SlimShady'sSpaceForce Posted November 9, 2019 Posted November 9, 2019 Is this a hockey question or a football question?
Luka Posted November 9, 2019 Posted November 9, 2019 College rules. Nothing more exciting in sports in my opinion.

Football should have something similar to college overtime, just have them start at their own 25, not the opponents 25. 1 hour ago, Luka said: College rules.

machine gun kelly Posted November 9, 2019 Posted November 9, 2019 It will never happen, but wish we went back to the old way in first score wins and go back to 15 minutes. We’re not even close to as long as college football games. 1
White Linen Posted November 9, 2019 Posted November 9, 2019 One thing I know for sure is watching the NFL as it is now - is not near as enjoyable as it once was for me. 1

Wintertime when streets weren't plowed for hours, sometimes a day after a heavy snowfall and cars packed the snow to near ice like conditions on our dead end street.....tackle football in the street. Another youth street playing memory when they came out with the street hockey ball replacing the too bouncy tennis ball. Lots of guys didn't want to play goalie anymore with just a baseball and hockey glove. Those orange street hockey balls were lethal and worse in the cold. 1

It it would have to be full OT not sudden death the other option...have OT carry over from the 4th quarter. If it’s a tied game with a minute left the team with the ball can do a normal drive and thrn carry over to OT and settle it then . or Home field advantage means home team gets the choice of ball first.

Nextmanup Posted November 9, 2019 Posted November 9, 2019 Sure, why not do something crazy? First, in the NFL, OT doesn't happen all that often. Second, when it does, the entire objective is to find a winner to the game, not continue playing indefinitely. They've already played a full game. What makes 3 on 3 hockey fun is that there is so much room out there and not enough players to go around. One quick mistake and an odd man rush breaks out or a breakaway. It's exciting as hell. 7 on 7 football would create tons of space tons of pressure on players not to screw up, and huge game breaking plays, which is what fans enjoy watching. 1

CommonCents Posted November 9, 2019 Posted November 9, 2019 What’s the last major change that made the game better? Just leave it alone. It’s already on the ropes. 1

I imagine you give a crap when a team your cheering for doesnt get a chance to score in over time. People will say, why didnt the losing team's defense make a stop. But the winning team's defense was never asked to make a stop. So if you have two strong offenses, you literally just desided a game with a coin flip. Im sorry, sudden death only works in hockey and soccer.

Figster Posted November 10, 2019 Posted November 10, 2019 (edited) When I seen the thread/ vote title I was thinking hmmm, interesting, 2 extra goal scorers on the ice, it might work. Edited November 10, 2019 by Figster
