Be honest: Do the OT rules to end games need changing?

Somehow the NFL doesn’t want to recognize that defense is as important as offense.

Chevrolet · Mar 1, 2019

I get where Andy and the chiefs are coming from. That was a crushing loss for them. I can see how they would feel that way and really if the situations were reversed many on this board would say the exact same thing.
In all candor, a coin toss should not be so important in deciding a game.
I do not think it has anything to do with the Patriots.
A crushing loss like that in front of your home fans with the #1 seed and as favorites leaves a bad taste in your mouth for a long time.

Ray Lewis, who killed two people, has been saying this all year on inside the nfl.

Ps: really hoping bb drafts defensive playmakers early in this draft.

Seriously... How many AFCCG losses to the Pats have been catalysts for rule changes over the years?

Dunno, but if we keep winning SBs expect more. It is an entertainment product after all and most fans are even worn out on rooting against us at this point. Most of them just are resigned to seeing us in SBs until the B&B express leaves the building,.

This is beyond pathetic. Your D got not one, not two, but THREE 3rd and 10s in OT and couldn't get off the field and now it's the OT rules' fault?

Chiefs propose replace toss with Alphabetical order for team names in OT!!

Tb12goesinya · Mar 2, 2019

I can honestly say that if Chiefs won toss and scored a TD on opening drive I wouldn't even think twice about the OT rule, and I would think anyone complaining was being a whiny punk. It is a solid rule.

They had the game in regulation but chose to go for the tie instead.

Don't remember Atlanta looking for a rule change after the Super Bowl.

I wouldn't give them too much credit for that. When you are up 25 and get the game taken away from you the way they did it's best to just keep your damn mouth shut.

I hope he drafts versatile players who fit his system, put team first and have the skill set that fits what we do.
“Playmaker” can be contrary to that.

All respect for Chiefs has evaporated. I get all the hate for the Patriots, but how can anyone root for all these b1tch teams?

not a good look for them

Here's my suggestion - each team gets the ball at the same time at the other team's 45 and both offenses and defenses are out at the same time it would be pure ****ing chaos and mayhem and it would be perfect. If you don't agree you suck **** by choice.

I like it. The units should be able to work together too. So like the same team's defense on the field could catch a pass from their offense or receivers on the same team's offense could bat down passes if they happen to get downfield.

If this suggestion isn't taken seriously for OT, perhaps it would spice up the pro bowl.

I think a change in the OT rule is in order. If the coin flip went to KC we might have been *****ing.

I can honestly say no I would not be *****ing about the rule. Down on my knees praying "hold them to a FG. Hold them to a FG. please, for the love of everything holy please only give up the FG" sure. If they did give up a TD then I would be pissed at BB and the D, the rule as is, is fair. Make one stop, just one, and your offense gets a chance to win. It's not the rule they want changed it's the outcome of the game. I hated it when it was sudden death drive 30-40 yards and end it on a FG. Having to drive 70-80 with an in your face TD is much better.

Here’s one where everybody wins: No OT and Roger Goodell decides who win. Less snaps and safer.

Post of the year?

Ice_Ice_Brady · Mar 2, 2019

This is a careful what you wish for situation. You want to guarantee that Brady gets the ball in OT?

I agree that the change to a TD to win was better than the old way. If there are two strongly offensive teams playing each other in a back and forth gane, then it's about the coin toss. I have a problem with that if we are in the losing end.

Atlanta proposes 25 Point Mercy Rule

Be honest: Do the OT rules to end games need changing?

Should both teams get a possession in OT?

Yes

No rules are fine as they are
