Did the NFL get rid of the double overtime? I noticed the Philly/Cinci game only had one overtime.

Back in 89 (The last Chiefs tie game) i believe they played two overtime periods? I could be wrong....

If memory serves, Nick Lowery had to kick twice due to a penalty, and he missed. In the playoffs, there can't be a tie, so it can go as long as it takes for someone to score.

Yup. I wrote about this last week and am glad everyone's on board. It makes way too much sense. I'm not sure how I feel about unlimited overtime, though. I think there's a point where you have to just call it a tie.

I'm tired of teams laying up in overtime to play for a field goal. And I'm tired of teams winning on the first possession.

The reason, by the way, that you play to 5 and not to 6 is that you want to prevent teams pinned back on the 1 yard line from purposely taking a safety on 4th down instead of punting the ball away to give the other team very good field position.

Was anyone else surprised that some of the Eagle's didn't know that the football game in regular season could actually end in a tie?

They also made comments that would imply that they thought that could happen in a playoff game also.

Sadly, I can imagine, It is 2008 and hell college has a killer overtime compared to the 1950's version of the NFL...

Would be nice if the NFL stepped up to the plate and actaully had a vision...

I like the way HS and College OTs are. Give each team the ball on the 20 and see what they can do. If, at the end of the first OT, they are still tied, switch posessions line them up and send them at it again.


Don't really see any major reasons why it wouldn't work in the Pros.

I 'm not a big fan of the college system. I don't like looking at the papers and seeing a score of 49-42, and I imagine it would drive fantasy football owners berzerk. Not to mention that Peyton Manning's TD record becomes worthless.
A new OT system would have to guard against statistical inflation.

At the most, a 5-point OT rule would only give players an extra TD.
