Fix the OT Rule for Playoff Games--That was Stupid

[Nextmanup]

In a crazy game like that where everyone is scoring all the time, you HAVE to give BOTH TEAMS the ball at least once! 

 

We win the coin toss and maybe Josh flies down and scores..he was totally en fuego the whole 4th quarter.

 

Can't finish a game of this magnitude with only 1 team touching the ball in OT.

 

Play 5 minutes or something.

 

 

[Big Blitz]

No our coaches are an embarrassment 

[Sweats]

Well, we cant change the rules just cause our team lost, which they should have won, but ****** playcalling and a sieve for a D just aint gonna cut it in championship games.

 

Dont blame the rules, blame the coaches.

Agree 100% 

 

We should have never lost this game.

I've said this for 10 years. Put 10 mins on the clock and let em play in ot 

[Lionel Hutz]

Stop. We couldn’t stop them with 13 seconds left in regulation. 3 straight drives we couldn’t stop the Chiefs. 

[Billsfanatic8989]

Idk.

 

I just need a few months to get over this.

 

OT rule? Yeah change it.

 

I just feel sick.

This has happened for decades now when two elite QB’s play each other. 

 

There’s no answer for it other than to play defense.

The kickoff decision was criminal...I get that.

 

But it is Mickey Mouse and amateurish to let the game end with only 1 team touching the ball on offense, especially in a game like this.

 

I wouldn't be surprised if the rule is changed this off season because of this game.

It sucks, and the narrative that Mahomes beat Allen is going to be bull####, they just won the coin toss.

Nope.

 

OT rules are fine as is.

 

How about coach and defend better with 13 seconds left?

2 wrongs don't make a right.

 

The coach can make a terrible call on the kickoff AND the OT format can be bull#### too!

This is the most useless thread started after this loss and thats saying something. That is the rule, no matter how stupid, get over it.

 

We need to be able stop 40y in two plays in 10 seconds to avoid OT next time.

[K-9]

Agreed. The NFL deprived the fans of seeing Josh Allen with a chance because of something totally outside any player or coach’s control. Fox the OT rules.

Totally agree, said that to my girl, I would feel the same if the Bills won. It was an amazing game, and Josh Allen is a STUD!

This is a cool story, thanks for sharing. 

[Mrbojanglezs]

OT rule is the least of our concerns

I would prefer no overtime in the regular season and just add quarters for playoffs.  But failing to close out in regulation was the real problem here.
