Winning the coin toss in overtime.

With no disrespect to the 'Skins defense, both offenses were so hot it's hard to imagine the Jags not getting at least a field goal if they had gotten the ball first in OT.

That was huge for us! This team is really coming together especially offense. I think once we get Springs back, we will see a lot different defense on the field! Anybody want Coles back in exchange for Moss?! :rolleyes:

My heart was beating about 500 miles a minute when they flipped that coin. although I'd really like to think our defense would have stepped up I'm also very glad we didn't have to find out.

I have a weird feeling we win either way. I have no evidence to support my faith.

Winning the toss was essential. Even the commentator said whoever wins this toss has an 80% chance of scoring. I think that was accurate.

I can only imagine what you folks were feeling as I was about to die just sitting home on the couch! I love what Tana said after the game about how he always take heads. "You never bet on your Tail, You bet on your Head." He was busten on the Jag who called tails and lost. He also added he had known to always call heads since flippin quarters on the playground.

Are you sure you heard that correctly? Last I checked (a few years ago), the percentage of the receiving team winning in overtime is something like 55%. And, that includes winning in situations other than the initial possession. So, it's hard to believe that a receiving team would have an 80% chance of scoring on its initial drive.

Think about it, if the percentages were that high, the game would essentially be decided on a coin toss. There is no way the NFL would not change its overtime rules in that case.

While it was important to win the coin toss because neither defense was playing well yesterday, I would still put the key to winning as the outstanding Oline play. Without that, the Skins wouldn't be anywhere near overtime. They would have lost by a couple of TDs.
