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

      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

      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?

                              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!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

                                    I'm not defending it one way or the other. Just stating facts. It is nice to have the ball at the half

                                      That's a lot of unnecessary punctuation.

                                        In Madden, you always defer.

                                        OK but seriously, is your logic that JF and the offense sucked because they had to wait 30 mins to get on the field? Come on dude, we fucking sucked all day, magically had we gotten the ball 30 mins prior we would have lit it up?

                                          Yeah, because Maddon is REALITY
