Offense or Defense First?

I also understand both sides, that's why I never get upset about either decision. It all depends on the coaches game plan.

Hear ya all. But I say RECEIVE the kick and get on with it.

If we don't win the toss and Cards make us kick to them fine. Superdome BOOM should get our defense going.

both teams are gonna score alot..get the ball and take the lead. That will put the pressure on them right away to have to match us score for score.

Getting the ball first does not mean scoring first. Sorry to keep posting about this but I swear I was pissed off and said so while watching the Dallas game when we got the ball first. We walked on the field with an attitude like we had the ball first so we were gonna score first and it kicked us in the nuts. Getting to start the second half with the ball, after adjustments were made is far more valuable than getting it to start the game. It's a pet peeve of mine! I've *****ed about it fir years. Ok I'll stop now.

i think it would give the crowd a bigger boost if we go on DEFENSE FIRST and make a stop! then we get the ball and try and score. its too much of an UP and DOWN feeling for the crowd to be totally pumped when they introduce the players, then when the offense takes the field first and we have to be quiet. i say keep the energy goin, let the D go out there while the crowd is nice and pumped up and make a huge defensive stop on the opening drive. of course nothin is guaranteed. they may go down and score on us on their first drive. but u never kno, i say DEFENSE first.

Defense first, then Mason Crosby-style onside kick recovery. JK.

Let's take the ball to start the second half. Get the Dome amped up and cheering for their Saints defense to start the game. Give Drew a chance to get the feel of the game.

I just can't see risking having Arizona jam it done our throats in the opening drive. Let's score first and put the pressure on them.
