TBayXXXVII 2,104 Posted January 21, 2019 Both teams should get a possession. End of discussion. They would... if the first defense didn't allow the first offense to go down and score a TD. I think the rules are fine. The ONLY change I would get behind is to make them play a full 15 minute quarter that is no different than the 4th Quarter. Rinse and repeat if there's still a tie.

jerryskids 5,149 Posted January 21, 2019 I'd entertain playing a full OT in the playoffs, I think it would be good entertainment. That being said, the current whining is because KC let NE complete a bunch of 3rd and longs. Play better defense on 3rd down and your golden boy gets the ball.

listen2me 23 1,529 Posted January 21, 2019 I don't mind OT the way it is now. 10 Minute Q just for playoffs played all he way wouldn't be bad. But then we will have people whine about that too. Chiefs let them drive 2 times late for TDs when they needed them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Current whining isn't new from me, I've been arguing this since the first they changed to this system and the winner of the coin flip was statistically shown to still have an advantage. Until the luck of coin flip is eliminated, I will be a proponent of changing the rules. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

frank 2,143 Posted January 21, 2019 You have 60 minutes to win the game. If you don't, no bitching about a coin toss. OT is by definition fair, because each team has an equal chance of winning the toss. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

frank 2,143 Posted January 21, 2019 I think they should do away with the pregame coin flip. Just have a rule, home team gets the ball first, road team gets to choose, something like that.

How can any of you even dispute this? Why? If you are a good defensive team with a bad offense, and you lose the coin toss, you stop them and... don't score because your offense sucks? I don't get the argument here. As someone else said, field a complete team to mitigate your risk. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Baker Boy 1,466 Posted January 21, 2019 Report: NFL to consider making PI reviewable The Washington Post's Mark Maske reports the NFL's competition committee will "give consideration" to making pass interference calls reviewable. Several coaches including Sean Payton, whose team was on the receiving end of a horrific and game-changing non-call on Sunday, have been in favor of making pass interference reviewable, and it sounds like there is a possibility they will get their wish. "It will be discussed at length along with additional fouls that coaches feel should be subject to review," a source told Maske. A more comprehensive and streamlined review system could help, but the underlying issue is a serious refereeing problem which needs to be addressed. Source: Washington Post Jan 21 - 12:26 PM Anything to make the game longer. Never let a bad situation go to waste when you can use it to make more money. The first SB lasted 2:37!
