row_33 Posted January 21, 2019 Share Posted January 21, 2019 (edited) They just have to change it to when the team I’m cheering for takes the lead, then the game is over They get a million chances until they take the lead then the game is over and I win Edited January 21, 2019 by row_33 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The old way it was less than one percent favour to the coin toss winner taking the W, sometimes with multiple possessions but fans have a cognitive disorder that makes them think it was 90 percent of the time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Falcons & Chiefs both lost due to a fricken coin toss! Agreed. Maybe not in the regular season, but definitely in the playoffs. The new rule was created in a lower scoring environment out of concern that the winner of the coin toss would have too great an advantage because new era kickers could easily hit a 55 yarder: take possession at the 25, gain 37 yards, kick a FG, game over. Now that offenses score - and score touchdowns - at a significantly greater rate than even a few years ago, the coin toss is again becoming too great a factor. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wppete Posted January 21, 2019 Share Posted January 21, 2019 The NFL needs to adopt the NCAA Overtime rules. Way more entertaining and is fair for both teams. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless I'm mistaken, on the overtime drive the Chiefs D failed to stop the Pats at least 3 times on 3rd and around 10. I prefer the straight-up sudden death OT rules of the past. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Frankish Reich Posted January 21, 2019 Share Posted January 21, 2019 I really don't see any reason why - in the playoffs - we don't simply play it NBA or soccer style and add on a normal 15 minute period. The chances of a tie after the additional period are low enough that it would probably resolve 80-90% of ties without anyone whining about "fairness." It can't be unfair because it's just a continuation of the same game with the same rules, not based on something random like which side a coin lands on. If it's tied after the additional period, well, that's when some other rule more arbitrary rule can come into play. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah but what if my team doesn't play well on their first possession resulting in a punt or turn over on downs? Do I then get to piss and moan and demand that the 15 minute OT period be completed? After all I'm going to be super pissed if my team doesn't win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BillsFan130 Posted January 21, 2019 Share Posted January 21, 2019 Nope. Stop them from going 75 yards Stop 3rd and longs. Nothing wrong with the rule. Kcs defence needed just to just make 1 more play and they couldn’t Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuffaloButt Posted January 21, 2019 Author Share Posted January 21, 2019 Ok, the rule needs to be changed to match TD's until Brady retires, then it can stay how it is now!!? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No wonder the Patriots captains yelled "WE WANT THE BALL" with the Chiefs' mix of awesome offense and horrible defense Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You’ll have someone complain they got the ball one less time that the team that won the toss. So, a simple fix would be two 8min overtimes where each team has a chance to lead with the ball. At the end of the 2nd OT, the score is final. The coin flip would be to see who gets their chance first or second. If its still tied, do it all over again Edited January 21, 2019 by mrags 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
