I read somewhere that, analytically speaking, it’s hardly ever the correct call to punt the ball on 4th and 1. The odds of picking it up are just to good.
Add in that offensive line and Wentz’s knack for quarterback sneaks and going for it was the right call in every one of those situations Saturday.
On the last one, New England KNEW what was coming and still couldn’t stop it.
You need to give Reich some credit here. He beat Belichick at his own game. He managed to work around Wentz’s awful performance and still come out with a win.
He’s a very good, borderline great, coach.
