Default Re: Football Rules- Why don\'t teams decline this kind of penalty?

[ QUOTE ]
Maybe they are worried they will convince the team to try the field goal instead of the punt if they don't let them back up. Letting them back up guarantees a punt.

This doesn't make any sense at all. Why would the offensive team let the defense decide if it was going to go for a field goal?
