As the regular part of the game is done I tend to agree. At least do timed to start, then if still tied a sudden death where each team gets a shot until one team doesn't score.

stevegrab Posted March 30, 2022 Share Posted March 30, 2022 I figured this would happen and I don't hate it. Just wonder why it didn't get changed when Mahomes was the one who missed a chance to perform in OT when the Pats beat them with Brady? Having the OT period in playoffs use the original 15min is also going to be important, because 2 TD scoring drives could eat a lot of clock time barely leaving time for another drive. I don't agree with endless tries by both teams to score until one fails, that sounds like NCAA OT rules which are very hokey and not like real football removing kickoffs, and forcing 2p conversions etc. And I'm pretty sure the NFL's TV partners would not like the prospect of games lasting until who knows when. Might be OK for the SB or the last game slot each day, but not when you have another game scheduled to start 3.5 hours after it kicks off.

League_Champion Posted March 30, 2022 Share Posted March 30, 2022 Can we please eliminate the tie? No game should ever end in a tie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1fastdoc Posted March 30, 2022 Share Posted March 30, 2022 This would be a lot easier if the QB's just had a duel at the 50 yard line. Perhaps with exploding footballs at 30 yards. We'd get rid of some noodle arm QB's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How many games end in a tie in a given year? Or over say 10 seasons? Its less than one per year, closer to 1/2 since OT was introduced in 1974 (27 times in 45+ years). Prior to OT rules 5-6 tie games were more the average. Having games possibly go on forever is not something the TV partners want, and they are the money in the NFL I did not agree with the change to 10min in OT, as that can result in more ties. And the reasoning offered by the league was pretty weak, mostly safety like 60 and 70 min games are OK, but 5 more as too much. That may have also been a TV thing as we've evolved over the decades from a 3hour window, to 3hr 15min, and now closer to 3.5 hours (2nd game of double headers used to start at 4PM Eastern, then 4:15, and now 4:25).

I guess I'll try to limit my outbursts to tailgate where everything goes and most people don't bother reading. It also doesn't help when I have a bunch of other users calling me out any time I reply to LC, but almost never say something to him. Yes I'm angry, lots of crap going on, some I'm not going to share with a bunch of people I barely "know". Sorry I'm bothering so many people.

Henry Muto Posted April 3, 2022 Share Posted April 3, 2022 Seems to me that this reverses the overtime coin toss thinking. Now you would likely rather get the ball 2nd then 1st so you can see what you need to do. I wonder if NFL teams will view it the same way. The risk of course with taking the ball 2nd is if both teams do not score on the 1st drive or both teams score a FG on the 1st drive the team getting ball first now has advantage. Team getting ball 2nd would have advantage though if the team getting ball first does not score or scores a TD as they will kick the XP and then having ball 2nd you will now know you have to go for it on 4th down and if you score you are going for the 2 pointer to win.

I've heard some who think it will be that way. But it dismisses any chance of the team scoring the TD second going for 1 to tie. Since it only impacts playoffs, and we don't see that many of them, about 1 per year, its going to take a while to see how it works. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People come across sites like this when they search for something they're interested in. Controversy is fine, and often drives views, but if it gets personal it can also deter new members. I get there is a feud and it obviously predates my time here but I would suggest that L_C and Steve give some consideration to the site owners. When the bickering becomes insulting and petty, it deters people from joining the site. I used to be very heavily invlolved in various car forums and a lot of them devolved to bickering bs that wasn't related to the core of what began the forum. It drove away membership and killed sites that had been around for over a decade. Out of respect to the site and its owners, please consider what you type before hitting submit. I mentioned this in the Tailgate and since then I started a business and am about to start another. Add that to a divorce and I'm a bit cash strapped. But it holds true that if y'all want to visit Nashville I will fly both Steve and L_C here to meet in person, at which point I suspect they'll discover they have far more in common than they realize. Or they'll kill each other, which is cool because it will save me the cost of the flights back. Funny thing, I've lived all over this great country and the states where I've found the people most eager to argue came from two in particular. I'll let y'all figure out which two lol. In all seriousness though, please give respect to the site. It does make a difference for its future and the two of you do have valued opinions. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
