quote:The Saints had already gained a first down which resulted in a gain of greater than five yards, and thus declined the penalty. It would have been "dumb" to accept the penalty and thus lose yardage, since the clock would have apparently been stopped either way due to a defensive penalty.
Your logic is just dumb because the penalty would have given the Saints an automatic first down
The clock remaining stopped is a definite advantage to the defense in this situation, if this is really how the rule is supposed to work and wasn't just a mistake by the officiating crew.

lol, they weren't trying score...their goal was burn clock and gain first downs...how in the hell is the defense supposed to know the outcome of a play before they commit a penalty? A penalty that would have resulted in an automatic first down when their number one goal during that point in the game is to stop the Saints from getting a first down
