There was really no logic in accepting this penalty. If you accept this penalty, which he did, you run the risk of not only SF getting a first down, but potentially a touch down, where WORST case scenario is they don't convert and then either; A) Kick the field goal or B) Go for it on 4th down anyway, since there's a good chance if they DON'T convert that they are close enough on 4th down anyway next time to consider going for it.If you decline the penalty you put the pressure on San Fran. It's fourth down off a turnover and you're risking not getting any points by not kicking the field goal. Harbaugh is aggressive, but at this stage of the game I just don't see him doing it. If he does go for it then you beat them up front and make a play. MM's got some genius in him, but this was probably one of the worst calls I've ever seen him made. As Vikings vox Paul Allen put it, "Most idiotic call I've ever seen."</blockquote>
