In reply to: ESPN has an in depth analysis up about the debated decision posted by Carlos Huerta

As noted below, analytics say it's almost perfectly 50/50. Both teams get the ball, and it will be fun when the kicking team gets the ball down 7 and scores a TD -- they will very likely go for 2 for the ballgame. That's a good way to end things.

That being said, I think in this particular situation, you'd rather have Mahomes get the ball without the benefit of knowing to go for it on 4th down.

By the way, the whole "49ers players didn't know the rules" thing was overblown.
