Cowboys win the coin toss. You want them to start on defense or offense?
 
For some reason i always want to start on D In real games and madden.!!!! I just like knowing the fact that you get the ball first after halftime. It feels even better if you have the lead and get the ball!!
 
Funny, a buddy and I was just talkin about this today. This game I would rather start ond. For me it a game to game thing.
 
Offense. Control field position in hostile environment. Easy answer
 
Defense.

A quick 3 and out would quiet the crowd some...
 
Offense. And our first play is a play action deep bomb to Miles for a TD, just like we started out the Saints game a couple years ago.

A quick score like that will charge up the defense, quiet down the crowd, and put the Giants on their toes.
 
I'd always choose to start on D and get it first at halftime if it were up to me.
 
I prefer to start on D. Some "experts" have said they expect us to have a top 5 D. Lets pin them deep, make them go 3 and out, and start Romo with a short field. That would be my dream start.

I think all that would put them back on their heels, but I get what you're saying.;)

I usually prefer starting on defense when on the road. Don't want to start on offense while the crowd is all jacked at the start of the game.
 
I'd rather start on offense. Hopefully run the ball and get some first downs. End up in some points, quiet the crowd down. If it's a 3 and out, you get to see how the defense is attacking your offense and can adjust the next series.
 
I feel like teams elect to start on D more now. In my recollection it seems like years ago nearly everyone always elected to receive. Am I remembering right?

The other option is to choose the direction so the wind is at my back in the fourth qtr...
 
Defer til the 2nd half, kickoff & force a fumble. There's a dream scenario
 
I would start on D. The perfect situation would be to score at the end of the first half, then get the ball at the beginning of the second half and score again.
 
I would say that one should almost always defer to the second half.

If you're trailing at halftime, you get the ball back with a chance to catch up.

If you're tied at halftime, you get the ball with a chance to get a lead.

If you're leading at halftime, you get the ball with a chance to extend your lead.

This.

I always prefer defense first.
