    The game was over after the 1st drive today

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

    It set the tone for the entire game

  • You want to make an omelet? You've got to break some eggs.

  • 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?

  • what???????????

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

  • We've been deferring all year. Haven't you noticed?

    and have you figured out we have won 8 coin tosses and lost 6 of those game???????????

  • 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?

    Please stop already

    Yeah, because Maddon is REALITY

  • Yea 149 you need to put the bottle down.

    Our offense all sucked all game why would getting the ball first have mattered.

    That was obviously a joke buddy, get with it.

    Are you partying with JF and a bunch of hookers right now or something?
