For those discussing OT rules. OT should be sudden death. It should never be changed in the playoffs. That said these favoring offense calls should go in OT as well. It should be a standard that the defense gets the benefit of the doubt in OT. 
 

I watched the six OT hockey game in the bubble. It’s fun. But it’s not fun. We don’t need college shoot outs in the NFL. It’s sudden death. If your defense can’t cut it. Get the fug out.

Thanks, still learning the game. 

No problem.  30 years ago they would have stopped the clock and called him out of bounds.  When games started lasting 3-1/2 hours without going into overtime, they tightened that up more making this call more and keeping the clock running.

One of my best friends was a Chargers season ticket holder for a decade. When they left San Diego, it was like the franchise no longer existed to her. They would have been so much better off in San Diego. They needed a new stadium, but that shouldn't have been an impossible task.

Even on a financial/cultural level I don't understand how it benefits the state to take resources away from a cul-de-sac city like that. W Herbert attendance would be up, they'll be in the playoffs next year

College format is interesting and far and away better than the NFL format.  The NFL format was mostly designed during the old days, when NFL games tended to be very low scoring and dominated by defense.  With the rules changes making offense easier, the OT format needs to become more modern and closer to being fair/even for both teams.  Some model of the college style would be a vast improvement.  But the NFL tends to be slow to adapt major changes to the game.  

That being said, kudos to the Bengals defense.  Amazing that they kept Mahomes out of the end zone from late in the second qtr, thru the second half and one series in overtime.  

I don't mind the format. I don't want to see a game go on forever.

      With the first pick, don't draft a QB? Draft a DE? C'mon!

      This draft is 2023 all over again, it's not hard to see. QB's who don't grade out as high first round prospects while at the same time, the following draft class looks to be loaded with elite QB prospects. Drafting a QB just because you need one (or making a bad trade to make said draft pick), when there isn't one worthy of that draft pick, is how you ruin franchises, just look at us right now.

      I upgraded to the S24+ a few weeks back. Very happy with it.

      LOL... Yet again proving you can't look below anything than what you see on the surface Mock drafts ARE NOT draft grades They are what people think will happen.  They are mocking teams taking QB's in the top 5 of the draft because that's just historically how drafts go regardless of the grades on the QBs.  Almost every draft expert, even those mocking QB's going high, have said time and time again that none of these QB's actually grade out as those type of picks. This is again, where I say you don't like to actually read what I have to say, because I already explained it. 2022 the exact same thing happened, mock drafts had guys like Pickett and Willis going in the Top 5 because that's just what teams usually do, but GM's listened to their prospect grades and knew they weren't worth taking that high, so they didn't. It's not to say QB's won't go that high this year, but it's to say that they aren't graded out as elite QB prospects.   And yes, I've never said I'm not a T-Mac homer. But me being that doesn't change that he will be the highest graded offensive player in this year's draft, at a position we haven't been able to solve since we lost Smitty.  Taking him makes all the sense in the world, my bias aside.
