jofos Posted January 5, 2020 Share Posted January 5, 2020 How did OT workout in the Texans Bills game? Was it unfair because the Texans had the ball twice and the Bills only got it once? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because coaches don't want to make the call that clearly states they don't believe their offense CAN'T drive down the field and win the game with a TD. And they don't 100% of the time. BB choose to kick against Peyton Manning and people who haven't seen the percentages thought it was the craziest thing ever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ties aren't the only bad thing that can happen under the current rules, a team can lose in OT without ever possessing the ball in the extra period. I feel that college OT rules are the way to go. College OT games are more thrilling than those in the NFL. Plus those rules were tweaked before this season. Beginning with the 5th OT games become 2 point conversion shootouts, in an effort to shorten OT games. Many of the greatest college football games since 1996 have been OT thrillers. As an OSU fan I can testify to this. Yes they do. It should be sudden death even if it's a FG. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It feels like robbery to win the toss, score a td, and call it game over without having to play defense. Everyone arguing that defense is important as to why the current rule is great fail to realize that a lot of times, only 1 team ever has to play defense. Im dumbfounded that people like the current system to be honest. I mean, to each their own, but it seems incredibly skewed to the team that possesses the ball first. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think about what a huge advantage it would be to get the ball second if both teams got a chance Also, what if one team gets it twice and the other team only gets it once? Isn't that also unfair? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are no numbers out there that say the odds were incredibly skewed, even BEFORE teams had to score a TD to win on the first drive. After.... 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There would be a huge advantage to getting the ball 2nd if you KNEW you needed a TD to keep the game going You'd get 4 downs on every series to get 10 yards and wouldn't have to consider punting or kicking a FG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With the most teams in Ravens history, yes. If you kick and get a quick stop you might only need one or two good plays to get into FG range and win it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soko Posted January 6, 2020 Share Posted January 6, 2020 I’m all about CFB OT rules. Just take away the points/stats counting towards season totals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KingOfNewYork Posted January 6, 2020 Share Posted January 6, 2020 Best case scenario is to play the whole 15 minutes. Then if no one is ahead you go sudden death next score wins. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
