[QUOTE="Pokerbrat2000, post: 818944, member: 7261"] But that is the problem with the current system, the coin flip HAS in an indirect way decided the game, since it sets up a situation when if the winner of the flip scores a TD on their first possession, they win. Not going to fish for the stats again, but I do remember the winner of the coin flip winning more games than they lost. I have never seen a team that won the coin flip choose to go on defense first, that alone tells you why its considered an advantage to win the toss and possess the ball. Edit: There was a game that Bill Belichick of all coaches, chose to go on defense after winning the toss. However, the reasons that it happened still are up for debate.
