re: #31 lizardofid

Is it possible the Pats actually wanted Slater to “defer” and if the Jets took the ball, they would then select the wind? By selecting to “kick” they got neither the ball, or wind.

(I could easily be wrong)

Matthew Slater says he checked with coaches multiple times that they definitely wanted to kick off.
