Anyone have a problem with the OT rules?

Heard people talking about how the OT rules are not fair to the team that loses the coin toss, because if they allow a td the game is over... some want the NFL to adopt the college rules.

Me personally, I think that if you want a chance to get the ball back your defense should actually play defense.

No college rule.  If anything maybe give each team to have at least one offensive drive no matter if the team who receives the ball scores on that first drive.  I am not saying I would agree with that, would like to see what the league and players thought... but that starting each team on the 25 like they do in College...no WAY.

A debate as old as the game itself.

College rules are sweet but it's a different game.  Putting an NFL offense on the 25 is putting the defense at a huge disadvantage.

I do agree both teams should touch the ball but if you can't even hold them to a field goal I think you should probably lose anyway.

It looks extra stupid when you have arguably the two best offenses in the league playing for a championship and you don't even let one of the teams even get a chance. Happy the Failcons lost and they shouldnt be blaming anyone but themselves for the game even going to OT, but the rules really favor the teams with the explosive offenses

Pretty sure several Falcon fans have a problem with it right now.

But frankly, so do I.

The obvious and most fair solution, as many have mentioned, is to guarantee each team one possession and then send it to sudden death if it's tied after that.

Even with yesterday's result, a part of me wished the Falcons were given one last offensive possession.

That way, the Falcons could pound that final nail in their own coffin.

    • Sorry man you lost me at "Teppers have evolved as owners". Limped into playoffs at 8-9 not even above .500 Tepper is trash as an owner bro and that's not even a discussion at this point. 37-83 w/l ratio. Nuff said.... Morgan tho, he's cooking and it ain't cuz of Teppers leadership
    • After listening to Morgan's presser twice, I came away with some key beliefs. First of all, I don't think he's a bullshitter. What you see is what you get. When he says something, he means it.  The Teppers really have evolved as owners. Morgan has mentioned how they're easy to work with--a pleasure to work with a few times now. There seems to be a good relationship between all of them (and include Dave Canales on that). We'll see if it lasts. Yes, no one wanted to come to Carolina with the previous management, but that seems to have changed. The team signed arguably the top Edge, LB and OT on the market, two of them on pretty good deals and one on what I'll say is "not a bad one." And, credit Sunshine Dave "Flowers and Cotton Candy" Canales for helping to change the culture. Morgan mentioned getting guys--and I'm paraphrasing--that are not only great football players but great people. Don't look for us to be acquiring any James Pearce types anytime soon, just saying. We'll see if that holds true in the future. Dan Morgan really has set up the Panthers to take the BPA/BAP. He mentioned it at least a couple of times, and he doesn't seem pressured to pinpoint a particular position. He just wants quality players that will help the team. This is how it's going to be (to your joy or dismay, probably for as long as he's here), and personally I love it. Many of us know how Morgan was when he played: aggressive! That's what he's going to be when making acquisitions. He explicitly said it, and emphasized it. All avenues are open (think FA, waivers...the draft)! Personally, as long as it's controlled aggression and not reckless aggression, I love it.  On KP: "Mobility is big in this league."  He basically says if another QB is the BPA while drafting--we're going by our board, people--we're going to add them.        ...  
    • Canes are so fascinating. Despite inconsistent defense and poor goalie play they keep winning.
