If you defer and give up a TD, game over. That's why under the current format you won't see NFL teams that win the toss deferring like the NCAA does.
If they do that, they will loose a ton of fans, just on the premise of changing the game dramatically after all these years.
If your defense is that good, take the ball, score a FG, stop the other team and win. An NFL coach will never defer when there's no guarantee they will get their hands on the ball....
Just like moving the kickoff to the 35? That sure was a lot of noise about nothing.

You have a better chance of scoring if you have the ball first. Why defer?
Once the stats come out for this seasons new ot rules I think there will be some coaches change their minds about deferring.I know at least 2 of the ot games I watched might have been 3,the team that received the ball first lost.
NBC execs must be doing cartwheels to get a winner takes the division scenario for it's SNF finale. Not only is it for the division, but they get the very ratings friendly Cowboys going up against one of the most exciting rookies to come along in years!
IMO, that's purely coincidental. If a coach defers with the current OT rules, that could very well cost him his job.................and rightfully so.
No, moving the ball to the 35 doesn't remove the kick off, thus not a major change, unless your paid to be a Return Man.
Here's some stats through week 12. I don't think there will be a lot of minds changed, except maybe yours....

So the 2-13 Chiefs have 5 players selected to the Pro Bowl. The 4-11 Raiders have none, and went 2-0 against the Chiefs. Pro Bowler RB Jammal Charles, had 1440+ yards against the rest of the league... Only 14 yards on 14 rushes against the Raiders.
What does the above have to do with anything? Which Raiders were snubbed and how?
Now is the time of year fans forget they aren't the only ones who voted for these guys.

It has EVERYTHING to do with football....like this thread.
Do you think anyone outside of Charles deserve it? And if so, why? As far as the Raiders, I am a realist and think no one other than Seabass, who was perfect under 50+ yards(27-27...and his only misses were 51, 62 and 64 yards) deserves to go.- Status
