In Response To: What are the worst playcalls in the history of football? (Matt Cohn-Geier)

The three years we analyzed the full season of NFL "critical calls" (4th downs, points after TD, kickoffs), typically the largest errors of the year were in the 12-18% GWC range. ("Largest" meaning top 10 or so for the year.)

Let's just say this one is likely to make that honor roll for 2010.
