Overtime Rules

Im ok with the current OT rules but wouldn't be mad if they were changed.  Last night's game was amazing.  I wouldn't mind the game being longer last night. 

 

I don't necessarily agree with the Bills would have won if they won the coin flip argument.  That 13 second drive easily could of lit a fire under the KC defense ass.  I would not have been shocked if that first OT drive would have ended in Bills punt or FG.  Watching the Chiefs march down the field in 13 seconds and tying the game had to be demoralizing for the whole Bills sideline.  The Bills were celebrating that last TD like they just advanced to the title game only for KC to kill all their momentum in 13 seconds.

If they make a change to OT, cool. If they don't, ok.  I don't think that coin flip cost the Bills the game.  I don't think people who feel it did are silly and I don't think people that feel it didn't are silly.  We all got to witness an amazing game which was a hell of a win for us fans.

Both teams had four quarters.

The game ended in a tie.

That's why you have overtime, and it's why the "well, they should have stopped them during regulation" argument is silly.

The question is what you do after the game ends in a tie. And at least for the playoffs, where the game can't end in a tie and double overtime is a possibility (Panther fans of all people should know that) it makes way more sense to ensure that both teams have a shot.

But if both teams score a TD you're right back where you started. The team that wins the coin toss will always have the advantage. 

You could predetermine who will have the ball in OT. Give the away team first possession in OT or something like that.

And I'm fine with that.

At least in this scenario, both teams hljave had an opportunity.

It's the second team never even getting to touch the ball thing that's bullsh-t.

I'm not crazy about the NFL or college overtime.

What I would propose would be a soccer style shootout at the end.

Best out of 5 two-point conversations.  If both teams are still tied after 5 attempts, it goes to sudden death.

Takes the coin toss out of the equation.  Doesn't really matter who goes first.

Takes the kickers out of the equation.

No guessing what the next team will do, you don't have to decide between kicking FGs or giong for TDs.

It would be great drama, awesome tv.

It would be quicker.

It would limit the extra plays for the players and therefore reduce injury.

The chiefs defense had 4 quarters to stop buffalos defense and failed.

Apparently, they did just enough.  Kansas City won.

They actually held buffalos defense to no points!  (I know what you meant.)

So basically what guys like Olsen want is for defense to matter thru four quarters but in OT if the defense can’t keep the opposing offense from scoring a TD on their first drive the offense should get a shot at doing the same.

Yes, both teams getting an equal opportunity is what he wants.

That's why I'm leaning towards college OT or a full OT period that's not sudden death.  The game has been tilted in the favor of the offense, so sudden death doesn't work as well anymore.

No. The game ended with a Chiefs victory.

Both teams had a shot. Buffalo had two shots and failed on both. 

We saw last week that 14 seconds wasn't enough to run a QB draw. We saw this week that 13 seconds was too long for the Buffalo defense. Hell, earlier in the day we saw a defense make a stand and win the game. 

All I'm hearing are excuses from people who wanted the Bills to win.

      Wild Idea.. Trade for Shemar Stewart

      By Basbear · Posted

      Best I heard its a clause the bungals want to add. It prevents them form paying the full guaranteed amount if triggered. No one knows the details of the clause, but guesses are it relates to off-field stuff. Stewart is in the right here. Before they signed burrow, chase, and Higgins they were the cheapest team in the league bar none. Unlike tepper or jarrah Jones or any other NFL ownership, all Mike brown owns is the beagals. Every other owner has many other money making businesses, not bungals.  I still remember when Brenston Bunker was starting on WFNZ and he told the story about the beagals telling him to pick a used cup form a huge pile, LOLS! They been on hard knocks and I remember Marvin lewis telling the players not to take home Gatorade bottles........* but in that case, I believe some players were taking a back pack and filling it up with drinks. Still you make millions(around 200million) in net profit and Im sure coke gave the team those bottles, still... Its a 32 team billion business, someone has to the cheapest.....Panthers were around the next cheapest team before tepper bought them and he has POURED millions upon millions into the team. He bought a bubble that Richardson never would, so the team had to gather in building during the rain. He spent millions on coofus machines that he just gave away like the bubble. Tepper made that AC trailer a thing. I've trashed him about his concerts and taking away end zone seats from fans. But the guy will spend money any way to efforts to better the team, dang I just remembered the deal he gave Rhule- more than Andy Reid at the time.  I know results have not came, but Id 100% take Tepper over Mike brown as a owner.

      There's no way they're shipping you some uniform you haven't seen lol.  I feel like they'd just refund you and ask if you wanted the new one when it launched. Probably just making the blues the primary, or a new helmet for a new alternate/variation.

      Man even after 5-12 seasons they are able to produce hype videos.
