Jaguars/Raiders ending is how OT should be.

Jags got the ball first in OT, scores a TD + xp. Raiders scores a TD, and goes for 2. We got a winner and we got a loser. No team can complain about not getting the ball.

It would be BS if Raiders kicked the xp and the game ends in a tie (like GB/Dallas earlier this year). The point of OT is to break the tie and determining a winner and loser. Why are we allowing teams to have the option to play for the tie?

So if 1st team doesn’t score, next team scores = winner.
If 1st team scores a FG, 2nd team MUST play for the TD.
If 1st team scores a TD(like Jax), 2nd team MUST go for 2(like LV).

So if the same situation was happening at the end of the fourth quarter you would say the Raiders theoretically need to go for two to avoid going to overtime?

Regulation is different… overtime is there to specifically break ties

It’s their choice but they can play for the tie on the 4th knowing there’s an OT. There’s no double OT in NFL so they need to force teams to play for the win in OT.

As a Jags fan with Bowers on his fantasy team, that worked out beautifully for me.

The answer is simple. No game clock in ot. Play until there’s a winner. Why is that so difficult?

Just do sudden death which was the best and most exciting system

It probably would still be that way had the Saints not ruined precious Brett Favre's miracle season.

Oh wait...Favre did that all by himself with that dumb cross-body throw.

Why do ties bother people so much, who cares.

So...in your scenario, back to the Coin flip being a huge advantage?

I mean, win the flip and get a few yards, trot out your 68- yarder kicker (Jags) and then don't collapse on D?

Yeah, few will like that rule once they're on the receiving end of it.

The OT period should be longer imo, but I’m ok with ties in the regular season.
