Just thought I'd give my thoughts about what could be done about it. I hate ties and I wouldn't ever allow one..you just play till it's over..like in baseball. I know that could extend games a bit, but more likely than not some team will get tired quicker and one tean will win.
I don't like the college system for the pros...runs scores up and gives away touchdowns too quickly. SO a few TDs in OT is teh same as one earned in long drives?? Just don't like it and even worse when looking at stats.
I would have an OT period that would be played till the end. 10 minutes (nothing scared about this except it's not 15 which is too long and would allow BOTH teams to get the ball. OK..maybe a team COULD keep it for the alloted time, but rare...and if they did, I THINK they would deserve to win.) Since it's played to the full, a team could go for 2 or not, all depending on what they think would happen in the 2nd OT period..but most likely at the end of this 10 minutes, someone would win.
If it's tied, the team that did not get the ball in the first OT would get it then. And in this period, it's sudden death, so that any score wins.
Just an idea and not sure it's all good or bad, but it's a thought.
