So if this stat is right, we’re actually pretty middle of the road. The Patriots are actually the most conservative on 4th downs.
Should We Stop Going For It On 4th Down?

The play where the team was 4 and 2 giving the ball to Joshua Kelley was not a good play. The offense gets predictable sometimes.

I love it. It is agression. I would rather be agressive than passive. Especially on the road.
I question the play calling more than going for it. Me personally I would try and get Herbert on the run more to open up the field. The kid shows practially every week he can put the ball between the numbers when he's on the run.

he had a similar but worse play earlier
This is the veteran quarterback play the Rams gave up so much to trade for
Stafford had a shit game as did many MVP front runners like Josh Allen
Our guy might still be in the mix for MVP
Jackson had a good game (stats) but two Ints
G-Ro knows.

I'm good with the team using analytics to help them make decisions on critical downs, but the reliance on them can lead to predictability. It's now almost a given that the Chargers will go for it on 4th down and less than 3 to go, so its normally not a surprise to the other team, which may not be included in that probability of success. Anything wrong in the actual call, or execution, you lower the probability of success, that's a given. However analytics are better than a feeling in the gut, or flying by the seat of your pants.

I could do without the toss sweep/bunch crunch as being one of the plays being called on 4th down.
Lombardi is keeping the family tradition of spreading teams out horizontally and making them defend the whole field, but maybe 4th down isn't the best time to try spreading a defense wide that. He needs to try them, just not 4th down.
