Overtime is decided by a quarterback skills competition. Problem solved. (Sly smile in the direction of Patrick Mahomes II.)

I think playing 10 minute quarters until there is a winner is reasonable but I also don't have an issue with the current rules.

Yep - no one is EVER going to be satisfied. Most of the bitching is coming from pundits and fans. The majority of Players and Coaches have NO DESIRE to play any longer than they have to in an overtime. They also have no desire to play anything close to the College Clown Show rules.

If you lose the toss, make a ****ing stop and hold them to 3. If you can't do that, then **** off. I felt the exact same way after it was handed to the Chiefs in the 2019 AFCCG.

Why not do a "jump ball" at the 50? Live ball, sudden death.

Then you’re completely ignoring player health.

The reason the rules are the way they are is because the studies they’ve done show that the likelihood of injuries goes way up.

I think the 17th game is bullshit, but a fair overtime is a very small issue in the grand scheme of things as far as more football.

Yup. NFLPA gonna step in if the NFL tries to enforce a full quarter OT, you can bet your ass on that.

The people who care what they think are teenage girls...

There is no “fair” OT that doesn’t prolong the game even further and increase the likelihood of injuries.

Fair is only when your team wins.

Yeah, and it always goes further than that, too... beyond "just stop them in OT", but make a stop at the end of regulation or in the 4th quarter or in the 2nd half.

That's why I've always been pretty 'meh' on the sudden death part... had the Chiefs lost the toss and the Bills scored a TD, it would have made it two TDs in the last two minutes or so of regulation and a 3rd in OT. And the same for the Bills..... both teams had their chances to prevent OT all together.

Or stop them in the first half. Every play counts. KC had two touchdown drives in the first half where Mahomes kept pulling off miracle plays on 3rd and Long. It was the first half, so Buffalo’s defense was not worn out at the time. They had plenty of chances to win in regulation. Heck, the Chiefs’ great kicker gave away 4 points. That was pretty helpful to Buffalo in such a close game.

That's where I'm at. The overtime system sucks, but I've yet to hear an idea that's better.

The one idea I like is skipping the coin toss in the playoffs, and giving the home team the ball. Because, A) the home team earned it, and B) the visiting team knows going in they better not let it get to OT.

Reason 6,073,973,114,893,267,888,531 not to watch these shit for brains open their ****holes.

Those pointing out this guy being a hypocrite are absolutely correct. Guess what’s also correct, these mongoloids DO. NOT. CARE. They have no aspirations to be fair, reasonable, genuine, or correct. Just spew hot takes, get clicks, get money. It’s literally the worst thing about sports.

Just turn the shit off.
