This leads to...less fear of getting screwed in OT.
Which leads to...less urgency to win in regulation.
Which leads to...more playoff games going to OT.
Which leads to...more epic finishes! -
I have a question about these new OT rules. If the new rules are supposed to promote both QB's to have the ball, what about scoring 1st on a FG and then are you allowed to on-sides kick ? Or will there be no kickoffs and everyone gets the ball at say, the 50 ?

This is a stupid rule change:sad:

call me old fashioned but they should keep it the way it is
or the altenative for me would have been the college system
this whole if they make a FG you get a chance if the score a TD game over is nonsense. last time i checked a FG counts as a score.steveincolorado likes this. -
I like it, if only for the reason that it rewards coaches who have a pair.
Rather than dig in at the 30 yard line, and kick the field goal, you're no rewarded for trying to go for the throat and get the win.
I mean OT basically becomes a win for the person who gets the kickoff, so long as they can get to around the 30-40 yard line.
