Dome Posted October 20, 2018 Share Posted October 20, 2018 I’d be interested in knowing if this would move anyone up/down on any major leaderboards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cheesehawk Posted October 20, 2018 Share Posted October 20, 2018 what kind of question is this? is it part of the game? yes, they absolutely count. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RandyMossIsBoss Posted October 20, 2018 Share Posted October 20, 2018 Hm, an interesting question. I say why not? For one, there's generally a balance when it comes to OT. You won't find one team playing 60 more minutes (aka 1 game) of a season than another, know what I mean? It's usually at most you'll see a team playing maybe 30 more minutes than the teams that played no OT? I mean TDs are limited to 1 for every player on the field in a given OT period, so you can't stat pad that very much (and do you really want to argue a GW TD shouldn't count, when in reality it probably means more than every other TD?). More times than not, the yardage per play, which is what people care most about nowadays, is going to be negatively effected by prolonged OT periods. Ultimately, I just don't think it matters much. Now college, don't even get me started. Its practically a different game, where you start on the 25 and go back and forth until one side can't keep up. The scoring inflation from OT can be very misleading from long OTs in college... No idea why team or player stats count in OT. Like hockey/soccer with shootouts, I feel those game should read like this: Baylor 35 Iowa State 35 (Baylor wins OT #3) Rather than Baylor 57 Iowa State 55 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobikus Posted October 20, 2018 Share Posted October 20, 2018 Yes. It's still part of the game. 10 hours ago, Dome said: I’d be interested in knowing if this would move anyone up/down on any major leaderboards It's possible someone moves up or down a spot or breaks a tie, but there's really not that much career stat accumulation in OT for anyone. LDT and TO who have had long careers in the modern era each have under 250 career yards in OT. Only 10 QBs in history have more than 1 OT TD pass, and the only ones with more than 2 are Bledsoe and Bradshaw, with 4 and 3 respectively. Only LDT has 3 rush/rec TDs in OT and only 7 other players have 2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Acgott Posted October 20, 2018 Share Posted October 20, 2018 Should we get rid of garbage time stats as well? Maybe we should only count stats if the score is within 10... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thomas5737 Posted October 20, 2018 Share Posted October 20, 2018 Stats count but there are asterisks next to single game accomplishments. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Broncofan Posted October 20, 2018 Share Posted October 20, 2018 It’s a reflection of the culture that everything has to be fair that this frankly ridiculous Q gets posted. We could just count everyone’s best 10 plays for stats and not count the rest. Because it’s not fair that some teams get more plays than others to generate stats. And give every team a SBP trophy at the end of the year. The P of course...is for participation. Or we can realize it’s a sport. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
43M Posted October 20, 2018 Share Posted October 20, 2018 No. Neither should garbage time stats. Or stats accumulated in nice weather or domes. Or stats vs bottom 10 defenses. Or stats accumulated under Bill Belichick. In reality, stats should be done away with altogether. Same with wins and losses. Maybe Nike can make a commercial about it.

stl4life07 Posted October 20, 2018 Share Posted October 20, 2018 Everything should count in OT because its still within the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shockwave Posted October 21, 2018 Share Posted October 21, 2018 I mean if it was similar to college OT where the teams start at the 25 I'd say no but considering NFL teams have to drive the entire field why wouldn't they count? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
