I'd receive, try to play with the lead and have momentum early


We tried this against Dallas and I thought that the 3 and out to start the game set the tone of the game.

I really want the ball coming out of the half. IF you are UP you get to score again and change the game. IF you are down, it gives you first crack to cut into any lead.

Never ever chose to kick after winning the toss. The other team gets the choice for the second half they chose to receive. You will have kicked off twice and never recieved unless the other team scores. If you want to kick to start the game you should defer if you win the coin toss.

Kick, you always want the ball first in the second half. Besides, I predict an INT the first Colts possession.

Kick it. I always want the possibility of the 14 point swing going into and coming out of halftime.

In College teams always want to defer to the 2nd half, so they end up kicking if you win the toss.

In the NFL, teams that win the toss usually get the ball.


Until recently (maybe last year) NFL teams couldn't defer. They either had to choose kick or receive. That's why you saw the team that won the toss received. I'd like to see the stats on this since the defer rule went into effect.

Depends on SP Game Plan.
If we receive I expect a full out Offensive attack for the entire game, 4 and 5 WR sets, etc.
If we kick we are playing a bit more conservative OF in the 1st half, see if the DEF can get some turnovers, wait to see how the colts want to play.

This

Sean has confidence in his set of plays he has lined up for the first drive and wants to be the one to put points on the board first.

Receive and drive down and score 100 times out of 100.

There is no place for conservative in the SuperBowl, especially against the Colts.
