Overtime Rule change
Overtime Rule Change. What do ya'll think. Leave it the ways it is or modified it. I say leave it alone. Really don't understand what the problem is.
Is it because the Great Brett Favre didn't get to play in the Super Bowl. Or is it the coin toss play a great big role. I think it fair just the way it is. |

Re: Overtime Rule change
Coin toss really does not play a big role. I posted this in the other OT thread.

Re: Overtime Rule change
Leave it alone. It could go either way for either team any given game. It helped us this season, it may hurt us next. You can't just change the rules everytime it adversely affects your golden boy of the moment.

Re: Overtime Rule change
Simple reason: field position. When a team wins the coin toss and defers the kickoff (and BTW that's what the rule says, doesn't say you get possession or "receive the ball" if you win the coin toss) , that team gives field position: team goes 3 and out, it leaves the team that kicked off in excellent field position. |

Re: Overtime Rule change
people want the rule to be changed so that teams must score a TD to win
what happens when the field conditions are terrible and the reason its in overtime is because nobody has been able to score a TD yet? why would people want a prolonged game that is terrible in the first place? |

Re: Overtime Rule change
These guys are professionals. Everyone of them. If your team starts out on defense....then stop the other team!
If you are on offense....go score! This whole thing, is ugly and dirty. To me, it seems as if some people want us to return the trophey and the record books will show SuperBowl 44 with an (*) *due to the Saints winning the NFC Championship, by established "Sudden Death Overtime", QB Brett Favre and the Vikings were unable to get a possession during overtime play. We at the NFL have decided this act was unfair to Brett Favre and the SuperBowl "victory" by the New Orleans Saints has been deemed farse. Minnesota, New Orleans and Indianapolis will be shown in a tie. |

Re: Overtime Rule change
I like the current OT rules. If you lose the coin toss, stop their offense. What is so confusing about that? Seems that the NFL is turning into the Disney League of American Football to me.
