Stacking 3's when The Chiefs were playing poorly on offense was the smart move and I don't care what the analytics say. To get nothing after driving all the way down inside the 10 multiple times kept The Chiefs in the game and had to demoralize both his offense and his defense.

I agree with this to some degree. We were getting dominated at the line of scrimmage on both sides of the ball. The Chargers want to minimize variance in that situation, not maximize it. Staley was going for it like we were slinging it all over and they need to swing for the fences to keep up.
That said - most of the decisions except the one that ended the half were like +3-5% WP. I think that's way too much to pass up in most spots regardless of momentum or emotion or w/e.
