The bottom line is if your team has a fantastic Defense, there is a chance you would defer the ball, take your chances pinning the other team down and play for the FG to win. In the previous OT, the coin toss winning team would NEVER defer.

TR makes a good point ... if they are going to change it, just put ten minuted on the clock and be done with it.

It's a bad point actually. Team A would use a ball controlled offense to run time off the clock, kick a field goal, and leave Team B with little time to try and tie or win. There has to be a sudden death component to it, especially for the playoffs.

This is not college football. I'm sure we can all agree that no one wants to watch 6 OT pro football games.

Seems like everyone will start OT with an OSK and then play normally from there. So we swapped a coin flip for an onside?

Still don't know if it can be deferred.

So, if team A kicks off to team B, and team B flubs the catch and makes contact with the ball, but loses it, and team A recovers it on team Bs 10 yard line, does a field goal win the game? Damn, my head hurts!

what happens if team b doesnt wanna play under these rules so they boycott the coin toss and the toss can never happen?

what is the time limit for a team to appear at the coin toss and/or announce their choice?
