of 2022, the Houston Texans punted with 1:01 left in overtime, at 4th and 3, on their opponent's 49, while they were tied with the opponent. According to my calculations, this results in a surrender index score of 358.06, which ranks 5th all-time in the surrender index.
I thought it'd be on there myself! At least they got the tie anyway...

@@JonathanPoto I didn't even see the comment section until after.
He punts but he wins. He wins way more than he punts, but he still punts. -Jon "Chappelle" Bois
September 19th, 2021, we bore witness to the single most cowardly punt in the 21st century. Texans have the ball against the Browns, early in the 2nd quarter, with the scored tied 7-7. It's 3rd and 15 on the HOU 38, and the Texans gain 13 yards. However, Browns are caught offsides, so a decision must be made. Do you accept the penalty, making it 3rd and 10, and get another shot at a first down? Or do you decline the penalty, make it 4th and 2 at midfield, and go for it on 4th?
Texans end up declining the penalty and punt, resulting in a touchback. It was essentially a punt on 3rd down, something that actually broke the surrender index. It was a decision so gutless and cowardly that math can't describe it's scope.
Here's another good question football wise. What is the last team to lose all but one of their games on the final two minutes or the final play?
The 2021 Minnesota Vikings are probably going to make the playoffs. They have a 7-7 record. Of their seven losses, six of them have occurred by blowing 4th quarter leads in the last 2 minutes, or on overtime losses. That has got to be some kind of record. For a team to have all but one of its losses for an entire season be on the final play.
@@paysonfox88 and somehow at least one of their wins has occurred in the same manner but opposite. those poor, poor lions..
@@paysonfox88 it's a record for the 17 game era at the very least.
What's the correct SI score?
@@austinfletchermusic
Field position: 2.59 (50)
Distance to 1st: 0.8 (4th and 2)
Score: 2.0 (tied)
Clock: 1.0 (1st half)
SI score: 4.15
In the Surrender Index calculation, I found the greatest value for a punt with these characteristics:
4th and Goal at the opponent 1-yard-line, 1 second left in overtime, down by three points.
That returns a score of 1,625,631 points.
I don’t really think punting would be possible there
@@evankenny8623 in that case, it would be better for the offense if the defense blocked the punt.
My (new) NFL coach bucket list:
1. Have a game where the opponent scores 1 point (scorigami)
2. Punt at that moment
@@evankenny8623 Practically, no. Legally, yes.
@@u121386 might catch ‘em off guard like when Nebraska beat Texas with a quick kick in ‘07
When the first chart is a 3d representation of every punt of the last 18 years, you know you're in for a good one
My high school football coach on 4th and 1 or less: "If y'all can't gain one yard, y'all don't deserve to win."
He wasn't wrong
DEF Coach: If you can't make ten yards in three downs. What make you think you can do it in four downs.
@@Dularr Because the 3rd down play often results in a very gainable 4th and 1 or 2. That logic doesn’t check out.
@@patrick-xu1go Sure it does. Depends on what type of game you are playing. Plus you have to look at the numbers. If you punt from mid-field you have a high percentage of pining the other team within their 20 yard line. Assuming you have a good defense, you have a higher percentage of stopping them from scoring if they are pinned back vs. getting the ball at mid-field. Forcing them to put will give you a fresh set of downs. With the possibility of improved field position.
Of course I understand the always go for it on fourth down approach. You are playing a shoot out, with the goal that your team will score more points than the other team. Where I am the defense mindset. My goal is to stop you at your 4 and 2 at mid-field. Giving it to my offense at mid-field. If I don't stop the fourth down, oh well, I will stop you again.
@@Dularr That’s completely different from you saying that you’re not likely to convert 4th down just because you didn’t get the first down in 3 plays
Hard to belive a superbowl team went 57 drives without a touchdown... a testament to the 2000 Ravens Defense
Such a shame the NFL has essentially legislated away the ability for a team to win with defense
dude fr because the most fun football games are where literally nobody ever scores :skull:

Soon as i heard that i went straight to the comments thanks for addressing the obvious so i didnt have to lol smfh he must not think the NHL is a pro sport.

Yes but honestly, I'd rather have more frequent chart parties than a long one. Could've gotten 3 chart parties out of this instead of the long drought. Nice experiment but give me consistency.
Its what dreams are made of
crazy looking back at this era when Jon making long videos was new
I know for a fact that one day, Jon decided that "I think we are going to punt on this one..." would make a great punchline to joke, and then made a 1 hour video to build up to it
35:09 - it's probably much worse than a coin flip, Heinz Field was notoriously hard to make long field goals in due to open airflow from the ends of the stadium and terrible natural-grass surface. The longest field goal ever made there was 52 yards until 2016, his was from 51 in 2002 and would have broken the record at the time.

Nice profile picture.
Worth pointing out that the opening example where they punted every possession was against the LOB Seahawks, arguably one of the three greatest defenses of all time. As fearful as the Bears were that day, there are few defenses in history that such craven acts would be more justifiable against.
A 54 minute documentary about punting... Chart Party makes everything sound exciting
I cant believe I watched the whole thing. Totally worth it
Watched the whole damn thing too
I'm a high school and college football line judge. We are absolutely "taught" (told) to put the ball on a "big" line, a 5 or 10 yard marking if we can. It makes it easier for everyone to see where the line to gain is
Huh?!
within what kinda limits? what're the margins??
Makes sense. It’s entertainment after all.
@@lostalone9320 Yes. If given the choice to mark it on the 44 yard line or the 45 yard line, put it on the 45 if you can. Makes the chains easier to spot, keeps the game going, makes the first down line to be on the other 45 yard line and easy to see, etc.
@@connordemorest6750 I gotta say, I've long found it pretty absurd that in the multi-billion dollar, ultra-high stakes NFL in the year 2022 (and even Div I College football), they still use line judges to spot the ball. I mean, they're essentially just relying on the eyesight of old men to place the ball arbitrarily based on where they "think" they saw it when the player went down - viewing angle be damned. All just to make things "easier"?
Football is literally "The Game of Inches," so when every single play comes down to pure guesswork in terms of the exact ball spot, it kinda reduces the whole sport imo. And not just in crucial spots like 3rd and 4th downs - but literally every single play. Every single time the ball is spotted, it's guesswork. And these missed inches add up to feet, and feet add up to yards, and yards add up to first downs over the course of a game. Yet very few people seem to question this archaic way of doing things, or even think about it at all.
I mean, you can find numerous videos online of refs spotting the ball very dubiously, and even vids of other refs coming in and moving the ball from where a first ref spotted it. And it never gets questioned. It's insane when you think about it. Especially considering that the technology is definitely out there in this day and age to do something about it, like put chips/sensors in the ball and throughout the field or something...
are we collectively ignoring the fact that jon thinks so highly of this video that he had a tutorial on HOW TO USE RUclips at the start of it
I have never watched football in my life, I have no interest in watching football, I don't even know the rules of football, and yet, you managed to put me in a curiousity headlock of good writing and interesting visuals, and made me watch a 50 minute video about one niche aspect of football, and I loved it.

As a high school football official, I can say we definitely prefer to place the ball on a 5 yrd marker if possible, it makes things a lot easier to keep up with and makes the game flow more naturally.
Edward Tufte is a statistician and artist who recognized the relationship between how information is visually displayed and the audience’s ability to understand the significance of what that display is communicating. Brilliant and helpful.
The graphs at 1:48 and 51:23 understand Tufte’s lesson perfectly and I would hang them in my office if they were prints. They’re simple, a little snarky, immediately clear, and somehow a little beautiful.

The fact this was made 3 years before the butt punt is a travesty. The algorithm would probably consider it sensible.
It gets worse. John Fox - that Panthers coach who killed the pooch punt - was also the Chicago Bears head coach WHEN THEY PUNTED TEN TIMES OUT OF TEN. I’m not sure whether to be thankful for John or laugh uncontrollably, UrinatingTree style.
Jon: I will explain punting for viewers who don’t watch sports
Also Jon: *explains whole damn game of football*
I mean, it is called football. Punting is a major part of football so by explaining punting you have explained pretty much half of football so might as well go all the way...wait no this is football, a game about quitting, oh well there are always outliers.
I really appreciate it. I'm here because I like hockey (but know almost nothing) and it snowballed into watching every chary party video because statistics are beautiful so I like getting explanations
Well he does have to put the punt into perspective. It'd be impossible to explain a punt as a stand-alone action. A lot of other things have to happen to warrant a punt
I tried to listen to his explanation, but as a football fan, I couldn't tear my attention away from the wonderful alternative programming. When I saw two older gentlemen fighting over a baseball bat, I felt a supreme peace I've never known before or since.

They did win :)
I watched with same pit in my stomach except I was hoping it wasn't the Packers. We did show up for a play when we murdered the pooch punt. Haha, couldn't have been better.
As a long-suffering Vikings fan, I'm used to disappointment and being listed alongside the annals of failure. When this video had played through all the way up to the #2 spot without the Vikings even being mentioned once, I was dreading the announcement.
And sure, enough. #1 most disappointing punt of all-time. Vikings.
No big surprise really, just another in the long list of Vikings failures.
I felt the exact same dread at the exact same time.

In 2005 my highschool played LeSean Mccoy's team in the Semi finals of the PA state playoffs. He was out for that game. We won 14-13 and went on to blowout the next team for the championship. I maintain that if he had played that we would've not gotten a ring.
Nice to see a fellow Pennsylvanian, especially since my team just won the state championship too
Darelle Revis' high school (Aliquippa) played against my high school in the PA high school playoffs and he single-handedly beat our team playing offense, defense and special teams. It was the best football team Slippery Rock High School ever had and he carried his team to a win with a couple TDs late in the game. It was obvious the guy was going to be great before he went on to Pitt; before he went on to the NFL.

"That's the number one rule of data journalism; come in with an idea, and bend the rules however you need to, to prove your point."
LOL no truer words have ever been spoke. I guessing that's why you didn't mention the bills decision to punt paid off. They stopped the colts, got the ball back, and scored a touchdown, clinching that playoff spot. (spoke too long lol, love that twist ending, well done!)
I think the reason why the saddest punts often occurred in games where the punting team won is because the construction of the surrender index means that the saddest punts occur in very close games, and in very close games, the outcome is closer to a coin flip. Variance handles the rest, resulting in a 6-3-1 record for teams with the saddest punts purely because the game was close and anything can happen.
In short, the situations that create the saddest punts are the situations where the outcome of the game is the least predictable at the time of the punt.
The alternate programming was a nice touch
Jon bois makes me pp long
It IS what football fans crave
Was that the game where cutler faked an injury so he wouldnt have to play the legion? I mean he really did fake it. He threw a pick late in the game the week before and walked off the field without being touched.
@Paul Anderson what r u

Me: HOW CAN THERE POSSIBLY BE AN E- _oh its the Bengals, carry on_
Hey as a Bengals fan...
Yeah that's exactly something we would do, carry on.
Uk what a drop-kick field goal is right? There has never been an actual punt inside the 30. If u saw a punt type kick it was a drop-kick field goal. Usually happens when the place kicker is hurt and the punter can't place kick.

in defense of the 2000 Ravens, trying to pin a team in their own 20 and hope to force a turnover or at least punt to Jermaine Lewis was easily the most likely way they would score
There is actually a reason that 2000 raven's team came out of nowhere to win 9 in a row, they put in Dilfer at qb and their offense went from being atrocious to pretty damn good

I feel like this vikings punt might appear in the 7 part documentary... very excited to see it again
In Week 15 of the 2022 season on December 17th, the Minnesota Vikings were playing the Indianapolis Colts and the Vikings punted on 4th and 10 at the Colts 39 yard line, during a tied game in overtime with 4:50 remaining.
According to my calculations with the formulas provided, the surrender index was 320.34 for that punt. This would be ranked between 8th and 9th from the video.
Below is my math. Let me know if there are any errors.
((2110*0.001)^3)+1=10.39 (seconds passed in the second half and overtime formula)
19.27*0.8*2*10.39=320.34
Jon mentioned in the video that the weirdest games have the highest surrendex punts and this game was no exception. The Colts were leading 33-0 at halftime, until the Vikings tied the game late in the 4th quarter with a touchdown. The Vikings punted in overtime with 4:50 left. The Vikings defense stopped the Colts and forced them to punt (according to my calculations, this punt isn't as high because the Colts weren't as far downfield as the Vikings on the previous series). The Vikings then drive down the field and kicked a game winning field goal. Since the Vikings won, the Colts blew the biggest lead in NFL history and were eliminated from the playoffs. Another thing worth mentioning is that Matt Ryan was the quarterback for the losing team in the biggest Super Bowl choke (28-3) and is also now losing quarterback in the biggest regular season choke ever in NFL history.
The Vikings eventually won by being cowards and not kicking a field goal when they had the opportunity to do so. Football is a weird and dumb sport.
Part of this decision was due to Indianapolis inability to move the ball since halftime, punting there meant a tie was the worst case scenario. They would be frerolling for a win. Also a field goal does not end the game as that was the initial drive.
But yes in terms of the surrender index this would be way up there.
@@justinjelinek8420 You're right. I forgot about the 1st overtime possession field goal rule. I stand corrected.
@@jonscottiegrippin not my intent to correct, but explain why the punt makes sense despite the surrender index. I trust your math is right on terms of the surrender index, and the present ot rules were in place at the time of this vide. Indianapolis punted on the following drive with a little over a minute left iirc. I think that would register even higher.
Pretty funny how Jon mentioned these punts showing up in the weirdest games, and then a couple years later one shows up in the biggest comeback in nfl history. Football is a weird sport lol
The fact that the Browns are not mentioned ONCE in this video is actually pretty amazing.
Usually their losses wouldn't relate to punting, though. It's more other factors against them, not punting.
The only teams not mentioned in this video are the Browns, the Broncos, the Giants, the Saints and the Cardinals.
Congratulations, you five. (I might have missed a mention somewhere though)
@@crazyluigi6664 The pre-2020 Browns had more tragicomically effective ways to turn the ball over
@@Ramboost007 Pretty much, yeah.
Can’t be featured in a video on cowardly punting if you already turned the ball over before fourth down

Hey, the Sabres are bad but they're still professional! At least they've had more success than the Bills in the 2000s :)
They got screwed by Brett hull

I guess this means we're not getting a Jon Bois hockey video ever? 😭😭😭
They also have a AAA baseball team, that plays in a very nice park.
Someone build a surrender index bot like the scorigami bot
Hey Jon, great video but you should definitely revisit this video to add playoff punting to the Surrender Index since clearly punting in the postseason is that much worse with every game being a win or go home, maybe a x2 for wild card, x3 for division, x4 for conference, and a god awful x8 for Super Bowl punting. For most punts which would be around the 0.5-3.0 on the Index, the playoff multiplier wouldn't do that much but for example punting on 4th and 1 inside the opponent's 40 during the Super Bowl would result in a catastrophic score.
Don't forget some kind of modifier for how many times you've punted previously in the game.
At the end of the 2020 season, Aaron Rodgers had thrown more touchdowns than his team had punted, the first time in NFL HISTORY that has happened.
I want to see what kids grow up to do who were inspired by John Bois' statistical and entertainment prowess. John is unknowingly creating something that no one thought was possible. A way to entertain kids with math.
He's one of the crowning examples of how good RUclips can be. Wish more people were as passionate about their content as he is.
Two words. Game theory. Admittedly that’s more for video game fans than sports fans but my point stands.

SykoSkwerl99 Pete Carroll also has a lot of really bad losses tied to when he is aggressive.
Steve Spurrier was rather insane.
Leave it to Jon Bois to have me watch an hour of math based on punts, I love you Jon Bois
If you actually did inflate the scores of the overtime punts for 2017 and 2018, the Houston punt would've been 472.98 putting it at #3 overall instead of #9. The Bills 2017 punt, however, would've had an insanely high score of 628.05 which would blow every other punt out of the water in terms of it's score. So it makes sense that you said it made you the saddest despite making it 3rd.
I remember reading a story in the early aughts about a HS coach who nearly never punted who wanted others to realize it was pretty useless for most high schools.

This video is incredible. The music, the narration, the amount of energy and time to collect and arrange all that data, simply amazing
28:18 I distinctly remember this punt because my dog got hit by a car during this game, and my dad and I had to drive 2 hours to get her to an emergency animal hospital, because this was at 8 at night on a Sunday. So it was one in the morning, and we had no idea about our dogs condition, or even if she was going to survive. We were watching Sportscenter, and they were talking about this punt, and they showed this punt. So me and my dad were in this lobby, waiting to hear if our dog was going to live, terrified out of our minds, and this punt was so cowardly, it took our minds off of it and we talked about it for 5 minutes. That’s how sad this punt was.
P.S. She survived. Had some mild contusions, and slipped a disc in her back. She recovered, and while she don’t get around like she used to, she still here and that’s all that matters.
Edit: I should also mention that this happened like three weeks before my birthday, so my present was getting my pup back.
P.S.S. WHY WOULD YOU PUNT FROM THEIR, IN OT NO LESS? WHY?
Edit: edited time stamp for your ease.
I'm crying what the hell I'm glad your dog is ok
I was worried that your dog wasnt gonna make it
i was about to cry
Lmao yeah I "distinctly" remember this game too, it literally happened less than a year ago
Btw in case anyone cares, she’s 13, and that really complicated things. We didn’t know if she’d recover, but after 3 weeks of laser therapy, she can walk okay. She can’t run for more than a few steps, but I got my pup back for my birthday.
At 41:15 when Jon asked to imagine being a Bill's fan in attendance, I didn't have to imagine. I was at that game, not knowing that I was about to witness one of the saddest punts in history. Still, it was a great game to be at, especially since we pulled out the win

Since this video was released, only 2 punts have registered a surrender index greater than 100.
Both were committed by the Titans within a 2 week span, the worse of which likely lost them the wild card game
Edit: the Bucs just committed the 3rd one, and managed to win anyway
#4 week 1 2022 texans punt on a 4th and 3 at the colts 49 with 26 seconds left in overtime, with a surrender score of 358, which breaches the top 10. Clearly they wanted to lose or tie, since that same 3-13-1 team kept close games to the Chiefs and Cowboys, and even beat the jaguars, all teams who made the playoffs (and 1 the super bowl champ), while the colts struggled with a record of 4-12-1, so they clearly could've beaten them, but decided not to.

Eh, nothing even is in the same league as chart party. Its similar to the Escapist, zero punctuation is on another level from anything they make, and Chart Party here is too.
Outstanding analysis and presentation. This video exposes what is for me one of the most compelling aspects of the game of football, and indeed the enigma of the human condition; the fact that both play out within the constraints of a deterministic field, yet the outcomes reveal the ever presence of an intangible and capricious unknown variable. This mysterious component of us and the game we play, this ghost in the machine, betrays predictability and makes us free!
That picture of ric flair as a representation for “fig. 4” was the most off guard and hilarious thing I’ve seen in a long time
I’m pretty sure most people missed a small joke, so I’m gonna explain it. Between 8:05 and 8:10 there is a transition between figure three and figure five and we can see figure four right above it. This is a picture of a wrestler named Ric Flair. He is in a submission move that he created called the Figure Four. Thanks for reading!
I was wondering why that was there. Thanks!
He draws no attention to it, which makes it so much better.
I guess that's why he credited ric flair in the end
Did you guys catch between figure 10 and figure 12 he had finger 11?
Flair has it on the best Canadian wrestler ever, Bret "Hitman" Hart! This, I believe, is a photo from their Saskatoon, Saskatchewan house show match where Bret wins the WWF title
