That's how I look at it: I don't think it was a right decision to go for it on 4th down to begin with. If the offense could get a FD, the game would be all but over because most likely, the Saints would still be able to be up by 4 with almost no time and timeouts left for the Patriots. Even after that, the Saints' defense DID its job by getting an INT. Again, the offense didn't do jack. The offense didn't consume much time and didn't make one FD on 2 possessions.
I just don't think it's fair to ask your defense to bail the team out every time if you give the other team chance after chance, especially with a QB like Brady.
