So the Saints lose the toss then an iffy PI call on third down gives Bears field goal position and the game. This sudden death in football is retarded, they really need to just play a whole quarter, maybe 10 minutes, and decide it that way.

It does suck. Either a full quarter or something like college but each team starting at midfield would work for me. Coin toss ? No thanks.

A full quarter creates a big disadvantage for both teams the following week and is too physically tolling. College style would taint so many stats and is just too amateur backyard football esque.

The other team should just have a shot to match the team who receives first, that simple.

Saints are done for the season now, as either a Falcons, Cowboys, Eagles or Redskins win already mathematically eliminates them from playoff contention this weekend. Bears can be tied for the NFC North lead (losing the tiebreaker however) with a Vikings loss Sunday, whose final three games consist of the Cardinals, Falcons and Giants.

Neither one of them were going to make the playoffs, that rule just annoys me. I'm still mad about the Jets game.

Disco Volante

Bears still have a shot, Vikings lose @ Cardinals this week and they're tied for first place in the NFC North record wise.

Vikings then have to face the Falcons & Giants in the final two games of the season.

Someone posted here the idea that the first team to score 7 points wins the game. I like that idea for overtime.

The Saints lost because a corner was simply not fast enough to cover his man and had to interfer to keep his man from scoring and hope they miss the field goal

They didn't - End of story

If you don't like ther NFL rules then go watch the NBA instead of crying like babies - The NBA has FULL overtime quarters

BTW: Its dissapointing that a team with an offense like N.O. and a top QB in Brees has does not have a good record - Once again as always it shows you that without a good defense you have NOTHING

Belichick is on record saying he doesnt like the current overtime system.

PATRIOT64

If BB does not like it that is his opinion and it is respected but does not make him right

Do you have a link to where he said this anyway?

BB rarily says anything bad about referee call or NFL rules (except the camera rules thing of course)
