Yeah, too good to be true, is just that with our team. The thought of winning easily against anyone that isn't the Texans doesn't exist. We can lose by double digits but never win that way. Wins must go down to the wire.

Seems like it's been this way for a good 3-4 years now

it was the first quarter, but we did have a strong start

[KI Skins Fan]

I really like how contemptuous of our future opponents the posters here have become since we've been winning. Hooray for us and to Hell with everyone else! That's the spirit. Playoffs or bust!

[Meks]

Fuck Mara and the refs. Still can't believe we couldn't win that fucking game. Praying over these last few weeks. I really am

Ties seriously suck, personally I was fine with the old sudden death rules. I wonder if the % of ties has gone up or down with the new rules. Not sure what the solution is that wouldn't make things feel too gimmicky.

I'll give them credit for changing the rules for the postseason, but I'm not sure why they don't just apply the same change to the regular season as well. I don't think we'll have these super long drawn out games, we'll just get a winner and a loser.

Agree plus they play once a week plenty of R and R in between games. Not like they have back to back games. Suck it up buttercup

I like the idea of keeping the rules as they are now but with no clock, and the first possession starts at the 50...if they score a TD, the other team gets the ball at the 50...and if they score a TD, then it's sudden death. And you have to go for 2 in OT, no extra points. How many times have we seen when teams got to OT now, aside from Chiefs/Bills...teams cannot score and it's just a puntfest in OT.

Yeah but as we all know in the name of "player safety" neither the players union or the league is going to sign off on a no clock OT.

LMAO @ "player safety". As if...

Fuck it, just flip a coin. Two out of three gets the W; or nominate one player from each team to play each other in Madden NFL, and they have to use their actual teams. Winner gets the W for their team, and no one gets hurt.

HaHa....

My solution: Field goals. If after the ten minute OT, it's still tied, teams take alternating filed goal attempts (22 players on the field, snap and hold, etc.). Start at 45 yards, then 50, then 55, etc. until one team makes it and the other doesn't. If both teams miss the 45, they do it again; a block/missed kick returned for a score ends the game.

[FrenchSkin]

Unpopular opinion here, but I'm fine with the OT rules as they are. It's the regular season, if they can't separate themselves after 4 quarters + 10 minutes of football, I'd rather have it be a tie than have them play for ever or it being decided by a coin-toss-like gimmick stuff (I haven't watched 1sec of the soccer world cup, but if I was into this sport I would hate the fact that even in the playoffs a game can be decided by a rock-paper-scissors-like shit (penalty kicks)...)

The Tie will help us in the long run
