1st 3 plays against Wisconsin
- Thread starter NCHawker
- Start date
Three wins and yet you are still negative. I can see why you were banned.

Stretch run left. 2 yards.
Stretch run left. 1 yard.
Check down pass for 3 yards.
Punt.
It gets very hard to watch this team start slow every single game. Its going to bite them in the ass and I hope its not this week.

Ok Mr. Smart Guy. How many points has Iowa scored on their opening possessions so far so his year? How many long drives?
You do realize the first 3 plays are no indication of whether the Hawks will win or lose? And because a person doesn’t predict they will score or pick up big chunks of yardage in the first 3 plays makes them negative?
Try paying attention. You might learn something.
Yes, the fact I am able to post means I’m banned. Wrong again, Mr. Peepers.

Correct me if I'm wrong, I don't believe Iowa (with their first possession in all three games) has gotten a first down...

Is it ok if girls play, too? Am I the only female on this forum?

Exactly. It's just like every team in the NFL that wins the coin toss - the NEVER defer. They always take the ball. Heck, even the Bears in the '80s with their defense took the ball when they won the coin toss.

Belechick defers ...

In 2014, the New York Times reported that Belichick’s team had deferred after 48 of its first 50 coin toss wins following the NFL’s decisions to let toss winners decide to defer in 2008. But Belichick, then and still, has avoided framing it as a matter of philosophy.
“It just comes down to each week,” Belichick told the Times when that article was published. “We make the decision prior to the game based on all the circumstances that go into the game, what we want to do.”
During the 2017 season, the always-defer trend kept up for a while. On the Patriots’ first seven coin toss wins of the season, they did the usual and deferred. But in their last two chances, they’ve changed course and opted to receive. That yielded a game-opening touchdown drive against Jets in Week 17 and a game-opening punt against the Titans in the Divisional Round of the playoffs. It’s been a surprising reversal.

There was no option to defer in the ‘80s.
I am a strong proponent of deferring. Always. Reason being, there could be an opportunity to score right before halftime, then again to start the second half. Otherwise the opponent could have the same opportunity. Could result in huge momentum booster.
Since the defense is the strength of this team, I would like to have them out there first.

This. Bill Parcells in his long NFL career made absolute hay out of clock management. Having possession at the end of the first half and getting the ball to start the second was vintage Parcells.
Throw in the halftime break and sometimes he would keep the other teams offense on the sidelines for well over an hour of real time.
Belicihick, of course, is from the Parcells tree. So we're Tom Coughlin and current Vikings Mike Zimmer. All adept at clock management.

deep drop play action pass to fant down left seam, just misses him. Zone read run left gets 2. 3rd and 8 pass to hockenson for first down, but just barely as it was more like 7 and 3/4 yards, but we get a favorable nose of the football for a first down. we run 5 more plays and end up punting after a chop block call sets us back.
