What would you do with the new OT rule? Defer or take the ball?

100% you defer. If you stop them, great - a FG wins it. 

 

If they score a TD and kick the XP, then you can end the game with a TD and a 2ptr.

 

If they score a TD and a 2 ptr you can still tie it and take it to sudden death. 

[Gugny]

Defer.  No brainer.

[SlimShady'sSpaceForce]

Score the TD and make them follow you

 

then stop them.

Defer

You take the ball. It's not even a debate.

[loyal2dagame]

Always take the ball.

2 PT conversion had a 49.6 success rate

There's very little benefit in taking the ball.  If you defer you know exactly what you need to win.

If you take the ball,  you still know what you need to win. 1 more score than the other guys

Clearly take ball....Not even a second thought

No, one more point.  And it would be helpful to know how many.

In general I agree with you but what  if it is windy in a certain direction?    I think you take it because you then also take control of the clock.

 

Actually that brings up a question, lets say team A gets the ball and uses all of the clock except 13 seconds.  The other team gets a possession but do they only have 13 seconds or do they get however long their possession takes?

New 15 minutes if 2nd team hasn't finished their 1st posession

Only after both teams have possessions does it become sudden death

Defer….and it’s not even a question.  @GunnerBill explained why.  
 

those that disagree, why would you want the ball first?

No you don’t.  2 point conversions exist.  Missed xps occur.

Put the pressure on the other team first to try to stop or follow up a score

[GunnerBill]

The team who possesses first cannot win the game with its possession. 

 

The team that possesses second can.

Your team will end up with more pressure on the 2nd drive.

The pressure is on no matter what.  It’s OT in the playoffs…..

 

I look @ our QB…..and I know he’s going to get what he HAS TO GET.  Knowing what we need to accomplish on O is the advantage.

What you are in fact doing is giving them knowledge.  If you score that first TD, do you go for 2?
