    Foolish to do anything but receive in OT in today's pass and flag-happy NFL.

    Absurd. If the game is a low scoring defensive battle and there's heavy wind, it's a no brainer.

    I guess Mike Zimmer wasn't trying to beat the Rams when he did it earlier this season...

    I must have missed 'the kid' saying they wanted to kick. Shit I watched it three times on Redzone too.

    Cousins off the hook now.. That beats it and could be the all time greatest brain fart in NFL History!! Refs didn't let him get the take back.. Insult to injury...

    Jets win....

    I was referring to this game. Still even in those situations, past performances in a game is not a reflection on what is going to occur, even in inclement weather Id probably receive, I just believe offense trumps defense any day simply because the defense has to react to whatever the offense is doing.

    Makes no sense.. Patriots were trying to win that game that's why it went into overtime in the first place.. Brady last dramatic drive to send it into OT paints the picture..

    Pats were trying very hard to win that game in the end.. Silly talk here with throwing the game like that...

    Couldn't tell if it was Slater or Butler. There was no indecision when he said we want to kick though. The protest came when the refs asked the Jets player which way they wanted to go on offense. He didn't think the Jets should get to choose.

    If it was Bellichecks master plan to defer from the start then why did the player immediately go back to the refs and try to reverse the decision to defer? Brain fart....

    Also both of the Jets touchdowns inside of regulation were 80 yard drives, Jets also had more passing and rushing yards, but Belly was relying on the D here.

    I was referring to a previous game where he deferred in OT and it is being reported that he told Slater to defer in this game as well...not sure why Slater looked so fukking lost

    After further review the confusion was which way they wanted to kick the ball, slater said we want to kick the ball that way pointing to the endzone. You cannot choose whether you want to receive or not and the direction. End thread

    The tails has a big "T" on it. Which was explained by the ref during the coin toss. Jesus Christ, is anyone coherent or sober when they watch these games???

    Bingo..

    I agree ya gotta take the ball in OT if you win that coin toss..

    It's not like deferring the possession you will then get the ball to start the third quarter or anything like that.. In OT I think you want to have the ball and try to score offensively every time.. Especially if your offense has been putting up points all game long and when the defenses are starting to wear down that late in the game......

    Belichick kicked off in OT to Manning in Foxboro 3 years ago, but there was a significant wind that night.

    Not sure the wind was a factor here?

    You have to give Brady the ball.

    Yes, but Bridgewater was knocked out of the game before OT. Rams then got the ball at 20, got a 5-yard penalty, went 3-and-out. Vikes returned punt to 50, Petersen broke a 15-yard run and they kicked long FG

    End of first half they sat on ball good field position, plenty of time and timeouts. FYI Brady one of the best in history at the two minute. Never in history has that happened.

    Arguably one of the greatest Coaches in NFL history is a tard for doing this then IMO!!!

    If you have Tom Brady and that high powered offense you take the ball in OT and try to score first.. I don't care about weather conditions. Even if you have the number one defense in the league and are at home they can face the opposing teams offense on the next drive if you don't score a TD...

    If anything you give your own defense time to rest if anything else by taking the first possession offensively in OT...
