nah. not if you've been spotted 25 points. - Diva Feb 6, 07:56 6
- How they got to OT is irrelevant. It's how it's done that I have an issue with. - Krusty Feb 6, 08:07 5
  - Like the ref explained at the beginning, it is in effect a new game, starting at a zero to zero score. - Spawn Feb 6, 08:19
  - This is something the NFL may revisit. The rule has obviously been altered. Could be again. - Diva Feb 6, 08:10 3
    - I actually like the way college does it. -- nm - David, ST's Ultimate Lover Feb 6, 08:20
    - Why, back in Nineteen-dickety-two they would decide overtime using a greased pig and 22 blindfolds... -- nm - Ender Feb 6, 08:11 1
      - Now they're all just a bunch of whining pantloads! -- nm - Pappy Schmecklenburger si Feb 6, 08:13
Royal Rumble. 15 players from each team. -- nm - Beaker Feb 6, 07:53
Serious question. If Atlanta wins on first possession in overtime are you asking this question? -- nm - Bacon Feb 6, 07:52 14
- Yes. See below. Most sports get overtime wrong. Baseball and basketball do it right. -- nm - Krusty Feb 6, 07:55 11
  - Fair enough. Football is a different animal. I think injures change how it happens. - Bacon Feb 6, 07:57 2
    - That's the game. It's fine for only so long? I don't like that excuse. The game is the game and you don't change it at the end because you have to pla -- (edited) - Krusty Feb 6, 08:01
    - but hockey is different, as everyone gets the chance to have the puck. -- nm - Beaker Feb 6, 08:00
  - hockey used to do it right till Bettman fucked it up due to the belief that some hate the long OTs -- nm - Beaker Feb 6, 07:55 3
    - Agreed (and also agreed that that's not what's being discussed :) ) -- nm - Beryllium Feb 6, 08:03
    - BUT they do do it right in the playoffs. which is better than no.ithing -- nm - Beaker Feb 6, 07:56 1
      - wait, NHL is sudden death so not the same as your examples I'm in ameeting so just ignore me :) -- nm - Beaker Feb 6, 07:59
  - Except for that one fucking All Star Game... *grumble* *NM* - Ender Feb 6, 07:55 3
    - Agreed and then that screwed up home field for the playoffs. What a mess that was and caused. F'ing Selig. -- nm - Krusty Feb 6, 07:58 2
      - HOFer Bud Selig if you please. -- nm - Beaker Feb 6, 07:59 1
        
        That's a funny way of spelling "antichrist"... -- nm - Ender Feb 6, 08:03
- In my case yes - the current ot rules are an improvement over what existed but are still dumb. -- nm - Reagen Feb 6, 07:53 1
  - College rules on OT make a lot more sense than NFL rules. -- nm - TWuG Feb 6, 07:56
What ty97 thought while I read this post "Doesn't overtime pay time and a half already?" - ty97 Feb 6, 07:46
because they need to add another 45 minutes to the gametime. -- nm - groiny Feb 6, 07:46 1
- Sorry boss I can't come into work because I am still watching the Superbowl. -- nm - East Coaster Monday Morning calls to work Feb 6, 07:48
As I've said before, in the playoffs, both teams need to get the ball. - David Feb 6, 07:46 1
- I agree and it's not about last night. Baseball and basketball do it right while every other sport - Krusty Feb 6, 07:53
I think you end up with a more likely scenario of a tie at the end of that. Also the longer the game and fatigue the more likely of injury - Bacon Feb 6, 07:46 15
- I want the outcome based on a fair game and in OT each team should have an equal chance at scoring. If the game stays tied they keep playing. - Krusty Feb 6, 07:57 14
  - your im had already happened by the 4th quarter last night. -- nm - Diva Feb 6, 07:58
  - or, you know, stop them from scoring on the opening drive? -- nm - groiny Feb 6, 07:58 12
    - Both teams should have the ball. -- nm - Krusty Feb 6, 08:03 11
      - that could have a HUGE impact on gambling. Over/Unders would be extinct -- nm - Beaker Feb 6, 08:05 9
        
        If the NFL doesn't get a cut why should they care? It should be about having the right outcome and playing the game through to the end. -- (edited) - Krusty Feb 6, 08:09 8
        
        as far as I am concerned, you had 4 quarters to win the game - groiny Feb 6, 08:11 6
        
        I think the should just use the coin toss to decide the winner. -- nm - Spawn Feb 6, 08:25 5
        
        the game is 2 parts, offense and defense. Someone on defense needs to step up. - groiny Feb 6, 08:26 4
        
        Sports spoiler: - Spawn Feb 6, 08:40 3
        
        I am sorry, are these not professional "ATHLETES"?????? -- nm - groiny Feb 6, 08:43 2
        
        Flacons D played twice the game as the offense. - Spawn Feb 6, 08:49 1
        
        I know, maybe the Falcons MVP should have got them some more first downs. -- nm - groiny Feb 6, 08:50
        
        then if it ends in a tie again someone will whine about that. -- nm - Diva Feb 6, 08:11
      - get a turnover. -- nm - groiny Feb 6, 08:04
For the Superbowl, absolutely. Even 7m30secs would be fine if they want to end sooner -- nm - budice Feb 6, 07:45
It's not like they have next week to rest up for. -- nm - Reagen Feb 6, 07:45
When has the NFL ever been about fairness? -- nm - Ender Feb 6, 07:45
