DCOrange Posted January 26, 2019 Share Posted January 26, 2019 My thing is that it seems to me that nobody can argue for why the current format is the best; rather it’s arguing that it’s not that bad. If the NFL were a brand new league and someone suggested they handle ties by having each team get the ball and whoever out scores the other wins, I don’t think there would be any disagreement. We’ve just been engrained to accept the current format. Imagine if in a tie game in baseball, if a team scored in the top of the 10th, it just ended the game. Or if the Sabres went into a shootout and the other team scored on their first attempt, that ended the game. It’s just silly. I understand and the idea that if your defense can’t get a stop, you don’t deserve to win, but why does the other team’s defense deserve to not even have to touch the field? It logically makes zero sense to keep the current format. The only real benefit of it is that it potentially ends the game quicker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
