winning the coin toss

[ramfaninfla]

Would you like to take the ball to start the game or get it starting the 2nd half? I'm not a big fan of deferring to the 2nd half if we win the coin toss. I would much rather take the ball. Let our high power "O" go down and hopefully grab some points off the 1st drive. Thoughts?

I want the ball to start the second half.

Defer.....Stuff them!

Defer. If you stop them that first possession, your work is done. You've prevented the other team from getting a possible 2-score turnaround at the start of the 2nd half.

Double edged sword. Our first drive success seems to have waned and our Defense tends to give up points on opposing teams first drives.

Lets see a stop on D today and at least a sustained drive from the O

Call tails, take the ball, score...make a statement early!

I want the lead so take the ball, score, and stress their O! The quicker we put pressure on them to keep up, the less effective their run game becomes. We want Dak to be trying to throw way too much.

Plus, I worry about the run D. I don't want Dallas to have the ball for 5 min at the beginning of the game, even if they don't score. We get 7 points on the first drive like the chiefs game and it will be game on!

Defer. If the cowboys stop us then the momentum shifts early. But if we stop them then we have the momentum.

Rams seem to do well with getting the ball first in the second half. Defer and play some good defense early.

Kick away.

Stop them on defense on that first drive while the crowd is hyped for the start.

 

[RamBall]

Defer, then play to score at the end of 1st half, so we can stretch the lead with a score to start the 2nd half.

 

[Memento]

Defer. If we shut them down the first drive, I have the feeling that we win this one.

 

[“Turbo set!”]

Take the ball.

Early score can put pressure on opposing team.
