I was fine with punting but I'd have gone for it

The upside was they'd have one more play to keep the drive alive and maybe win the game.


It had less than a ten percent chance. Only thing you could hope for is DPI and oddly there has not been a DPI in those situations.
So, yeah, I would have gone for it but Rams likely had their own analytics that showed that punting was marginally better punting.

Maybe Rams charts said there was more than a 10% chance of winning by punting. I don't think they would have done it out of
not knowing the pros and cons of either situation.

I guess it's possible they were ignorant of the details but I think McVay weighed the options and made the best decision he could.

We are free to disagree ... I don't have the analytics they have, though.

  Punting was fine, but then you have to be aggressive on D
