I think its time for this to be changed Give the other side a chance to answer, I think it would add to the excitement of the game.
No, it's not. Like they said yesterday, just play defense if you lose the flip. It's like people think everybody scores everytime they get the ball. If that was the case games would be 110-100 every week. They don't. PLAY DEFENSE and stop whining,
I know that winning the flip does not grant you a win every time, cmon.... my thoughts are it would add to the excitement of the game and make it more like the last 2 minutes in regulation,
No Football is not a game of offense. It's a game of offense AND defense. If a team's defense gives up a score, than that's too bad for the opposing offense. It's a team sport. Not an offensive sport. A defense has a perfectly fair chance to stop an offense in OT. If they can't, than they deserve to lose.
I'd actually like to see them play a full quarter. Outside of that I would leave things as they are now.
The problem with this would be games being too long. The players get bruised and battered enough in a regular game, yet alone an OT game. Make it a full quarter and it will be pretty brutal. And not only that, but it would make ties more common.
it's been time for years. It's a bad system. Unfortunately, the only time people care is when it affects the outcome of a playoff game.
The OT coin flip has always been stupid. What the NFL should do is make it the first team to score 6 points wins. Two FGs or a touchdown. And if the game ends before either team does that, whatever the score is counts. That is the best method.
I hope they change it to the way college ot is, it will make the ot more fun to watch and more fair u give both offenses a shot rather than deciding the game on a coin flip.
I didn't say you were, but I do believe that if the Colts won the coin toss and Manning marched the offense down the field and scored, the media and many NFL fans wouldn't be making nearly as much of a fuss over this.
Yeah, give both teams a possession. You should also automatically extend regulation time by five minutes if a team scores after the two minute warning, otherwise the opponent has no chance to respond. Or keep everything as is.
