Knowing their D is shit (and that they weren't planning to play Berry)
Knowing a punt would give them excellent field position
It'd be one thing if Reid did this once or twice. But this exact type of drive has popped up over and over and over again in his decades of coaching. That was horrendous playcalling on a 3-down series. Sorry not sorry.

You really have a big problem running on first down causing SD to burn a timeout? Sorry, if Reid calls a pass play and the pass falls incomplete people are killing him for not running the clock.
Blame him for timeout usage/non-usage at the very end, but that last drive failed because of penalties and lack of execution.
