She starts a thread asking for input into discussing the situation where McVay went for the TD and drawing comparisons with the analytics behind going for it on not.

But I agree with you that showing an empty backfield is a "tell" to the defense that they don't have to worry about the run. Plus the very next play DH subs for Freeman which to me implies that DH will get a pass play, since Freeman does not catch passes in this offense. I would have preferred that next play instead of the incomplete to Puka with 5 wides, and then running play action to Freeman and throw to Higbee or Puka on 3rd down.

  Has anyone addressed why McVay was throwing when he should have been eating clock?

  Why not run the ball and take time off the clock?
