/dev/null Posted January 21, 2019 Posted January 21, 2019 both teams get an equal number of offensive possessions 2 point conversions required after a TD all replays initiated from the booth 10 minute period, 4th quarter rules if tied after period, both kickers line up for a 40 yard FG. if both make, move back to 45, 50, 55, ..., until one kicker misses. if both kickers miss same distance, game regular season game is a tie. for post season, if both kickers miss same distance move back to previous kick spot and rekick

All they had to do was score and stop Miami on 2 (maybe 3) drives. Not sure where you're going with this. Bottom line is that football involves both offense and defense. You have the ball, it's on you to score. You don't have the ball, it's on you to stop them from scoring. Both games yesterday showed why D matters in the league. When you have to get a stop, your D needs to step up.

Well, defense might not mean much in the modern NFL, but it sure as hell means something in overtime when you lose the coin toss. Chiefs used all their available cap space and draft capital on one side of the ball and paid the price today. Pretty much this. The Chiefs had the worst D of any of the final 4 teams and it showed yesterday.
Call_Of_Ktulu Posted January 21, 2019 Posted January 21, 2019 OT should be each team starts on the 50 yard line until the other team doesn't score.

To the BOLD - this brings up the in season threads we've seen (and recently) - Defense wins Championships. In the regular season Scoring wins out as entertaining (and the obvious W) But in the playoffs. It all comes down to the Defense.
4_kidd_4 Posted January 21, 2019 Posted January 21, 2019 Put 15:00 on the OT clock and play til 0:00 for playoff games.
Mark80 Posted January 21, 2019 Posted January 21, 2019 They had all game for it to be fair. It's called winning it in regulation. Don't like OT rules, then win it in regulation.

Kcs defence needed just to just make 1 more play and they couldn’t 4 of the highest scoring teams made the final 4 meaning nobody could stop them. You tell me where its fair for Mahomes to tie a football game in 30 some seconds just to never see the ball again in overtime? Its a simple fix, play a whole quarter.
Wayne Cubed Posted January 21, 2019 Posted January 21, 2019 (edited) Sorry I don't buy the "just play defense" argument. Were the Pats asked to "just play defense" and I somehow missed that? The NFL is actually a hilarious league, change all the rules in favor of the offensive side in regulation play then in OT, to determine the winner, the team that plays the better defense wins. Good stuff. Also, why not have it setup that teams KNOW who gets the ball first going into OT. Home team, better seed, most yards, anything. That way there is more incentive to finish the game BEFORE OT. A coin flip basically encourages a team to take a chance that they may get the ball first. Edited January 21, 2019 by Wayne Cubed 1

Straight Hucklebuck Posted January 21, 2019 Posted January 21, 2019 WGR is whining a lot today about this. I don’t want to see a change unless it’s a full 15 minute standard play extra session. Otherwise Chiefs, hold the Pats to a FG and you have a chance. Too bad.
Steve O Posted January 21, 2019 Posted January 21, 2019 Just now, Foxx said: personally, i prefer Rock, Paper, Scissors. Rock paper scissors is still a game of chance. At least there is some skill required in the scrum.
