it's a violent sport it's easy for folks at home to say that but that's not realistic from a player standpoint.




(i'm just assuming here) but i think it's also due to 15min possibly translating into as much as 45 min in real time (after regulation probably going a few past their scheduled times.... and the overtime would mess up the networks contracts with tv shows following any games....

Good point that would be a huge part of it also. Networks not gonna like that at all.

I agree...

I'm not big on change..but if they're going to change keep going for 15 minute quarters till someone is winning at the end of one.

because there will be situations when a team could be better suited to win in 5 quarters vs 4.

The game of football is designed to be fair in every single aspect for the regulation period. A tie is a FAILURE of both teams to claim victory. Both teams SHOULD lose the right to a fair over time period.

Overtime is not fair and that is by design. This is how you discourage teams playing FOR overtime.

The rule should not change

Both teams having failed to achieve a win within the regulated period, neither team is entitled to the points. Game over. No overtime. Finish.

I think that idea would flop more than an Italian soccer player.

I still feel a period of around 5 extra minutes should be played to settle OT. That's plenty of time for both teams to at least get a crack on offense.

NCAA is similar, except that if the first team scores a touchdown, the second team gets a chance to match. What the NFL is proposing is that the 2nd team only gets a 'rebuttal' if the 1st team scores a FG

Man that's stupid.

I say either:
- play another 5 minutes. Leader at the end wins the game. If it's still tied, the game ends in a tie.
- go to college rules, but start from the 50 yard line.

i kind of like the idea, but if they are going to propose a change like this, they might as well EXACTLY copy the college rules

wouldn't work because one drive can be longer than 5 minutes. a good team can hold the ball the whole time and kick a FG. which is what they're trying to change anyways.

i like this.... and if a team scores a TD, you have to go for a 2 pt conversion.

i just disagree with a coin flip possibly deciding the game with a one sided score
Mar 7, 2010 at 8:36 PM
It probably has to do with the ridiculous stat on like 80% of teams to get hte ball first wins the game in overtime. If you think about it, you only really need 35-40 yards after a decent kickoff return to win the game, since almost all kickers can nail a 50yarder
