Re: Owners pass Overtime rule proposal
It also bugs me that this is a playoff change only. They are admitting in a sense that reg season games are less important than post season somehow. Many times a late season game is a playoff game. I understand their "reasons", I just don't agree.

Re: Owners pass Overtime rule proposal
Well, it has been discussed for years but now something is going to be done about it.
The new rules proposal for overtime in the NFL was passed at the owner meetings in Orlando, Florida. By a vote of 28-4, there will now be new overtime rules in the NFL for just the playoffs but changes could come for the regular season at the next meeting in May. 24 votes were needed to pass the proposal through and I'm willing to bet that New Orleans Saints' coach Sean Payton was one of the 4 against. New overtime rules proposal passed by NFL owners Saints still making history i see |
Re: Owners pass Overtime rule proposal
It's a good change IMHO. Both teams get a shot at the ball unless the following happens:
Team A scores a touchdown after winning the toss Team B wins on an onside kick after losing the toss, and kicks a field goal or touchdown Team B wins after losing the toss and scores a defensive TD or gets a turnover and scores a field goal or touchdown Team B wins if it gets a safety or pick 6 after losing the coin toss If team A gets a touchdown they win the game If team A scores a field goal they must kickoff to Team B. If Team B scores a touchdown they win. If they kick a field goal to tie, the game becomes sudden death again. If Team A scores neither a TD or Field Goal and punts to Team B, it becomes sudden death at that point. Everyone got that? Your welcome! |

How is it fair that one team can win with a FG because they lost a coin toss, but not coin toss winner, especially if the coin toss winner actually never gets a possession? |

Payton on the vote: "It is what it is. It kind of happened without anyone knowing. It was supposed to be voted on tomorrow."
Just for those that thought Payton had any say in this whatsoever. |

Re: Owners pass Overtime rule proposal
Because Team A CAN win the game with a touchdown without relinquishing the ball to Team B. Is it that complicated?
