Re: Owners pass Overtime rule proposal

not only do they kick, they also must play defense
besides the fact that they completely insulted special teams.....they embarrassed defenses by assuming that you cant stop the other team no matter what team wins the coin toss
the old rules required the defense to make a play.....if they didnt, then the other team won.....and since the NFL has cut out special teams out of overtime, there is only 2 phases of football......offense and defense
but since the new rules require both teams to get a chance on offense, they are taking defense out of the game too.....so i guess defense is completely lost too
Good way to look at it, CL! No wonder you won the activity award!
