I don't know how many of you know about them changed their thinking about making to overtime rules seeing as it's a little unfair currently. (Whoever wins the coin toss has a pretty good chance of winning the game so it's based partly on luck)

Changes that are being voted on at the end of the month:
- It would still be sudden death, and the game would still be over if the first team scores a TD.
- The other team would get a chance to score if the first team scores a FG.
- If the second team does get a FG after the first team then the overtime continues, if they get a TD they win, and if they don't score obviously the first team wins.


Opinions?


I think it could work out quite nicely that way.

It's hard to call it 'Sudden Death' if the first team scores points, but still isn't guaranteed a win.

Otherwise, I rather like the idea for the NFL. Wouldn't want to see it in other sports, though.

Hockey has sudden death.
i don't think that it would work in baseball, but then yet again i don't know baseball very well.

I like it, but I still think the other team should be able to try to get a TD if the other team gets a TD. I should be "match or beat the other teams drive"

No shit. When I was talking about "it not working for other sports", I meant the op's idea for overtime. Baseball's a bit different, since you're guaranteed the bottom inning anyway.

It seems most sports don't have a real Sudden Death overtime format. Maybe that's why I love it in hockey so much.

They should just do whoever scores the most point in a 10 min quarter wins.

This could make some games long as fuck. Wish this was applied during the saints vs. vikings game because viking should have won that game.
