Re: The Playoff Thread

I think the College rules are the best option, and I would be ok with a change to something similar (or the exact same) in the near future. While there is still a coin toss, each team gets to possess the ball - no matter what. Seems odd to have such a spectacular back and forth game, especially down the stretch, and then in the final period (OT) have the possibility of only one team possessing the ball. Let them go toe to toe for a couple more possessions, culminating with alternating two-point conversion attempts if it goes to the third OT period.

And do away with ties in the regular season...that's just dumb.

Yeah I'm not saying the argument is completely absurd, and the NCAA/International rules make sense too (btw, putting this overtime issue aside, just overall, I think the NCAA/IFAF rules make way more sense than the NFL ones).
I just get worked up by this "decided by the coin toss" argument. Like, they did play the drive.

Also, every body is getting this OT rules playoffs stats than 10 out of 11 coin toss winners won the game since the rule change... but forget the regular season stats which are 86-67-10 for the coin toss winner, only a 52.8 win percentage...

Re: The Playoff Thread

I hate the coin toss won the game BS. Like defense doesn't matter. Or boo hoo it's not fair. You know what else isn't fair? Life. Get used to it.

Stop them on defense with 13 seconds left.

I got no problem with the overtime rule.

Re: The Playoff Thread

The coin toss did not determine the winner/loser.

That doesn't mean there's not a better way to do it though.

No one has come up with a better solution that has some level of sudden death. There is nothing wrong with this OT format, just complainers that want fairness over core competence.

Re: The Playoff Thread

The problem in my eyes is, that in the past couple of years about every rule change benefitted the offense.

Yes, the Bills should have won in regulation and I won´t make a case for this game - or will I?

If you have games with mediocre offenses, the overtime is okay. Not great, but okay.

But there are some teams in this league, Chiefs, Bills, in normal form Bucs or Packers, too - when they win the coin toss you´re 80% sure they won the game.

Everyone (I obviously exaggerate) wants to see high octane offenses. Games that end 10:7 because of a great defenses are often called "boring".

Wanting more offense offense offense and then saying "you need to be able to play great defense in overtime" is, in my humble opinion, a case of "I want to have the cake and eat it"

Re: The Playoff Thread

KC is going to win the SB, Mahomes is the best QB with the best team around him left.

Rams would be my 2nd bet.

I think KC beats Cin by 2 TDS

Rams beat SF by 4

Re: The Playoff Thread

I'm still pissed about the Bills coaching and defense last week. They should be going to the Super Bowl.

Re: The Playoff Thread

KC is by far team best set to win. Especially if it moves to Dallas

Must be nice to be a KC fan.. Mahomes is a HOF QB already and he’s only like 26

I would love to see Aaron Donald and Von Miller get after Mahomes.

Well someone is going to be fired from CBS for that NFL halftime show. What a disaster - funny as hell though. Boomer finally was the one who did the Emperor has no clothes comment when he pointed out he couldn't hear a damn thing that was just said by another panel member.
