The Viqueen Overtime Rule...

Euphoria, I hear you.
It stands. Owners met and decided on this.
I would have prefer the old rule to for all games.
OT=sudden death. Game over.
I am just throwing this out, possible reason for change...I don't know.
New rule makes sure teams don't go for OT rather than just risk it all and win or lose and play that last 30 sec. or minute. Risk it all there. Win or lose there.
With new PlayoffOT, even if you get a FG, game is not over.

Or perhaps, teams are in OT, then media, fans get to see a real, full, qrtr. of football.

I do not like OT. Never. What you said about teams winning if deserving or losing, then they did not deserve it anyway...these current Saints have done that OT over these past years. It is can be a win for either team. It is not good going to OT in any game.
