Kick off or Receive in OT?

[BelichickFan]

Don't know if this was brought up elsewhere but if the game had gone to OT would you have kicked off or taken the ball if we won the toss? I know you always take the ball but I would have kicked off. Barring a broken play I don't see either team getting the TD on the first drive.

Always take the ball.

Bill tried that BS vs the NYJ in 2015 and it bit us in the ass.

Bill took the wind and kicked off against Denver and paymetons and won if I recall. Zach’s isn’t a manning. But normally I would want the ball.

I think you get the choice of the ball or not. If we won the toss and chose to kick off I think the Jets get to pick the direction.

Reminder why I asked - 103 total yards for the Jets. I know you always take the ball but ...

yeah, that makes sense, it's not like you are choosing to defer.....but you can: The winner of the toss can choose whether to receive the kick or to kick off, or the team winning the toss can choose which goal to defend.

think in this game, it's almost smarter to take the wind and let the Jets decide what they are going to do (the way their offense was playing, it's almost like their best chance to score would be on defense lol)

Based on the wind yesterday, and how the defense was playing, the choice at the OT coin flip is to defend the most favorable endzone.

100% take the wind and kick it. If you take the ball , youre likely going 3 and out and punting into the wind. Theyd only need a fg to win and have the wind

99% of the time you take the ball first. Just so happens yesterday's game is the 1% where the defense is playing lights out (2 yards in the second half hahahahahaha jete mfers) AND the wind made long FGs more challenging. I'd choose which end zone to defend.

Our defense probably had a better chance to score than our offense. Wilson was overdue for a turnover.

He wasn't just due, he was positively itching to hand out freebie picks. I could see he was visibly frustrated that our D kept dropping the easy picks in their breadbaskets. It was quite rude of our guys to decide not to catch those and force poor Zach to play at least 3 downs every series. Dude just didn't want to be on the field.

Take the ball and watch Marcus run a KR to the house for game.

Yesterday probably would’ve been one of the only times I’d kick off. The Jets were that bad on offense.
