CIN just demonstrated why you DON'T "defer" if you win the coin toss. Swagger, and confidence in your offense. "We want the ball." Teams have been outsmarting themselves with the deferrals, which were relatively unheard-of until about five years ago.

We try it and than stall……

Wrong.

Many, many, many games are won by teams who score at the end of the half, then get the ball and score to start the second half.

One-score leads get turned into three-score leads in a flash.

A competent, confident team always wants the ball. Again, as CIN just demonstrated.

I prefer we KO first. But I will not whine about it if we don’t.

Many times the other team wins the coin toss and defers, but yet the fans may not know that or even if the do. They will harp on it all game long.

Most of the time it really does not matter. Unless the wind is a factor.

Trade a TD for a FG all game long. Bengals just need to get another TD first.

Except for every team that has won the Super Bowl recently.

Sometimes you do it. Usually it's a sign that you don't think you can win without pulling out all the stops.

If I know our defense is good I prefer to kickoff first.
