second team wins.
New Overtime Proposal for NFL Playoffs PASSED
- Thread in 'Sports & Training' Thread starter Started by bruce waynee,

King stole that from Clayton, John been speakin on that for weeks now.
I get that point, but if that's the problem, and you wanna change rules for OT, fine, change the kickoff to whatever you want then. Make the team drive 50 yards instead of 45 and now the percentages will average back out again and more games will go further along.
All this coin flip drama is a bunch of whining over nothing. GB won the coin flip last year, how'd it work out for em? And yet, they had the play before where all they had to do was get that long completion, they just didn't make it. In the end it comes down to make the plays.
Don't like losing on a field goal? Don't give up a field goal. It's that simple.
This is a stupid rule change. I wanna see the NBA change playoff Overtimes to 10 minutes. Or MLB switch playoff games to 12 innings instead of 9.
Another stupid knee jerk reaction pushed thru by Goddell, quickly becoming one of my least favorite men in sports. Get Tags back in office asap before Goddell moves the NFL to Tuesdays.

I agree.
And I'm SURE it's a coincidence this rule change gets a complete passing the one offseason after Brett Favre was eliminated from the conference championship on an OT field goal

and the owners snuck and approved this crap while the coaches were not in the meeting. Most of the coaches are upset and up in arms at this change...

That won't happen overnight, it will happen eventually (probably even for this season).
I'm all for leaving things the way they are, but I always said if they were going to change the rules, this is the absolute best way to do it (especially in the playoffs).

I love the change, I think they should implement it for the regular season too. The coin flip was just too important, and that mantra of "just play d" looks good on the bulletin board, but a phantom pi call or something else can happen that you can't blame on the defense. I've even seen phrases like "destroying the integrity of the game" but football's not about shutting out the other team, it's about outscoring them. If you hold them to a fg and your offense scores 6, you should win. Plus, the extra possession isn't guaranteed, it only happens for fg on the first possession.
I read that some coaches were opposed to it because they'd have to do "more thinking," which is just asinine. Players might not like it because there's more plays, ie more chance of injury, but honestly, another possession? The league is about to add two full games to the season.

I agree.
This is why I'm not for the rule change. Nobody ever cared about OT complaints until Brett Favre didn't get a chance to lead yet another magical comeback drive. @%+! outta here, NFL.

Well that is just not true. People have been complaining for years about NFL overtime.

It's a good rule change because the team with the better offense AND defense (combined) will be the winner at the end.
I'm not sure why some of you guys are hating it so much. It seems quite fair to me.

Teams with good defenses will just elect to kick if they win the toss and take their chances
Players union don't want it regular season I think, because, obviously, this is just more playing time, and, players would be more prone to injury.

Glad this passed. You can't even argue against the statistics showing that the team that wins the coin toss wins 60% of the time.
Not glad that my team was one of the 4 idiots that voted against it.

They need to leave the NFL alone it's just fine the way it is
What happens if Team A scores a FG
Then Team B throws an INT and dude from Team A fumbles and Team B recovers? Just saying
