NFL must change OT rules

[FlyerFinFan]

The rules in the trenches are pretty much the same. I think the game is still won and lost there.

Not when some zebra can toss a flag for what he thinks is hitting a QB's head sorry it's fucked now...

I see that and understand the point made above being that the rosters aren't as big, just feel the college format makes it a little more exciting and leads to some great finishes. I definitely think starting from the 25 is trash....even in college. The college system needs to be adjusted as well.

The college system IS more exciting. But it's also a God awful way to determine who the better team is. College OT becomes Arena football. You don't play 60 minutes of one game and then just start playing something that is vastly different. It would be like MLB moving the fences in 100 feet during extra innings. More home runs for sure, but it's not the same game.

Take my lumps? I'm not a Chiefs fan lol.

Saints had the ball first in OT today.

Losing a game due to a coin toss is just so trash to me.

The least you can do is allow the opposing offense to get the ball if a team starts OT with a TD on their first possession.

No

You want to change the rule because of the Chiefs loss or Patriots win I don’t care...

The first OT game was not won or lost by a coin toss

One of the few...these days.

I think we will see that gradually go closer to the ol' days. That mask-graze on Brady tonight, is something even Brady doesn't want in the league, I guarantee that.

But it doesn't if you lose the flip that's the point a coin can decide two good offensive teams. It's also a team game. Why don't we just allow kickers to go back and forth then save everyones health haha!

Well tough shit.....This is the NFL.....Its suppose to be a man's gsme.
Go home a loser if your def is not good enough to stop them.....

 

[handicappers]

We see 2 OT games today.. great games and we have to cry about something. 1 game had a good enough D to get a stop, the other not so much.


How many kleenexes can one go through in one day?

lol

yeah, the Rams won because of the D

 

[WizardHawk]

Nice novel. Did you watch the first OT game?

Sure, and?

Maybe it’s me but the Rams got smacked around by the Bears around
The same time the Saints got smacked by the Cowboys. Both low scoring games. Not sure the AFC has those types of defenses this year. NFC D came on strong at the EOY

Game wasnt decided by a coin flip

 

[Cave_Johnson]

I'm actually fine with NFL OT the way it is other than 10 minutes in the regular season is too short.

Defense matters too. I'd like to see some stats on how often a coin toss "decides the game" as it supposedly did today. I'd wager it's not as often as people think.

And that's my point anyone that's played sports doesn't want to lose because of a stupid rule especially if a zebra fucks them over. You can diminish this BS by allowing both teams a shot and after that if still tied then let it ride... or fix the BS rules and refs. Seems impossible...

 

[WizardHawk]

Ok, and?

Are you somehow saying if any game ever doesn't end with one team marching down the field that it changes the majority that do?

First you start off bringing up college as if it means something, ignoring that Seattle has been near the lead in the league in defense for quite a few years and that defense won a shit fuck of games for them, using that to suggest we don't get defense. Now you are ranting on because one game pulled out a stop when the other didn't as if it has broader meaning.

Get a fucking clue you tard.

Again I agree the flag on Brady was bad but we are seeing it in slo-mo HD. The ref sees a giant DE swiping at the QB and Brady’s head barely move. Close call again

 

[SJ76]

You are still at the mercy of the coin toss as much or more than the skill set of your overall units.

The first OT game was not won or lost by a coin toss

And neither was the second game,KC lost cause their defense could not stop TB.....Plain and simple.

I’m mean it’s not rocket science

That's the point this kind of shit favors offences making it harder for even good D's to get a stop. Coin tosses mean more again. I don't want to play hard all game to let a coin or zebra fuck me. That's all...

The play harder and don’t get shutout in the first half. Or just run the ball
A bit more Andy

That's what's wrong with the game.. ..Not the counsel toss......
