Ok, here's a question sure to spark some debate:

We win the toss.  Does MLF take the ball or defer?

I do think that getting a lead could be very important for getting SF off their plan and put more pressure on Jimmy.   But, our D is also impressing lately and a 3 and out early (or even a turnover) could really swing ole mo our way.  That also gives the chance for the half time double up etc.

To me it's a tough call and I'm glad I don't have to make it.  Personally I'd be inclined to defer... how about the rest of You Peopleโ„ข errr idots and morans?

I'd say defer. It gives us the ball right away in the 2nd half and it allows the defense to rest, a little bit more, after halftime and through that first offensive series, in the 2nd half. It would be nice to see ARod  execute a long drive, resulting in a TD, from  that offensive series.

Everyone has a plan.... Until they get punched in the mouth. 

That goes for the Packers as well as the Niners. 

Adams talking about this "better plan" -- how about first of all don't give the ball to the Niner defense. Let's start there. How about CTFB when it hits you in the numbers or facemask. How about no Stoooooopid unsportsmanlike conduct penalties. Right Davante?!??

absolutely defer. Then hope we get a Wayne Simmons type turnover and get up on them early. win-win.
