I have no issue with this.

Baltimore Ravens coach John Harbaugh said at the time that it is "really a competitive disadvantage" for a team to play close to the full 15-minute overtime period. In theory, players are less rested than their next opponent. There has been some concern that a 10-minute overtime would lead to more ties, but that potential increase has not dissuaded proponents of the change.

Of course he would say this.

I don't see how shortening the ot by 5 minutes would reduce risk of injury

5 more minutes of play a week earlier? Cry for the professional athlete, folks. OT games are few and far between anyway.

Just eliminate OT. Rock/Paper/Scissors to break all ties.

Well if they are few and far between and I agree I see no reason not to aire on the side of safety.

That, or go to Penalty Kicks like the other football. Alternate kickers, off the tee, from the 50 yard line, no defenders. Best out of five wins it.

Because the extra 5 minutes is not going to affect the wind of a professional athlete a week later. It's a ridiculous suggestion.

What's funny is the people wanting this minor change that will do nothing are the same retards who want to extend the regular season and expand the playoffs. Pretty sure an extra 2 games is worse for player safety than cutting 5 minutes off of OT. Worst case there are 3 games in a year where 15 minutes of OT is even needed. This does nothing except ensure more ties.

 

[tducey]

If it increases player safety I have no issue with it. To many horror stories of what these guys go through after they retire. Good on the NFL for this.

NFL: 10 minutes of OT utterly and completely safe for all involved. 15 minutes of OT...instant death!!!

Oh, be nice! Are you upset because you thought the thread title was "Bring on the tits?" I mean, I was at first, but then I adjusted.

There is more to this than just a guy being winded. Those players on that field at this point in the game are tired very tired and when athletes are exhausted the risk of injury increases.

I'm jiggy with it. Ties make things interesting at the end of the season.......

 

[tabascojet]
