OT Coin Toss = 49'ers Demise?

Well, the defense could score, although I guess that would count as a change of possession.

See bullet point #1 in my post giving reason to take 2nd possession.

1. You play defense and get a turnover that puts you in field position to win and eliminates a 3rd possession by the team who had first possession.

And? I wasn't making the case for anything in my comment. I already understood that point.

And.....You made a case in your comment for one of the reasons to take 2nd possession, knowingly or not. You've been the strongest supporter in this thread to take the ball 1st, and yet, this is one of the reasons to take the ball 2nd.

I set the challenge in my post above to give more than the 3 reasons to take 1st possession versus the 9 reasons to take 2nd possession.

I'm still waiting for someone to validate a 4th reason or more to take 1st possession but have yet to see one. Nor has anyone debunked the 9 valid reasons I presented to take 2nd possession. Right now, it's 3 to 1 in favor of taking 2nd possession (not counting the trophy).

Unless someone can make a stronger case for 1st possession, end of discussion, thread over.
