Okay so these new rules are driving me nuts. I know the basics: Each team gets a possession. For example, if the team that wins the coin toss drives the ball down the field and kicks a fieldgoal, the other team still gets a possession and an opportunity to score. Conversely, If the team that wins the toss scores a TD, games over. Also if both teams score fieldgoals then its basically sudden death after that point. I got that part but everyday I keep hearing all of these stipulations and difference scenarios.
I thought I had a good grasp but I guess I dont. I had originally heard that an "on-side" kick would not be considered as the other team getting a possession if the receiving team does not recover. I thought that was pretty fair since each team should "officially" get a possession by physically having the offense on the field for a chance to drive for a TD.
Now, I just heard on the radio that if the receiving team does not recover and the kicking team actually gets the on-side kick recovery, thats the other teams possession because technically that was the team's official "chance" for a possession. I honestly find that pretty cheap and can ruin a game. Thoughts? Is that rule fair in your eyes?
I can see teams going for alot of 4th and 1's and probably kicking a ton of on-side kicks with these new rules. Please correct me if I'm wrong, I certainly hope so, thanks
