The half a quarter OT seems like a good idea, but the game goes into double OT the sudden death should take affect but the winning team should be required to score at least six points (1 TD or 2 FGs) which if one team kicks a FG the other team still has the opportunity to win

How about the current OT but require 6 points as you say?

EDIT: McNasty said it before me.

the best OT scenario would be this.

Play an entire 15 min OT quarter. The first team to have a lead of greater than six points, or the first team to gain 100 total yards in the OT period, whichever comes first. If none of those happen after the 15 min period, then the team with the most 1st downs (+/-) the net difference in the amount of penalties. For example, if team A has 5 first downs and team B has 7, but team A has 1 penalty and team B has 4, team A would have a score of 4 compared to team B's score of 3. If the net difference is tied, you take the average weight of your entire team, including the coaching staff, and whichever team has a lower avg weight would be declared the winner. If that is tied, you would take the avg attendance for each team over the past 3 games, and declare the winner based on that.

This is the most uncomplicated most straight forward way to do it in my opinion.

Believe it or not it would ruin what made this game so great.

I was a big BALTIMORE Colts fan when I was young and before our beloved Panthers. One of the 1st things I knew about football was the 1958 Championship game with the Colts fighting it out with NY Giants. (My family has a 78 speed record of the recording of the game). The 1st team to score, made it do or die. This was the 1st televised championship game. This game put football on the map. The sudden death overtime win with Unitas driving the Colts to victory is arguable the greatest game ever played. By far the most important one.

The sad fact that a ref had a hand in the outcome is outrageous. You have to leave it the way it is. Tradition. Get the refs out of the way and let the players decide.

The NFL should move to an OT like they play in soccer.

An extra 5 min period is not long enough. However, I think a full 15 min is a little too long.

I would vote for an extra 10 minute period to decide the game. If it is still tied....well, that is where I am not sure.

Hell, have them start kicking FG's from 35 yds......like penalty kicks. Go until one team misses.

I don't mind sudden death but you shouldn't be able to win by field goal in overtime. It's bullsh*t and lets the refs decide too much of the game.

I agree with you there. With Football being played in Domes more and more. Most Kickers are good from atleast 50 yards. The better ones even more. That means all you have to do is drive 40 yards or less to win.

Ochocinco would approve of this idea.

      PFF ranks the 2025 starting QBs

      By Seltzer · Posted

      Regardless of how we got here, any rational fan should be excited by how well Bryce played down the stretch. Anyone not happy about that level of play either doesn't know what they're looking at, or they're still trying to drive tired narratives. Obviously, Cam had an all-time rookie season, and I'm not putting the two in the same basket yet, but as someone who has watched every snap of Panthers football since the start of the new millennium (Im old), Bryce was playing at a higher level at the end of 2024 than Cam was at the end of 2012 (his 2nd season). Cam continued to develop into MVP form, something Bryce has to prove, but as someone who watched both (and will stan for Cam always), Bryce was playing at a higher level to end year 2 than Cam did.  Go watch the film if you dont believe me. None of that means anything for the future. But the people who said BY9 couldnt play in this league are wrong.   That being said, the only thing that matters is this year. #20 is perfectly fair IMO going into the season. I mean think about it, how would you rank him??!  His in-season turnaround is one of the wildest things I've ever seen... how do you rank a guy who looked like a massive bust in September and by January was consistently playing at a top 10 level? My excitement level is pretty damn high heading into this season. There were throws from the Chiefs game onward where Bryce had Drew Brees levels of anticipation. Im excited to see what he can do with a full deck on offense, something we really never gave Cam. Really hope and expect Bryce to move up this list this season.

      Not really, the only QB's (other than Anthony Richardson) ranked below him are new to their teams as a placeholder starter or drafted in 2024 or 2025, not a lot of gymnastics to get there. It's not about how many that is, if it's 20, 12, or 2... It means there isn't a QB who's team has committed to them for the long term right now that they have ranked below Bryce. That's not a great thing.

      Potential changes to playoff seeding

      By HaricotVert · Posted

      The changes to onside kicks were ridiculous and ruined a significant part of the game     It was already a high risk low reward play.  Why change it?
