Rules of the Game

[DoWorkBson]

The field goal has to be on the opening drive right? Anything after that a field goal still wins.

[SpeedOFLight]

if a team makes a FG, overtime is not over and the other team gets a try. if either team scores, it's over.

o ok. Thanks for the info!

Yea if you go for a field goal on the opening drive the other team gets a shot .. if you stall or miss the field goal .. the other team can kick a field goal to win.

I'm pretty sure those new overtime rules only apply to the postseason.

From http://www.nfl.com/news/story/09000d5d81d817d7/article/postseason-overtime-rules:

The modified sudden death system of determining the winner shall prevail when the score is tied at the end of regulation playing time of postseason NFL games. The system guarantees each team a possession or the opportunity to possess, unless the team that receives the opening kickoff scores a touchdown on its initial possession.

» Following a three-minute intermission after the end of the regulation game, play will be continued in 15-minute periods until a winner is declared. Each team must possess or have the opportunity to possess the ball unless the team that has the ball first scores a touchdown on its initial possession. Play continues in sudden death until a winner is determined, and the game automatically ends upon any score (by safety, field goal, or touchdown) or when a score is awarded by the Referee for a palpably unfair act. Each team has three time-outs per half and all general timing provisions apply as during a regular game. The try is not attempted if a touchdown is scored. Disqualified players are not allowed to return.

Bump ... this is probably the only sticky worthy thread in awhile

Well most would say the 3-4 is effective vs the pass but not the run .. that's not entirely true it all depends on the person calling the plays and schemes you use. For instance the steelers run the 3-4 but are capable of stopping run just as good as anyone and some worship at the feet of dick lebeau. I guess thereis no reason why we can't switch to one. Rather I figure 4-3 is just what marty preferred to hire.

there are at least 7 reasons why we can't switch to a 3-4 base..

Explain Free Agency in detail along with relevant NFL Dates.

Franchise Tags and their intricacies.

Current salary cap restrictions.

Oh, why can't football tees be red?

Well if you know the reasons don't ask the questions I never said I knew everything :p

However technically .. we can do whatever the hell we want .. its more like 7 reasons why we shouldn't.

Why do NFL coaches insist on using the Fade route in the red zone. I watch a lot of NFL games and it seems that the success rate of that play is pretty low.
