Why do we defer?
-
I guess you could argue either way... I personally prefer to set the tone on defense first. And games aren't over after the first drive.

The game was over after the 1st drive today

And after we defer, so we can get the ball 1st in the second half
in the 2nd half we go
3 plays punt, 3 plays punt, 6 plays punt and then the OBVIOUS, 3 plays punt
AWESOME JOB!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Based on the defensive effort against Indy I would've done the same thing. If the D played suspect vs. Indy and the offense hung 42 on 'em I'd take the ball. I think it should be week to week depending on who's playing better and home vs. road.

but thats the first time thats happened. The team likes to open with their strength, which usually works out. It didnt "this week"

we should have opened with "JOHNNY"
we let him sit for 25 ACTUAL minutes. DUMB!!!!!!!!!!!

Yes, but I don't think it had anything to do with deferring.

There is a show on NFL network that is about the "TURNING POINT" of each game.
Ours was the coin toss. we won it and said "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO" we don't want the ball

While I understand what you are saying, you open with your best side. I'm guessing you don't think our offense is better than our defense, especially not after last week. Plenty to complain about after this game, but this doesn't seem like one of our biggest problems.

I think going down the field and scoring is way more important then stopping the other team from doing the same thing
It was proven today. They rolled us on the 1st drive and we NEVER recovered.

K well, that wasn't happening today, if you think it was gonna happen, you have had too much to drink. Hindsight is 20/20 my friend. Our defense is our strong suit, you start with the D and get the stop.

We start on defense and give up a drive of 80 yards for 7 minutes.
GAME OVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Who said our defense was the best part of the team?
they gave up 244 yards rushing.
You win the coin toss........................... YOU TAKE THE BALL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

If you don't think the defense is the best part of this team you are either
1. lying
2. A moron
Yes, the D sucked today, and has sucked at many times all year. But right now, and particularly before this game, it is better than our offense. (Which isn't hard to do)

^ I completely agree. Football is a game of momentum. It is a proven fact that the team that scores first has a 5 percent edge of winning the game.

We've been deferring all year. Haven't you noticed?
Early man walked away as modern man took control. Their minds weren't all the same and to conquer was their goal. So He built his great empires and he slaughtered his own kind, and he died a confused man and killed himself in his own mind... -
what???????????

We've only started off with the ball once or twice all season

we have Johnny starting his 1st game. We win the coin toss, and we defer????????????
Johnny doesn't touch the ball until it's 7-0 and he has sat on the sidelines for 30 minutes of real time..........
That's bad coaching!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
