Owners pass Overtime rule proposal

i really believe this is an unfair advantage for the team that doesnt win the coin toss

the team that wins the toss is encouraged to go for it on 4th down due to the new rules.....but the risk of going for it on 4th down is much greater now because even tho they cant win it with a FG, the 2nd team can win it with a fg if they choose to do so

just like in college, the team that wins usually wants to go 2nd because they know if they have to score a TD or score a FG......now the team that loses the coin toss has the knowledge that they only have to kick a FG to win or tie to extend the game

You are trying to addle our brains CantonLegend.
If you don't win the toss, you cannot decide to go 1st or 2nd. So any advantage is with the team who wins the toss.

Now if you said, unfair advantage to the team who receives 1st, I still would not agree with you.

obviously the team that wins has the bigger advantage

but there is an advantage for the other team to know that they only have to kick a FG to win or tie

the original team has to score a TD or they give up the advantage given to them by the coin toss

only if the 1st team did not get a TD.

Oooooo just had a thought. You can't win on a FG but you can on a safety!
I am the team receiving the kick. Under CantonLegend mode, I am scared to get a FG. I go for it on 4th down, fail, BUT leave the ball in the opponents 10. ...... Under pressure......... (singing David Bowie here)

Sounds like a WWE rule. Not a rule for a real sporting event. Maybe one of the QBs can get hit with a chair before the OT kickoff.
