As I said above, while I get why they do ties, I just think it is really anticlimactic for a game, especially like this one, to end in a tie. We just watched a 4 hour football game and we didn't get a winner. What makes it worse it that it was a really entertaining game that, had their been a winner, would have been in contention for game of the year. But no tie can be considered in that conversation if you ask me. I just think that as good of a game as this was, it will largely be forgotten sooner rather than later because there was no winner. I get people wanting to go to the college rules. But those rules do seem to have inherent flaws in terms of strategy and wanting to go second to know exactly what you need to do. I think a better solution is to do what the NFL does, but just repeat it until you get a winner. Coin toss. Possession by both teams. Repeat until you get a winner. Maybe make going for 2 mandatory. Or, if you don't want to do that, just keep the rules the way they are, but just don't have a time limit. Have a clock to keep track of all important timing issues, but make it so there isn't an end of game after a certain time. Make it so if what happens tonight happens, that the next score wins no matter what. The game just ends when the next team scores whether it happens in 10 minutes, 15 minutes, 23 minutes.....whatever it is. Just play until you have a winner. But these teams laid it on the line all week leading up to the game and then 4 hours during the game. There really should be a winner for the work they put in. -
AJ and Bosa showed up big in garbage time....

It’s unique, but it’s not cool. Would rather always have a clear winner. -

The reason I like 10 minutes better than 15 is that it gives each team an opportunity to employ strategies to win the game without the coin flip having an outsized impact. If they increase the time to 15 minutes, Green Bay probably receives instead of kicks on the coin toss. They score a FG, Dallas scores a FG. Now there's 5 minutes left for Green Bay to march down the field... essentially the coin flip giving them the ability to control sudden death. With 10 minutes... there's a higher likelihood of 2 possessions, meaning you could have scenarios like going for 2 after a TD to break a tie, milking the clock to prevent a third possession (like GB did here), etc. It's more interesting from a strategic point of view and puts more power into the team's hands to determine the outcome over a coin flip. -

Seems like there are at least one a year now when it was exceedingly rare for decades. -
McD is a good leader of men and I think he's a quality HC. But he needs to get a Jim Schwartz type hire and be hands off. We need to get bigger and more physical on D. Pretty much any team can run at will on us if they commit to it. They rely too much on turnovers. Can't get any heat with front 4. Maybe we're overreacting. Saints only put up 19. Not terrible. But the defense just isn't passing the eye test at this point.

Parsons traded to Green Bay, given $188 million contract
Alphadawg7 replied to Roundybout's topic in The Stadium Wall
Lmao - $47m per year(franchise QB money), 2 first round picks, and a pro bowl DT for a one dimensional pass rush specialist - just to go 0-1-1 against the Browns and Cowboys - who dropped a 40 piece despite not having their best offensive weapon in CeeDee Lamb. That kind of comp you better be adding wins to the win column to the degree a QB does. And not only is he not having that kind of impact, they aren’t even winning lol. I didn’t think he was worth anything close to what he got, and I still don’t. I said it before when the trade happened, that I didn’t think this moved the needle much for the Packers and that the Lions and Eagles are still better. And so far, nothings happened to change my mind. -
Week 4, Ain'ts v. Bills, GAME BALLS!

White had a horrible first half, but he shook it off and came out flying to the ball in the second half, making a number of key tackles, especially the 4th down on Kamara. -

I thought it was great. No problem with this game ending in a tie. -
Punting is just surrendering anyway.

I like them and it kinda feels like a player safety thing -
I went today...then drove 6 hours post game back to Westchester. Wasn't on the boards as I was there. So haven't drilled in to the chatter here yet I am still mystified about the clock management and play calls near end of game. Yes Bills were up by 2 scores but ... Had a chance to run a running play, get it down to 2 minute warning, then kick the FG after the 2 minute warning. Why ?? Bothered me the entire way down. This game had "Any Given Sunday" written all over it. Would have sucked to make that drive after a loss.

Am I alone in thinking ties are kinda cool?! They're a cool novelty & relic from the past when they used to be much more common. It's like spotting a non-native bird in your backyard or seeing someone with all their teeth in West Virginia! -

Think he took a shot early in season on illegal play. More to protection than just him. I recall a bad snap never.. so we can discuss. But I say carry on .. -
