Not only that, they're not giving it to them on the 25 yard line like in college either...

I like the current method. TD or defensive score wins the game, if you score 3 points the other team gets a chance. Still wayyyyyyyyy better than the old system.

Going against the grain here, but I'm fine with the current rules.

The first team who gets the ball has to play the situation straight in that they can't automatically go for it on 4th down every time.

If the team losing the coin flip automatically gets a possession, then they will have a huge advantage in that they can call plays knowing they will be going for it on 4th down every time.

It's definitely not ideal, but it's way better than it was.

Adopting the college overtime rules would be a disaster. It's one of the worst things about college football.

Do OT exactly like college, and anything should be reviewable. Enough with a coin toss deciding shit.

Do you really want to see a game end 65-62?

I don't

How many games go into OT? Not like it happens all the time. If it does though than im all for it. Imagine if in tennis they did a coin flip to see who served for the win?
Remember you have to start going for 2 also. You could even eliminate extra points entirely. Would shorten it somewhat.

In all fairness, a coin toss didn't decide anything.

Although, an actual coin toss to decide who wins an overtime game (like actually decide) would be pretty interesting.

If you have two high powered offenses, and the coin toss decides which teams offense gets the ball first - it absolutely plays a hand in the outcome. It is stupid. College OT rules are fair. That is how it should be done imo.
Edit: this has nothing to do with the Pats. Ive wanted the college OT since college started it. Leave nothing on the table.

Yeah God forbid the winner is decided because of football and not a coin flip. Lol. I would tweak a couple things. You have to go for two from the start, and you kick off. No starting at the 30 or whatever it is. Each team gets the same chance. First one to score more than the other in a set of possessions wins. Simple. Fair. No doubts.

This OT stuff is out of hand, the only reason people want a change is because NE won, if KC had won the game after getting the ball first this much would not be said.

The Saints got the ball first and the Rams stepped up and stopped them, it's football. The league already changed the rule to scoring a TD first wins the game..

Stop trying to change the rules every damn season, so what is next? Teams have to score twice to win?

I disagree. I think Pats fans would be losing their SHIT over it.

I still stand by this, play a five minute OT like normal football until there's a winner. I don't think games would end up like college football when you're not starting on the twenty five (thirty five?) yard line.

a 5 minute ot would basically guarantee one team (assuming its a decent team) would simply run the clock out and kick a fg at the end to win it.

I really thought they had a perfect mix this year and there were a lot of OT's to test it out. IF two teams are evenly matched clearly a tie is possible. IF they aren't strong in all 3 departments then they will lose.

If KC had held NE to a FG Majomes could have had a chance, but they didn't (even with the amazing Kendall Fuller)

Leave the OT rules alone.
