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

Billy knew what he was doing don't think for one sec that he didn't
He wanted the Steelers out of the playoff pictureComment -
Absurd. If the game is a low scoring defensive battle and there's heavy wind, it's a no brainer.Originally posted by jtolerComment -
I guess Mike Zimmer wasn't trying to beat the Rams when he did it earlier this season...Originally posted by jtoler

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....Comment -
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.Originally posted by POOLSIDEComment -

Crazy game
Jets right in the huntComment -
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..Originally posted by jtoler
Pats were trying very hard to win that game in the end.. Silly talk here with throwing the game like that...Comment -
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.Originally posted by JMonI must have missed 'the kid' saying they wanted to kick. Shit I watched it three times on Redzone too.Comment -
non story...Bellicheck has done this beforeComment -
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....Originally posted by Booya711Comment -
And when do you think the Pats found out the Steelers were going to genius.Originally posted by JIBBBYComment -
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.Comment -
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 lostOriginally posted by JIBBBYComment -
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 threadComment -
Either way, DUMB call but the Pat's. And that was stated long before the Loss.Originally posted by KingJD31

I still don't understand what happened there?Comment -
Did anyone look at the coin though? I don't know if anyone can find clear photos of the NFL coin they use online? But man... if they call that side HEADS... I'd like to see what TAILS looks like?Comment -
Why didn't Belichick have Brady make the decision?Where's the fuckin power box, Carol?Comment -
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???Originally posted by TheMoneyShotComment -
Holy hell what the fukk could the "T" stand for?Originally posted by El Nino

Brady is in charge of deflating balls.. Not his department...Originally posted by ChuckyTheGoatComment -
The same Steelers the Pats beat easily in Week 1?Originally posted by TheMartianComment -
Doesn't the NE Coach know that the first touchdown in an overtime wins?
What a fukking idiot! How much is this guy paid?Comment -
Bingo..Originally posted by GIVEMETHEMONEY
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......Comment -
Didnt the vikings do that this year ?Comment -
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.Comment -
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.Comment -
Arguably one of the greatest Coaches in NFL history is a tard for doing this then IMO!!!Originally posted by Seattle Slew
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...Comment
