Then they are screwd. But I guess that goes to your point about possibly defending first instead of going on offense. Are the playoff overtimes 15 minutes? In this instance, yes. In sudden death, the odds of it going past 10 are slim. I just thought it was an interesting proposal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I should let the resident Goodell answer this, but the answer is obvious. Player safety. I didn't vote because I wasn't sure what "old OT with 2 quarters" was. My opinion is it should just be sudden death for 15:00 like it used to be. I HATE the college one. It's goofy IMHO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems very negligible in terms of player safety. I mean how many OT games would go past the 10 minute mark? 5-10 a year maybe? That's not really going to make an impact, but you probably increase the amount of ties a year from 0-1 to 4 or more which is really going to impact the game.

SlimShady'sSpaceForce Posted October 3, 2018 Share Posted October 3, 2018 The 10 min OT helps with scheduling and minimizes game overlap and playing until midnight Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, two full quarters. 20 hours ago, bills11 said: Just go to the college system problem solved it's fun to watch for sure, I think making them go for two on every TD would help shorten it up as well.

Buffalo Barbarian Posted October 3, 2018 Author Share Posted October 3, 2018 19 hours ago, EmotionallyUnstable said: I’d like to see a hockey style shoot out. Each team gets five plays from a short field (2, 5 maybe 10 yard line). A touchdown is a score and everything short, isn’t. Most scores win. Or just put them on the 5 yrd line and last team to score wins ( no extra point tries, or field goals just TDs). You get four downs to score like normal. If both teams don't score they each get a new set of downs. 18 hours ago, SoCal Deek said: Did I miss something? Why is this even an issue? Are teams complaining? Did someone get screwed? ‘Fixing’ overtime is way, way down there on the list of things I think have gotten worse under Roger Goodell. just hate all the ties. as do most.

I think the 10 minutes combined with the FG not winning the game is a recipe for disaster. Teams seem to milk the clock more than usual. If they want an abbreviated OT then just do the college thing and make them go for two on any touchdown. I like the the traditional rules, the more changes they make the more disinterested I become. I’m not about to go oldmanonlawn over the NFL. It the pinball scores keep going up and up and every QB has a passer rating that would once be HOF worthy then I’m out.

IIRC Whats funny is that First team to score probably never took 10 minutes. https://www.sbnation.com/2017/5/23/15674886/nfl-owners-vote-overtime-rules The driving force behind the rule change is the idea that shortening overtime would be better for player health and safety. The turnaround time for players between a Sunday game and Thursday Night Football is a challenge. The NFL’s competition committee recommended this rule change to make it easier for players to recover over that short span before a Thursday night game. "First of all, the number of plays that these guys play, then take that to the next week, is really a competitive disadvantage,” Baltimore Ravens head coach John Harbaugh said in March. “Guys get worn out. It's hard to recover from one week to the next.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
