    We played two run based teams (arguably three until The Rams forgot about Gurley) in a row.

    i actually see exactly what Freddie Dining Room wanted to do by getting the ball - scoring - and putting a run based team in an early hole.  Now he just needs to work on the going down the field and scoring part. 

    Way too many other things to worry about than electing to receive.

      “The central reason most coaches have given for deferring comes down to the chance to pair a score at the end of the first half with one at the start of the second. It’s the only opportunity a team has for two straight possessions and can be a chance to instantly put the game out of reach.”

        My friend........ Claims he has some math that proves

        1)  If you elect to receive:   you could - start with the ball and end the half with the ball.  Then end the game with the ball.   That's.....umm....three

        2)  If you elect to defer:  you could - end the half with the ball.  Then start and end the second have with the ball.   That's....three

        * you may substitute 'meaningful possessions' with the term 'the ball'.

        ----------------

        If you receive, and you go 3 and out because they're doing something on D that you didn't expect....

        If you defer, then you've seen their plan and can perhaps make a meaningful adjustment to give you a better chance at not going 3 and out.

        Ya.... I wasn’t talking about counting on your finger type math.... was statistical stuff.... but ok.
