THE HELL IS WITH THIS ASS!?





From now on if the game goes to OT both teams head home and the remainder of the game is played by the Lions (home) and the Bears (away).

What if it gives more power to punters?

My dumbass idea that will never happen to eliminate coin tosses is punters get a free kick from the 20, call their shot on where the ball ends up (must travel at least 30 yards to avoid shenanigans), and whoever is closer wins. Kicks happen at the same time, visiting team gets to choose which hash they punt from.

Make punting fun again!

Instead of a coin flip, OT should be decided by each O Line coming out and having to eat a 6 foot sub the quickest as a team. It lets the defense rest and gives the big boys a nice treat. Who says no

Here’s a wild one: for OT, each team gets one offensive play before official OT starts. The team with the greatest gain of yards gets the ball to start for OT. Extenuating rules for scoring, picks, etc. This is probably overly complicated though but it sounds fun.

Sounds perfect.

Uhhh...coin flip to decide who goes first?

Someone brought up a bidding system. You bid where you start the drive from, furthest distance wins the ball. Overtime rules otherwise unchanged.

Why is everyone making up these complicated rules? Just play extra quarters until it's no longer tied. At least for the playoffs, gimmicky rules can stay for the regular season.

OT is decided by a turducken eating contest held between the groups of linemen. Any team that won a Thanksgiving Day game is credited one turducken. Most turduckens devoured wins.

The ideal method for comparing two football teams has already been devised, and it's called football. No OT in the regular season, full 15 minute quarters until there is a winner in the playoffs.

OT ideas to make no one but players and networks happy

- Regular season has no OT. Games end in ties. Ties are fine, extra games means that you've already lost the perfect symmetry of 8-8 anyway.

- Postseason games that are tied at end of regulation go to time of possession. It creates extra drama on final drives, induces more 2pt attempts, and is completely within normal football rules. Old school football dinosaurs would love it, networks would love it because games end on time, players would love it because they play fewer plays per game.

Fans would probably hate it idk.

Defensive players might like it but offensive players welcome overtime as an opportunity to stack more statistics

I like the no overtime during the regular season rule but I don't like the time of possession idea. Too dependent on style of football, essentially penalizes a team for explosive plays which is wrong.

The correct answer as many have said is just to have a full quarter of overtime. It's unlikely to still be a tie after that but if it is, THEN they can go sudden death.

Overtime is decided with a live critique of dramatic movies a'la Siskel & Ebert thumbs up/thumbs down. Fans vote if they make a compelling argument for/against this criticism.

Maybe it's because I'm watching Marriage Story right now but I wanna see Mahomes debate Burrow on the acting chops of Adam Driver vs. Scarlett Johansson.

I think there’s a risk that guaranteeing possessions for both sides might make teams less aggressive in regulation, a bit like tournament soccer where teams will often start avoiding risks when overtime looms.

Knowing that you might get hosed by the coin is a powerful incentive not to get in that situation in the first place. Perhaps that risk, and the fear of turning into the Falcons, made the Rams go for it and win the game in the dying seconds before they lost momentum for good. It certainly made for a more exciting ending than kneeling out the clock in anticipation of a break before OT.

I'm a fan of "no overtime; if there's a tie, the last team that scored wins" for this very reason.

But then teams would never go for two to win the game so that’s a big no from me (It’d also mean more conservative play calling from offenses, kinda like old OT rules)

I might accept last team to score loses because it’d lead to weird endings
