So I caught Around the Horn at the barbershop a little while ago and the Arizona/Green Bay game came up. Inevitably, it came down to two talking points: the coin toss and the overtime rules.
Normally I cannot stand Michael Smith because he's a biased prick who thinks he's smarter than he is, but he had a point that I agree with, and have been talking about for a long time: in overtime, both teams should get an opportunity to handle the football, regardless of who scores first.
My opinion is that the current rules favor the team that wins the toss, and puts immense pressure on a defense that might be gassed from a full 4 quarters, therfore the rules should change to both teams get an opportunity to handle the football, regardless who scores first.
In basketball, an overtime truly decides who was the better team, not one that happens to get lucky.
I am quite biased about this, as we had two opportunities to secure HFA had we been given an opportunity to score in either the Jets game or the Broncos game, so I'm posing this as a question:
Should we change the overtime rules?
