I agree. But I have no compassion for Dungy and the Colts since Dungy advocated for no changes to be made to the rule. Got what was comin to him

Yup. Can't argue with you there.

Re: Overtime Needs To Be Changed....

personally i would hate if they went to the college system.

if they were to make a change I would like them to simply just ensure that each team touches the ball once.

example: San Diego wins toss, goes down wins game with touchdown. They would then have to kick to Indy once. If they got held on their first drive, they punt to Indy and everything goes normally from there.

This would also make it so if a team gets down within field goal range on the first drive, they don't just run to the middle of the field and kick it on 2nd or 3rd down.

I would be OK with that. That's all I'm asking for.

Re: Overtime Needs To Be Changed....

I would like to see college (and the NFL) to go with a system where each team gets to start at the 50 yard line and if they score a touchdown, they must go for the two point conversion.

The coin flip is ridiculous. Starting at the 35 yard line and not making teams go for two point conversion until the 3rd OT is pretty bad as well.

What do you guys think?

Re: Overtime Needs To Be Changed....

Why not 2 separate 2 minute drills from each team's 40 yard line.

I know it sounds like a mini-game for Madden or something, but it would add a lot more suspense and both teams would actually have to play as if it is their final possession.

I would like this in both pro and college.

XFL Rules.

Put the ball at mid field and have the 2 slowest players on the team run to the ball and whoever recovers it, gets ball first. Problem solved.

Re: Overtime Needs To Be Changed....

I hate the college system, used to like it, but the older I get, the more I hate it. It's not football. I don't get it, you play 4 quarters of the same rules, then it's a tie so the rules change to break the tie?

The only thing I'd change about the NFL OT is both offenses have to see the field. If team A kicks to team B, and they bring it back for a TD, team A then gets to receive a kick off and have a chance to tie it. They get stopped on downs, turn the ball over or don't score, then that's ballgame.

If team A gets the ball, doesn't score, and then team B does, game over as well.

Not sure how you would work it if team A threw an INT returned for a TD, but that's what the competition committee is for
