I'm a fan of defering, but .....

This article is hilarious. It has nothing to do with the Bills and is actually about the Colts v. Broncos game from the weekend. If you really, really hate Dick Jauron, then this article should come with a warning (although you'll have to read the article to find out why and the warning will no longer do you any good). There are no stats or anything in the article and it's specifically about the Broncos and Colts game.

And on (hopefully) one final defering note: If I were an NFL head coach, my strategy would be to defer 80-90% of the time and then regardless of the matchup, I would take the ball first in what I considered to be the most important games. The goal would be to send a message to the team that this game is different, we're gonna start fast and win this game because it means more.

i like your coaching philosophy

and I think the whole sending the message thing would work. I’m on board with that kind of thinking.

His justification did make sense. If you play solid D, pound the run early and keep it close, score at the end of the first half, then score at the beginning of the second half, it’s a 14 point swing and the Colts are playing catch up. Not a bad thought. It just didn’t work because the D didn’t hold and they were down by 21.
