Christ dude why don’t we just guarantee both teams the same exact number of snaps per game so it’s truly fair. This has officially gone off the rails.

No need to get sarcastic. Lol. It isn’t as if there isn’t a thing called the NCAA that has OT rules just like it. Only they make it corny with starting on the 30 or whatever.
Again in Tennis let’s just flip a coin to see who serves first. They win the game it is over. Lets end a baseball game in extra innings if the first team to bat hits a home run. Hey ya gotta be able to pitch right?

Yeah why you are trotting out outdated stats Punch? First score wins was one-sided as fuck.

The article was dated 2014, and regardless it is about the coin toss not being meaningless. If anything is outdated it is the 52% stat.
Also I do think this is better than the first “score”/fg wins it but i think it could be better yet.

For me I like the sudden death nature of nfl OT. It was bad when a FG could end it on the first possession' but I like the way it is now any great play by the offense, defense, or ST play can win or lose the game.

So a few people including Kevin Sheehan have crunched the numbers and apparently it’s about 19% of the time since 2012 where the team that wins the coin flip drives down the field and scores a TD and ends the game without the other team touching the ball.

But still wins 52% of the time because they will get two possessions as opposed to one. Discussion on.

Plenty of people out there that would like to see each team get the ball until one of them scores more than the other in a set of possessions. Im just the only one on the WP. Lol.

I don’t think it is the most dire emergency in sports rules history. Trust me. Lol. It just seems so painfully obvious too me that the only fair way too settle the game is on a level playing field. Each team gets the ball until one out duels the other.
As for all these statistics - im sure they are skewed by a million other factors.

[MTK]

I don’t even know what we’re talking about anymore.

I thought the argument was the coin flip decides the game? (The numbers prove otherwise)

Now it’s not fair because one team might get two possessions vs one?

You’re moving the goalposts on this.

Never said it decides the game. Said it helps.
Im saying the same thing i was before. Just expounding on it.
Team A gets ball and scores TD. Over.

VS

Team A gets ball and gets stopped
Team B gets ball and gets stopped
Team A gets ball and scores. Over.

Same shit one team had two chances, and one team had one.
Look obviously you guys do not feel as strong as me about this. NC sort of did but than went away and left me on an island. Lol.
I think my baseball extra innings argument is a good one though. Both teams play offense and defense until one team scores more than the other. Should be the same way but as usual football gotta be different.

Sorry but this is getting retarded. At some point the game has to end. 80% of the time both teams have an offensive possession so what's the big deal??

What is your "fair" way of doing OT?

I feel like im beating a dead horse but you keep asking what i meAn. Lol. So here i go again.
Each team gets the ball until one team scores more than the other does in a particular split possession series. How many games will drag on forever? 7 beats 3. 7 beats 0. 3 beats 0. Etc. Not complicated. Not a forever game. In college they go on forever because they start at the opposing teams 30.

[Buffalo Bob]

Real sudden death where first score wins wasn't unfair to the loser of the toss before the evolution of the rules to extremely favor the offense. I would be interested to see a study of overtime games by the decade. With the rules governing personal fouls now, especially to a QB and the pass interference calls, it is common for teams to have scoring drives with a big chunk of the yardage coming on questionable calls. Considering that I think there needs to be some rule changes, something like a hybrid between the pro and college system.

Keep it the way it is now. Stop crying and make a stop
