Receive. Dallas need to jump on them early and start grinding.
defer.................always want the ball to start the second half.....................that way if we are trailing, we can get back into the game and if we are leading, we can try to extend it.

Well, then we defer to a 7 point hole to start the game. Just like last time.
If we're assuming that our defense is going to get blasted again, then it's even more reason to defer until the second half. If we take the ball first, Garrett is much more likely to be conservative and try to play the "establish the run" and "field position" game, such as punting from the Eagles' 36-yard line. If we take the ball first in the second half instead, Garrett might understand that we actually need to score points to win, not just run the clock and punt.
Always. Always kick.
There's a 50% chance that Philly wins the coin toss and makes the decision for us.
Thought the question was if we win the flip
Perhaps it was. Still a 50% shot that Philly makes the decision, though.
