DA decision to accept penalty

Versus 4th down and 2. Turned out to poor decision. Did he make it because he believed they would go for it?
10

I'm sure he did. I thought they would, but then they were gonna kick on inches to go before the challenge

I thought it was a bad call for multiple reasons. At that point we were playing crappy defense, so wasn’t feeling great they wouldn’t pick it up. Also pushing them back there, even if we stop them it’s still less than a 40 yard FG. No real benefit to taking it there in my opinion.

I actually agree with the decision.

I thought DA would decline so Bears would go FG. Defense was not good today.

Doesn't matter. Saints stop it, its Saints ball.
When he took the penalty and if they don't convert the 3rd down then its 4th and ten they kick the field goal. If it 4th and 1 or 2 they go for it or kick the field goal.
We gave them another shot to convert on third down and they converted. The Saints are now on their heels and Chicago got an easy TD. It was dumb

It was a terrible decision.
The NFL is all about getting stops on Defense. So in lieu of a guaranteed stop situation via 4th down try or FG attempt you decided to give them another opportunity. Opportunities are what you trying to eliminate and he voluntarily gave them one.

Yes. He said in his post game press conference that he thought they would go for it on 4th and short and wanted to back them up. Not a terrible decision unless you had no confidence that your defence could get off the field on 3rd and 12.

I would have accepted it too since the Bears probably would have went for it. The thought process is to back them up and hopefully your defense can get a stop.

while its understandable to look back on it now and second guess, that was a reasonable decision to back them up.
the real issue is not going up by 2 scores when it was gifted to you and you make sure the odds of you losing go up drastically, and thats what DA thought was a good strategy, to make it as easy as possible for the other team to win.

I thought it was a no brainer to decline the penalty.
I guess that's why DA makes the big bux and I am just a spare fan.
