OT Coin Toss = 49'ers Demise?

If both teams HAVE to possess the ball, no matter what, why on earth would you take it first? You know exactly what you have to do to win the game by letting them have it first.

You know when to settle for a FG, or when you have no choice but to go for it on 4th down. The game is 100% in front of you if you know what you need.

If it were a TD wins on 1st possession, that you can understand. But if both teams have to possess the ball, you take it 2nd so you have your work laid out on the table.

It was a dumb move that will haunt Shananan until the day he dies. Somehow a worse move than any of them he made as the Falcons OC during the 28-3 Super Bowl debacle. He is now associated with 2 SB choke jobs.
