wagon127 Posted October 13, 2019 Posted October 13, 2019 (edited) For the NFL, There should be no field goals in over time. Only touchdowns. Once each team has had an equal number of possesions, but a different score the game ends. Edited October 13, 2019 by wagon127

KD in CA Posted October 13, 2019 Posted October 13, 2019 So many awesome ideas for how to completely change the rules of the game because it happens to be the fifth quarter. Hey, I know! In OT you only need 8 yards for a first down, and running backs are only allowed to carry the ball in their left arm!

papazoid Posted October 13, 2019 Posted October 13, 2019 NO to college OT rules. i prefer they play one additional full quarter. 15 minutes. no ties, no sudden death, no worrying about each team getting at least one possession
The Dean Posted October 13, 2019 Posted October 13, 2019 I completely despise the college OT. So, NO! 2
PromoTheRobot Posted October 13, 2019 Posted October 13, 2019 OT should be settled with Rock Paper Scissors, best two of three. 1

Mrbojanglezs Posted October 13, 2019 Posted October 13, 2019 I do not like ties so they have to do something to correct that
LSHMEAB Posted October 13, 2019 Posted October 13, 2019 I really hate the coin toss aspect of the current OT format. It's better than it was before considering all they needed previously was a FG. Still don't like it. I don't think there's any way to fix it unfortunately. I don't believe an XFL like scrum is an option.

In Summary Posted October 13, 2019 Posted October 13, 2019 No. OTs are rare enough that I prefer not to have a carnival game decide the winner. 1 1

Orlando Buffalo Posted October 13, 2019 Posted October 13, 2019 5 hours ago, Augie said: To me it’s a little like (but not nearly as horrible as) soccer going to penalty kicks to decide the game. I don’t like it. Keep playing the game we started out playing. I see why they do it, but I just never learned to like it. Winning the coin toss and going on D first is a huge advantage as you know exactly what you have to do on offense. Having said all that, I see no perfect solutions. I like college overtime rules far better than NFL since it is a brutal game and these teams are pretty evenly matched if tied after 60. I also want to say soccer penalty kicks is worst way to end- like basketball doing foul shots to decide overtime. Soccer should do like hockey and have OT be 6 players per team decide it.
El Guapo Posted October 13, 2019 Posted October 13, 2019 Just let a tie stand after regulation during the regular season. In the post season, go to last year’s college rules. Why are are we so averse to a tie? It has implications in the tie breaker rules, so it’s not like the game wasn’t played. 1
MJS Posted October 13, 2019 Posted October 13, 2019 I HATE college overtime with a burning passion. Please no. Noooooo!!!! 1 1

Ties worked fine for decades in college and pros. 2
