CommonCents Posted December 10, 2018 Share Posted December 10, 2018 Just change the time from 10 to 15 and fine with it. That would fix some of the problems with teams just milking the clock on the first drive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stop the other team from scoring a TD and you get to go on offense. The rules are fine as is. Teams are forced to punt and/or kick FGs all game long. The same thing can and does happen in OT.

The other team can even score points and you still get another chance. Too much crying in fandom. whiners will cry and wail and whine and pee their pants moaning and demanding a recount or another crack at the ball or make it best-of-nine instead of best-of-seven ***** all of them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Except when the team that wins the flip scores, then it's game over. Every other sport gives each team equal odds of winning overtime, except pro football. And when pro football decided to make it a little more fair with the FG rule, they even screwed that up.

Why not give a hockey shootout win to the first team that scores? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
