Is helping to ruin fandom in football. Probably hurting revenue as well, until the leagues figure out how to properly monetize it.

I loved it. It was the most sadistic, death by a 1000 cuts way for the game to end. They just had watch Drew methodically work it down to the 1 inch line. Slowly eating the clock. They even had to relive the losing TD twice. It was a great OT.

Doesn't the other team get a full possession regardless of how much time is on the clock if the first possession isn't a touchdown?
Lol no. They get the ball if the team with possession first doesn’t score a touchdown but if time runs out time runs out. So for instance if we ran the clock down to 10 seconds and Kicked a field goal, the falcons would have had 10 seconds to do something.

There is absolutely nothing wrong with this overtime rule. The game is made up of three phases: offense, defense, and special teams. If you have to kick off and want to win, it's simple. STOP THEM ON DEFENSE AND GET THE MOTHERLOVIN' BALL BACK. In the meantime, quit whining. I have another novel idea. How about you do something in regulation to win the game so it doesn't have to get to overtime?????
Oh, my God. Proceed to your wife/girlfriend's pure IMMEDIATELY and extract your nuts from her purse. Reattach them.

They made a big deal about how they reduced the overtime period to 10 minutes. Our drive ate up 7 minutes of that time. Even if they had kept us out of the end zone it is very likely that we would have kicked a field goal with under 2 minutes left. That would have put tremendous pressure on them to just get into field goal range to secure the tie. I love that we got the ball first but i would have been pissed if the situation was reversed. I don't think it is a coincidence that of the three overtime games so far this season, ours is the only one to not result in a tie.
agreed, its not uncommon to use 7 minutes to drive the length of the field so the other team no longer has a fair and equal chance to drive the length of the field to score
and i will go you one better, had we kicked and lets say they managed to get a FG in the 2 minutes that were left, they would be literally no time for us to have another possession to get the win
if they arent really concerned with a fair way to win the game in OT, then just end it right there at the end of regulation as a tie and go home

I just want to see each team guaranteed to get the ball once. We won this game the second we called the coin flip correctly - thats not really fair - regardless of opponent.
Each team gets the ball once. If tied after both team have a drive, next score wins. No ties.

That was my point, if we held them to a FG...

No need for overtime in the regular season. Overtime in the playoffs should be another quarter.

You're 25, and you don't realize how lucrative fantasy football is to the NFL?

I don't get why the clock can run out.
Keep the scoring rules the same or go back to sudden death, I don't care.
But time simply shouldn't be allowed to expire with the game tied.

Eh. My solution was very simple: No FGs in OT. First team to score a TD wins.
frick the each team gets a possession bs. If you can't stop a team from scoring a TD you deserve to lose. Period.

Not even close. It's probably 1 tie every 2-3 years if I had to guess. They had plenty of years with no ties and rarely a year with two.

NFL is trying to reduce the total game time. Earlier post. Said college rules coming; would not be surprised, but from the 40 or 50. The OT coin toss decided yesterday’s game cause neither D could stop the O. Better believe our DC took a deep breath when it was tails

I'll do you one even better: First to 6 points. No clock.
