If the Saints win the toss, do they defer?

I say yes, stop them early, make ‘em punt...

Get the ball at the start of the second half with a lead.

No, Score first.

Stop Dak once.

Game over.

Atlanta thought they were being cute by deferring. Saints will put their offense on the field to score first and put stress on Dak to keep up. It will be his undoing.

Even though the Saints offense is historic, you can’t just assume scoring first. Defer is the right play.

No frick that get the ball and score... I always have strongly disliked the Cowboys ,but after this week I want to run those frickers out of Jerry World. Score early and fast and put the pressure on Dak.

Take the ball, and score. Even if it's 3 points, Dak will fold

We need to do whatever it takes to make them abandon the run game. If that means score first I'm all for it.

Keep the offense on the field at every opportunity and the defense fresh. Have Cam and Company enjoy the 15 minute half-time to catch their breath, then pin their ears back for a three and out, and give the ball back to Drew.

I heard that 95% of the teams have deferred this season. So if I was a betting man...which I am...I would bet on defer.

or stop dak once, then score, then score a lot, then score first after the half, then score a lot more, then win.

Getting the ball means you’re going to get the loudest crowd of the game. It’s a risk that you get false starts or missed assignments.

But if you can handle it and score 7 then it takes he wind out early.

We did that against the Eagles. Almost thought we did it as a type of, “swing first,” provocation, because we never defer.

Doesn't matter, the outcome will be the same regardless.

8 minute drive for a TD. 3 and out of the girls. Saints get the ball back and score in under 5 plays. Strip sack for Cam returned by Davenport for the TD. 21-0 to end the first.
