Why Would you NOT Want The Ball?

The sun's not in your eyes. Winds are calm. Nice day altogether. You win the toss of the coin to determine first possession. BUT YOU DON'T ELECT TO RECIEVE!!!!!!! What the F............!!!!!! :mad2:

And of course Clausen didn't want it a couple of times. Has he got little hands? You know like that guy wit h the little hands on the hamburger commercial?

Because our offence can't play?

But...Uh....They eventually HAVE to come on the field for at least one play after the defense gets the ball back.

Same reason you challenge a "catch" for a 3 yard gain that would've had you at 4th and 6 instead of 4th and 9 but still out of FG range. We really have no direction/leadership.

What difference does it make wether we get it now or later?

lol even the commentators were like WTF on that one...

because if they do have the lead going into halftime, they'll get the ball back and play time management the second half of the game.

I would actually prefer to get the ball to start the second half.

[R0CKnR0LLA]

If we could, we probably should defer at the start of the game as well as the 2nd half...

Technically we do, have you seen this "offense"?

Caugh! Choke! Snort! Time managment? WE DON'T EVEN HAVE A 2 MINUTE DRILL!!!!!!!! Sorry... We don't have a red zone plan. We have a defense and a field goal kicker. The best thing we could do would be to develop better down field blocking for when we intercept. Get the DB into the end zone or at least close enough for Kasay to boot one through. Then, "D" get the ball back and repeat.

I am a fan of the defer option, and that had nothing to do with us losing the game.

Actually, I think if it had been overturned we would have been on the edge of field goal range (he went out around the 35 or I could be thinking of something else). That is the only reason I can think he would even challenge it.

[SOJA]

because we expected it to be a very low scoring game, and we might have been able to spark our offense in the second half with a good return from Goodson (who was yet again one tackle away from taking it to the house today)
