NFL needs to redo the overtime rules...

[hepcat]

There should not be a tie game in the NFL.  And just the same, they should ensure both teams get a fair chance to win the game.  

 

Make it sudden death after the first possession, regardless if each team gets a TD or a FG.  And the game goes on as if it's a playoff game.

College way!!!!!

College way!!!!!

 

Not gonna lie, it's straight up better than the NFL way.  They can either make it playoff rules OT or college but they need to get rid of ties.  Although, both teams blew great chances to win the game.

I'd rather they just played another quarter and call the game at the end of it, but I'm mostly ok with what they have now. At least you can't eek out a drive to the 40 and win with a FG without the other team getting a shot any more. That was some fuging bullshit.

[CamMoon]

Or just expand overtime like how its played in the playoffs.

[Mr. Scot]

There is no way in hell the Players Association would ever agree to that.

I agree no ties. Only thing they should change is add another quarter if it's still tied and go until someone scores to win.

A coin toss should never decide the outcome of a game.

[Happy Panther]

I'm fine with the rules as they are

Yall are being ungrateful for this game ending up in a tie.  We could have lost.  As for changing the rules, no.  The rules are perfect the way they are.  You really want to play 6 quarters of football?  Hard hitting, season ending injury type football for 6 quarters?  Come now.  I rather walk away with a tie, than winning it in the 6th quarter and losing Olsen or someone else to a season ending injury.

College way is better. They don't drag on as long as some say, especially once they ramp up the stakes after the 2nd OT. But here you guys are advocating for a 2nd OT quarter, which would be far more taxing on the players than anything else.

College OT is awful. It isn't real footballl.

[Goondal]

Use the college rules but do it from the 50 yard line so it is not an automatic FG for kickers that not named Nugent

[DM1]

we still would have lost people
