Probably the higher percentage call. Their defense was playing a lot better than their offense. If they don't convert on 4th down the game is over. It's not like it was crazy to punt.

Because if they didn't make it it would be an instant win for the Chiefs. The Chargers were hoping their defense could get a couple of sacks and force a punt instead.

It should be illegal for opposing coaches to willingly give the ball back to Mahomes in overtime. It’s like allowing them to move their king into a checkmate.
But hey, I’m not complaining. |

This right here. Either call was right. Either call was wrong. Depending on outcome.

It would have been the right call if the Chiefs didn't have a dude with a cannon for a leg.

I guess I just look at it as forcing our defense to make a play on fourth down which I think was very manageable. Regardless of field position if you give Pat another chance on offense you risk him putting it all and torching the defense. They took the super bowl champs into overtime, you’re playing with house money at that point.

Their coach is a coward. No other answer. Going for it was absolutely the higher percentage play and every analytics person would tell you so.

Weren't they on their own 30 or 34 yard line or something? You can't go for it in OT against Mahomes from your own 30 yard line. That's basically suicide. You especially don't do it with your rookie QB in his very first NFL game. You don't put a kid in that position. You put the onus (if it doesn't work out) on the HC's shoulders.

Heh, yeah it does. Football simplyu doesn't have enough repetitions in a single game for that shit to work out.
Take the Ravens game last year. Harbaugh went for it on every 4th down, tried to convert 2-pointers on every score because "analytics." Worked out so well for him and the Ravens . . . |
