I would like to see changes. Not that it isn't working, I would like to see it last a little longer for more football. I also don't like the getting into range and teams running and kicking.

I would like things basically the same, except. On the first possession in OT, 6 points wins, 3 doesn't automatically. If the first team gets stopped and only scores a FG, the other team gets a chance to tie it with a FG or win with a TD. If the second team doesn't match the first wins.

I think this would make the teams play harder instead of settling for a FG. If each team scores a FG in OT then it goes to normal sudden death and next score wins.

i like it the way it is.

plus, i like the phrase "sudden death". if they change it i won't get to say that phrase as often. not that i actually say "sudden death" outloud every time a game goes into overtime, but i've thought about saying it more than a few times. i guess i really just want to protect my right to think about saying "sudden death"...outloud.

You're a truly Renaissance man arrow.


As to the NFl OT debate, I also like it the way it is.

Either that or we let the Gods decide, let each side choose a champion....true "sudden death".......

Before the NFL even thinks about the OT rules theyy need to start changing the "touch the QB the wrong way" penalties. Seriously, how inconsistent can you be?

Tom Brady- gets roughing the passer calls ALL THE TIME
as does Peyton Manning(when he gets hit once every season)^^^
Aaron Rodgers- rarely
Chad Henne- probably more rare (just wanted to use a lesser known one as an example)

Even Voldemort and Brees don't get calls sometimes when I KNOW Tom Brady would get them.

It's ridiculous how, where and when it is "legal" to hit a QB now, and the refs are HORRIBLY inconsistent around the league in keeping those penalties from player to player. Here's a link  to some stats, as what I posted was just what I watched/thought this year. (no 2009 stats but still pretty interesting to see)
