Football New overtime rules: Playoffs

Nickhead · 01-21-2019, 01:51 AM

In order for the game to end without the other team getting a chance, they have to:

Score a touchdown 6 pts
Score on a 50 yard field goal 3 points
Score on a 2 point conversion 2 points

If they don’t the other team only has to best the opposing score. If tied after first possession the full quarter must be played.

Or your shitty ****ing defense can stop them from scoring a touchdown.
There's nothing wrong with the overtime rules.

Or even better, line up correctly and win the ****ing thing in regulation.

Winner.

Like it or not, Defense and Special teams are part of the game.

3rd and 10, 3rd and 10, 3rd and 10, neutral zone infraction. Just because your defense sucks doesn't mean the system is unfair. Build a balanced team that is well coached. If you were afraid of it ending in a coin flip, be more aggressive in going for the TD before the end of the game.

same rules apply:

what if the patriots returned a kickoff for a touchdown, or they fumble and the chiefs return it for a touchdown.

its not about our defense being shitty, it's about how unfairly the nfl has treated the non coin toss winner in overtime.

52% win rate for coin toss winner, I believe.

I don't know if that's "unfair".

College is closer to 57% I believe.

Playoff should just add a 10 minute quarter without scoring rules that stop the game?

I agree, and always felt the same, BUT...

If the league is going to stop the game from a touchdown, with no extra point, then it should be more difficult for them to do so.

Not only that, but it utilizes a couple other facets of the team to achieve victory.

Unless you wanted to go the route of a simple kickoff returned for a touchdown, game is over, otherwise play the quarter.

Until the league says play the full quarter, this is the only alternative.

Boom.

Rules shouldn't be changed because teams suck.
The franchise went into the season with Bob ****ing Sutton... again. Results are expected.

Exactly. Play a period of time like basketball.

**Indian Chief** · 01-21-2019, 02:22 AM

I have mixed feelings on this, and have never heard anything that I 100% agree with. I do think that a full period (or maybe a 10 minute one) would be a solid option. Of course that opens up the possibility of being tied again. The other best suggestion is similar to college football, except you start at your own 25. Each team is guaranteed one possession, regardless of score, so you eliminate the coin toss factor.
