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.

      The Panthers Huddle Offseason Special

      By raleigh-panther · Posted

      The Panthers Huddle is usually just propaganda …this one was actually good im feeling good about the Morgan and Canales marriage  the proof is ‘in the pudding’ however  …and have to remember a first time head coach and players who have never played together before but they can’t possibly be worse than last year  the wild card to all this,  too,  is Young  I wish I felt better about him but I don’t  Morgan says he wants ‘dawgs’ not ‘dogs’ I.e. pit bulls vs poodles…I see young as the latter, not the former  Regardless, life is full of surprises…maybe he is a lot more than I see.  I’m not a scout or coach

      Where would the Panthers be if they sat Bryce Young last season?

      By mountainpantherfan2 · Posted

      There are a lot of moving parts to this type of questions and way too many variables to consider to really predict how the outcome would have been any different in 2023 with Dalton starting more than just one game.  But instead of focusing on that Seattle game, another game, and the game following it, are more intriguing to me.   Week 16 vs Green Bay.  Young had the best game of his rookie season.  23/36 (64%) for 312 with 2 TD and no INT.  Thielen (6/94), Chark (6/98) and Tremble (4/59) all had huge plays in the passing game. The running game was a different story.  Hubbard (16/43) and Sanders (3/3) combined for just 46 yards rushing.  Mays was starting at LG and Jensen at RG.  The offensive line was able to protect Young just enough to keep the Panthers in the game until the very end.  But this wasn't because they were playing at a high level, rather the Packers defense played horrible this game. But this horrible defensive effort by the Packers allowed us to see what could be possible if Young had time to process and throw. Fast forward to Week 17 vs Jacksonville.  The offense was shut out and the offensive line allowed 6 sacks and 8 more QH's.   If you go back and watch these games back to back, the line play if very noticeable.  When Young had time in process and move, he was spot on.  When the line collapsed, like most QBs, he was ineffective. When you draft a QB 1st overall in the draft, especially if you trade up to do so, you hope to get a QB that can make plays despite the struggles around him.  Think Newton his rookie year.  Should the Panthers have traded up in the 2023 draft to the 1st overall and should they have drafted Young at that spot? My opinion is no to the first question and no QB in 2023 was worth trading up to take in the top 10.  Neither Stroud, Richardson or Levis would have been worth it.   But none of them would have fared any better than Young either with the Panthers, in my opinion.  Stroud had a good season in Houston but he didn't have a Cam Newton or Lamar Jackson season.  He needed slightly above average talent in one of the worst divisions to make the playoffs. He had the season we were hoping for in Carolina but wasn't going to get with Young or Stroud. Now, I'm not trying to put Young up on a pedestal here.  There are a lot of questions that still surround him and his ability to be QB1 on the Panthers in the future.  But the issue last year wasn't just the play at the QB position.  And really, I don't think the WR issues were as much as people make them out to be.  The real issue on this offense was the line and the running game.  If your line can't get a push to run the ball or pass block to pass the ball, you have no offense.   Start Young. Start Dalton.  Draft Stroud, Richardson or Levis.  Kidnap Mahomes.  Doesn't matter, I think the end result would have been the same.

      If there’s any year to be aggressive with it, it’s this one.
