You'd be good if the Chiefs had to play the equivalent of 2 or 3 overtime periods this week, and then go on to the Bengals next week (who already have an extra day's rest)?

I’ll just stop you right there. At what point is player health a concern?

The Chiefs deserved to lose in 2018. Buffalo deserved to lose Sunday.

The OT rules are fine the way they are. If Buffalo simply holds KC to a FG, they have a chance to go get the TD for the win.

You don’t even have to force the other team to punt. Simply hold them to a FG and you get your chance.

Buffalo deserves zero sympathy. Buffalo voted against KC’s idea to change the rule a few years ago.

I hate sharing a real name with this dude.

I'm changing my last name....

You can call me Kyle Mahomes

And yeah, if we're in an OT situation where our defense truly is utter trash and we're just going to end up getting ****ed in the end, I'd like to see Andy Reid employ that strategy.

We've done okay in goal line stand situations this year. That's probably our best chance at victory if we lose the toss. And if the opposing team scored and won the game, I'd at least appreciate that we tried to take the matter into our own hands instead of just whining about losing by a coin toss because we were incompetent on defense.

1. Each team gets one possession.
2. Touchdown beats field goal, field goal beats yards gained, if no one scores, the team that gets the most yardage wins.
3. The two possessions are played simutaneously with 44 players on the field. Anyone can run, block, tackle, or catch for any unit.

Good thing we played the #1 defense, otherwise people would really be bitching.

Rules is Rules. Tell it to Dee Ford.

You used to collect ants and put them in a jar with water and just a few twigs as a kid, didn't you.

this is the best idea of the whole lot. hfa would really be an advantage then.

The coin toss winner still probably benefits though. Is it sudden death after both teams score the TD?

In terms of the defense being out of gas, Buffalo gave up a ton of miracle 3rd down conversions by Mahomes in the first half. They were not tired at this point of the game, he just beat them with awesome playmaking. Heck, KC kicker even gave Buffalo a 4 point boost in regulation. Every play matters, but people seem to obsess about the final minutes of the game.

So? Just Australian rules football?

These overtime rule changes are so poorly thought out.

Im so sick of hearing this. It's STILL not fair. All you're doing is extending the game.

Ok, so Mahomes get the ball and scores. Great.

Then Allen gets the ball and scores. Great.

NOW what? Now the next score wins? NOW the defense matters? So Mahomes gets the ball after Allen scores, goes down the field and scores. Can the game be over now, or does Allen still get another chance to make it fair?

At what point do we acknoweldge that a stop has to be made? And if a stop HAS to be made, then wtf is the point of extending it at all? Just so Allen can score one more touchdown and still lose the exact same ****ing way when Mahomes gets the ball back?

**************************

Ok, how about this for not fair:

Team 1 goes down and scores and elects to kick the XP.

Team 2 now has a HUGE advantage, as they can now elect for a 2pnt conversion and win the game outright.

In a situation in which both teams are guaranteed a possession, there's a very clear strategic advantage to receiving the ball 2nd.

Team 1 has to decide if they should kick the XP or go for two. If they go for 1, team 2 has a decided advantage over team 1 in their next possession as they KNOW they can win with a 2pt, while team 1 risks either losing by NOT going for 2, or going for 2, missing and then losing to team 2 who now only needs to kick an XP to win.

That's such a massive advantage to the team with the 2nd possession it's not even funny. Much bigger advantage than just winning a coin flip

**************************************************

And here's the real kicker:

In the playoffs, only 20% of the teams that receive the ball in OT are actually winning them on the first possession.

20% you dolts!

20%!


For that math illiterate, 80-mother****ing percent of the time BOTH QB'S ARE touching the ball under current rules.

80-mother****ing percent of the time both offenses get a chance in OT. Jesus.

This isn't even a real issue! LMAO It's a completely false narrative drummed up by pouty bitch ass losers. It's not even a real ****ing problem in the NFL for christ's sake.

Leave it to skill
 

How about each team gets to pick their own "Pickup sticks with your butt cheeks" contestant?

I don't know, the rule is the rule for a reason and if your defense can't hold the team who won the coin toss to at least a field goal then they deserve to lose giving up a TD.;)
