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

I think they want the game shorter once it gets to overtime.

Stop trying to slow it down like MLB :) We don't want 7 quarter games.

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

        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
