Saints are 1st place in the NFC South thru 9 weeks after Saints Won + Falcons/Bucs losses

Sure! That's our season. Beating the Tyson Bagent led Bears.

Show me a successful head coach who declines 4th and 2 in favor of 3rd and 12. It just doesn't happen. It's just not even close to being a good football decision. It's honestly terrible.

You keep bringing this up as if the decision was absurd. Hardly. We were playing a team with nothing to lose and was very likely to go for it on fourth down. With third and 12, the odds are in favor of creating a longer than fourth and two. Our supposedly stout defense failed.

There are many things I can question about DA’s coaching, but that decision wasn’t one of them.

I’m in the camp of happy we won, but I was hoping to see we genuinely turned a corner. I don’t think we have and, yeah, I think our coaching is holding us back.
