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.

I really do have to wonder... just how bad is Trey Lance?

He has to legit either be awful, or just in no way ready to play against a NFL defense. Jimmy G is just not good.

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.

49ers have won despite Jimmy.

Not sure they can pull a rabbit out of the hat three times against the Rams.

Surprised the Rams are still playing Akers after his fumble issues last week.

I’d much rather see a 49ers Vs. Bengals Super Bowl. The only reason I could give the Rams pause is cause Stafford deserves a ring.

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

Surprised they let him back on the plane. Must have a tremendous amount of faith in him, I know I wouldn't

Rams have more talent...49ers have coaching

Rams have more big names. Talent and depth? That’s up for debate.

This feels like an immenent Cam Akers fumble.

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.
