In Response To: Should they have kept the punt? -- OT (Sam Pottle)

Yes, that was about 4% GWC error. This was likely a combination error -- undervaluing the 4th and 1 opportunity and overvaluing having the opponent so deep in their own territory. If it had been a poor punt result one wonders if SF would have repunted or tried to pick up the first down.

Ironically, I suspect back when (current SF head coach) Jim Harbaugh was playing QB he would have thought it right to go for the 1st down. That coaching hat is more powerful than the "One Ring to Rule Them All".
