There are rule changes pretty much every year, especially over the last 25 years or so. They just vary in terms of their importance and impact and how much we notice them. Yea I guess you're right I think they just didn't advertise it as much back in the early 2000s Or as you mentioned, they weren't as significant Just seems like they want to visit every rule nowadays Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Ty Law rule changes were 2004, IIRC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paul-mac Posted March 29, 2022 Share Posted March 29, 2022 The perfect OT system IMO: - Each team gets five PAT tries. Like in regulation time, you can either kick from the 15 yard line for 1 point, or score a TD from the 2 yard line for 2 points. - Most points at the end of 5 tries wins. - If tied after 5 tries then you alternate 2 point conversions until someone scores and the other misses. Advantages of this system: - Involves all 3 phases of the game. Off, Def and ST. - Interesting decision for the coaches, how many times do you go for 2 vs how many “safe” XP kicks for 1? - It’s only 10 snaps total + potential sudden death snaps. No keeping teams out for a while extra quarter and risking injuries. - There wouldn’t be a huge advantage to winning the coin toss. I’d imagine you’d choose to go 2nd to know when to go for 2, but it wouldn’t be as slanted as it is now. - A winner is guaranteed to emerge.

Shanedorf Posted March 29, 2022 Share Posted March 29, 2022 speaking of yelling at clouds... "If you couldn't beat them in regulation, and you couldn't stop them from marching down for an immediate touchdown in overtime, then you should still get another chance to win. The participation trophy generation got their overtime rule changed." 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TecmoSuperJoe Posted March 29, 2022 Share Posted March 29, 2022 (edited) Yeah not a fan. And I get the feeling the goalposts will be moved yet again by the peanut gallery when another aspect of OT which is dissatisfying starts to gain traction.

BobbyPhil1781 Posted March 29, 2022 Share Posted March 29, 2022 How often do playoff games go into OT? I think people are getting upset about something that will rarely occur but I'm not certain of the statistics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The internet has expanded awareness of this kind of thing, too. This kind of thing wouldn't have gotten like, prime Sportscenter coverage or anything, so you'd have probably found out about a rule change like this on the first broadcast it became relevant in lol. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
