heard on radio ........yesterday's win was like a walk off HR in the TOP of the 10th. Well the pitcher shouldn't have given up a HR. I would like to see both teams get the ball at least once in OT .
Best Quote/analogy I've heard about NFL OT .....love the comparison!
- Thread starter nutfromSEC117
- Start date
It's an awful system but hey, at least now, IF they "only" get a FG you get a shot!
The one thing I never hear brought up is that if both teams get the ball no matter what the second team has a huge advantage. Knowing that you have to go for it on 4th down every time changes the play call significantly and I think would be an unfair advantage.
1) let it be a tie
2) play a full 15 mins
3) make sure each team gets the ball once
4) use the silly college system
Which do you prefer?

In the regular season let it be a tie. In the post season play another 15 minutes.
There is nothing wrong with the current system. Stop the other team from scoring a freaking touchdown and you get the ball! People love to complain.
Heard the all time dumbest call on WFAN today. Instead of a coin flip to start OT he wanted to have a competition to see who gets the ball first. His suggestion was each coach pick a player and they run a 40 yard dash. Winning team gets the choice. Unreal.
I think the NFL gets it right. The old sudden death system gave the team with the ball a huge advantage, but forcing the receiving team to score a touchdown or hand the ball over is completely fair. A field goal doesn't win it, but if you can go the distance, that's enough to win in OT, in my opinion. I think it's more intriguing than the college OT rules, and less of a "shootout."
#4 but start out of field goal range (Like on your own 20). And 2 point conversions only.

I also thought they should have went for two...... Problem is if you fail, the head coach is subject to a lot more criticism then just playing the OT and losing..... I have no objection to the OT rules, not gonna be a sore loser in that regard.
Edit: It also would have been cool to win the game on that very last play and conversion, when all seemed lost..... Would have been a stunning defeat for the home team fans...

Current pro rule is OK.
But how about this modification of the college rule. In OT a team cannot kick a FG or an extra point to force another OT round. E.g., Team A kicks a FG to start OT. Team B must score a TD to win or it loses. Or if Team A scores a TD and kicks an extra point, Team B must score a TD and a 2 point conversion to win otherwise Team B loses. Most OTs would be over after the first round.
