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.

      XL could easily be the last dog at the bowl for WR production next year.  That could leave him around 200-300 yards which would be disastrous.

      Well sure, that's where the disconnect is then. If Thielen only gets 300-400 yards and T-Mac is healthy for the full season, then I'm with you guys, in that scenario there is absolutely zero excuse for him to not put up over 1,000 yards.   In fact, I'll let you double that, if Thielen has only 600 yards, then again, my expectations are for T-Mac to surpass the 1k mark with ease. But his game has never been about his physical abilities, so even if he loses a half a step, he's still the same player who is a savvy route runner who will get open and Bryce will continue to find him due to their chemistry.  Particularly since Bryce isn't a QB who forces things, he takes what the defense gives him.  So when teams focus on T-Mac and Thielen is more free to find those holes in the defense than he has the last two years, I don't think Bryce is going to ignore him. If someone wants to argue for T-Mac getting to 1,000 yards, personally, I'd say those yards would be far more likelier to come from XL and Coker than Thielen.  And that has nothing to do with XL or Coker, but that I'm still a firm believer in Thielen being able to still get 50-60 yards a game, again, particularly as he'll have less defensive attention on him than in either of his 2 seasons with us so far. Just because T-Mac is our #1 of the future who will have the ball forced to him at times, doesn't mean he needs to be forced into that role from day 1 when we have 3 very legitimate WR options next to him. Let the rookie grow into the role and the NFL game, we have that ability to do so because of Thielen, XL, and Coker.

      Spot on. He's only 20 and his height 6'2 and weight 230lbs might make him more of an off-ball LB possibility. He's a multi-year project
