can’t be calling out Shanahan for this. Having the possibility of an extra possession has to be considered a massive analytic advantage. Only question would be the degree to which giving a 4th down to play with for your opponent on their first possession offsets some of that.

of course, it's not the same.
but you're ceding strategic advantage on the first possession with the presumption that there will be a 2nd and that you'll have the advantage then.
