Andy refused to answer this question at the presser tonight. What do you always defer even if you win the coin flip?
Maybe it made sense when the offense was clicking and the defense was middle of the pack. But now…….
I don’t understand this with our defense. We get the ball. Go down and score. Momentum has began. If we somehow get a stop, then score again, that’s ball game.
Starting down 7-0 immediately takes away all the momentum. So why doesn’t Andy change? [Reply]
Cause then you have a chance of scoring at the end of the half and then scoring again the first possession of the 2nd half. Could be a 14 point swing. Something we had an opportunity to do today.
Of all the things that Reid has done this season, this is the biggest non issue of non issues. [Reply]

That's not old school. Teams chose to receive 99% of the time until the 2008 rule change. [Reply]

Momentum is a real thing. Andy talked about it in his pressser. If we just had a screen work, complete a 3rd down pass we could have turned this around. How about grabbing the momentum from the start. Putting the other team in a hole for a change. Put pressure on them to catch up. [Reply]

Yeah because our defense will really stop teams if they get the ball 2nd instead of first :-).
No one is scared of our defense and frankly, our offense. They know they can score at will and that our offense will eventually turn the ball over. So no, I'd rather have the opportunity to double dip and get two straight scores than worry about momentum or anything like that. [Reply]
As if receiving the ball at the beginning of the game and kicking it away to start the 2nd half has had anything at all to do with why KC is sucking big dirty sweaty balls in 2021.
'Maybe if they took the arrowhead off the helmet we'd win more games!'

The defense is so bad I get what you're saying. BRC thinking outside the box. Unfortunately opposing defenses have figured out how to slow down the greatest show on earth. [Reply]

I do agree, in hindsight, that deferring results in points against. Right now.
I’m just saying we need to change up something. We are repeating the same mistakes. In general, yes, deferring is the smart move. But, not even considering it when we are playing like shit is not considering all options to get us out of this sinking hole. Why not give it a try? See if devoting first matters. [Reply]
