Haywarduck Moderator No. 1 Share Posted January 24, 2022 In soccer there is overtime, but no sudden death until 2, 15 minute periods of play, in the playoffs. If at that time there is still a tie then they go to the shoot out most Americans detest. In the NFL the playoffs are won or lost most likely with the flip of a coin in overtime. This is a travesty for the NFL's product. The Chiefs and Bills played a great game, that was basically decided by a flip of a coin. The rules need to be changed, especially after seeing one of the greatest playoff games end that way. In regular season if they want to decide it with a flip of a coin then maybe it is ok. In the playoffs let the game roll for another 5 minutes, and keep it rolling, no sudden death, ever! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jon Joseph Moderator No. 4 Share Posted January 24, 2022 ANSWER: YES! How can you end a terrific game like that on a coin toss? I covered but for everything the NFL does so well the OT rules are terrible. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
30Duck No. 5 Share Posted January 24, 2022 Regular season I'd be okay with games just ending in a tie, there was a tie this season. In the Playoffs, like basketball, I'd just have another quarter. If somehow a winner isn't decided, do it again. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charles Fischer Administrator No. 6 Share Posted January 24, 2022 For Buffalo to NOT get a chance to win or tie...is insane. 1 Mr. FishDuck Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tandaian No. 7 Share Posted January 24, 2022 It isn't perfect, but I'm OK with how OT works in the NFL. Buffalo had 9 possessions during regulation and they scored on 5 of them. KC had the ball 10 times in regulation and scored on 7 of them. They played 60 minutes before OT. If Buffalo forces KC to run the kickoff back just before OT, they take at least 4 seconds off the board and that removes 1 play. In OT all Buffalo needs to do is not allow a TD and they get the ball back. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jhoff No. 8 Share Posted January 24, 2022 Agree with 30DUCK. You also could make the overtime quarters between 5 and 10 minutes if your worried about injuries. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
