They now have to play 17th game. Imagine having to play OT at that 17th game and being injured.Florio had the best idea a few years ago: let the teams continue playing from the end of 4th quarter into overtime. Don’t reset field position or have a coin toss. Now late 4th quarter strategy is the determining factor of who has the ball and where. Also, you’d get more teams going for 2, trying to win, in the final minutes of regulation, so there would be fewer overtimes.
You could just eliminate OT all together to force teams going for 2 or end up in a tie.Florio had the best idea a few years ago: let the teams continue playing from the end of 4th quarter into overtime.

There were a lot of OT games this past season.You only play OT if the game is tied. More often in this case, OT is just a continuation of the game winning drive.

Not all players agreed with CBA. It's about safety for these guys too. I get that you want to watch the most carnage possible from your couch, but concussions and career ending injuries aren't a joke to these guys.These guys make over 100K per game, minimum. They can play an extra 20 snaps per season.
They agreed in the new CBA to 17 games and another playoff game. It’s always about the money for them. That’s fine. As a fan, it’s about the entertainment to me. They’re just *****ing because they don’t get an extra bonus for an extra 1% of labor.
Totally agree.Wow. This is actually a great idea by the NFL for once. It should have never been changed in the first place.
I am coming around to this notion. The formula is already set for ties to it is not an issue. I think take OT off the table altogether in the regular season. I think it is the most fair and also will keep the players fresh and less injured which is the main goal of the ultimate attrition sport.Could they just not have overtime during the regular season? Or would too many ties make the games less satisfying? I'd bet coaches would call the game differently in the waning minutes if OT wasn't an option.
It think that is worse than just allowing the game to end in a tie.Why not just continue the game until there is a score? No clock after the 4th, no extra time-outs, no coin toss, just play it where is! Could add some more strategy to the game as well.

Trump referred to his supporters as Patriots. Just a matter of time before they cancel that.“Which team name is more racist?” That should be the Twitter vote to decide the contest.
From what I recall, PHI always seemed to have an advantage in the NFCE race because of their tie.List of NFL tied games - Wikipedia

Between 1974-2011(38 seasons) 494 OT games, 13/season
Between 2012-2016(5 seasons) 83 OT games, 16.6/season
Between 2017-2020(4 seasons) 48 OT games, 12/season
I think have 12-16 ties per season is acceptable. It would be funny if one team end up with multiple ties in a season.

1967 two teams, colts and rams ended season with identical records in the coastal division, 11-1-2. Colts one loss was to the rams, so they missed the playoffs.List of NFL tied games - Wikipedia
