Agree? Disagree? Indifferent?

We've been one of the top scoring teams at the end of halves, which combined with getting the ball first in the second half is a great opportunity. Whether the offense wastes it is besides the point, the point is the opportunities are there. I have been perfectly happy with our policy to defer.

I don’t really think it matters much in the grand scheme of things. If the first drive “sets the tone” and we go three-and-out, then are we screwed the rest of the game? Both scenarios are equally likely. It’s on our coaching/players to be mentally strong enough to overcome any hurdles in the game and play strong for 4 full quarters.

That being said, I don’t like his overall reluctance to change. This quote could basically sum up his entire philosophy, not just the coin flip.

Ron will never learn.

I think they should change their coin toss strategy. Getting the ball first and setting the tone could help the offense get on track.

Thoughts? 

Most of the time we start off dead and usually have a 3 and out... I'd much rather have the ball at halftime when we have had a chance to warm up

Kinda don't mind the defer...simply because I can already imagine a 3 and out, with a loud Superdome, and Shula having trouble calling in the run-run-pass calls. 

Ron trusts the defense more, as he should...but it would also be a nice way to pump Cam up by saying we're giving you the ball first, go get 'em while everyone is hyped up.

    • Over previous years? Sure is 😆
    • An odd little vibe I've noticed here of late: some folks are "all or nothing" to an absolutely extreme level when it comes to Bryce. Here's a bit of truth telling though: There are, in fact, things Bryce does well. Likewise, there are areas in which he's improved over his time here. He has, on several occasions now, legitimately helped us win games. On the flipside, there have been failures in other areas as well as coaching that we're not in any way his fault.  And finally , it is also genuinely possible that the team may see him as the future, even if we don't. The craziest part, though? It's actually possible that they're right and we're wrong. All of this is true, and more, yet if you accept any of these premises people go from zero to apesh-t in under three seconds 😳 Anything less than total disavowal of Bryce and / or agreement that he's the worst QB of all time and suddenly you're a "stan". Oy 🙄 The reality though?  Bryce is indeed an NFL quarterback. Not a great one, probably backup level good, and I've seen way worse. Now, if you run that statement through your personal Google translator and it comes back with some version of "I want to throw 50 million a year at Bryce for the next 10 years", that's not really my issue it's yours  I don't wanna make him the franchise quarterback, but it's not my call. Win or lose, the team is going to do what they think is best. And as always, if it disagrees with what I think we should do, I'm gonna hope I'm the one who's wrong. Internet clout means nothing. Watching my favorite team win at my favorite sport meas fun 😁
