What is better, 1st and 10 or 2nd and 1?

shdw01 · Dec 23, 2013

You are rooting for a team and on 1st down they get about 10 yards. Measurement coming up, what do you want? pretend this is early in the game so a general rooting interest, nothing referring to a specific situation.

I'd rather have 2nd and 1.

+1. Able to take a shot down field with play action.

This question is a joke right? 2nd and 1 and it's not even close

The break even point is 2nd and 5. Anything less you should prefer over a 1st and 10.

I want to see if acebb has the wrong answer again

2 and 1.... What's the chances of picking up 9 on 1st

shdw01 · Dec 23, 2013

so are you guys saying every time your team throws a quick out on 1st down to the chains you are hoping they are short?

shdw01 · Dec 23, 2013

I can see the appeal of a 2nd and 1, but when I see 1st down pass, I love it when they can move the chains for a new set of downs.....I love when they fight for that extra yard to reach the yellow line

Sorry not the intention. It's all about percentages for me. Your percentage of picking up a 1st down on 2nd and 1 is a lot higher then on 1st and 10.

I love when they do that on 3rd down... not on 1st

i also like when the do that on 3rd down...but i also do a fist pump when they make the 1st down on 1st down.

First Down move the chains

LoCalDallasGuy · Dec 23, 2013

I think 2nd and 1 is a little better because the entire playbook would be open.

elk102873 · Dec 23, 2013

2nd and 1 is basically FIRST and 1....

Now say THIRD and 1 vs. 1st and 10, THAT'S a good comparison..

slapshot · Dec 23, 2013

Should of did a poll on this

2nd and 1 on the 33 yard line

Or

1st and 10 on the 34 yard line

Defying · Dec 23, 2013

I like have having 2nd and 1... Just feel like it's a chance for a big play...

I was just playing Madden and had my choice...I chose 2nd and 1 and did a playaction pass deep and scored a td. 1 and 10 is great too. Both good situations to be in.

probably Carolina was playing Saints only way Carolina plays in Super Bowl, on Madden!
