What are your thoughts? My only complaint is why use it exclusively during the playoffs?

I agree, I think the rules would be just fine to use in the NFL. Most of the time both teams get the ball anyways. Just make it to where both teams get it once.
Ya it would be nice if coaches already had a feel for it. Do I take the ball first? Play defense? If I'm inside the 10 do I go for 6 to end it or do I go ahead and take the 3 and try and stop them?

I wish College would adopt this rule.
Yeah... these are really hard choices. They should scrap it.
The NFL has too many exceptions to too many rules.
Where can I get Boomer Sooner ringtone? TIA
The choices aren't hard but when you go in w/ absolutely zero experience it will make you 2nd guess yourself. And again, I never said I didn't like it. I just don't like the fact they break it out during the most important games of the season.Originally Posted by Aldebaran

My overtime rule would be very simple. Just continue the game as if there is a 5th quarter carried over from the 4th quarter. First team to score wins. Don't even do a coin flip.
Ummmm... someone remind me what the new rules are for NFL overtime plz
Me too. I don't pay attention to the NFL when I can watch the Sooners instead.
Team 1 gets ball...if they score TD, game over. If they score FG, team 2 gets ball and has chance to tie with FG or win with TD. If team 2 scores FG then it's sudden death.
I guess the game ends on a safety too since team 2 would get the ball back anyway.

The new rules are stupid.
What's wrong with the college rules for the NFL? Both teams get a shot.
Innnnnteresting... if I had a mustache, if I could even grow a mustache, here's where I'd be twisting it in an intrigued way.
I have not idea how this will work, but the Packers lost in OT last year to end their playoff run, so I'd rather the Pack not test these rules out and let someone else experiment with it first.
Stoops has always complained that OT rewards teams with good field goal kickers (and since Harrrrtley is in nawlins now, sucks for us) so perhaps if this works out, this would be a good solution to a bad problem.
I would say move it back to the 50 if you did that. I don't like taking out 2/3 of the special teams during the college rules OT. Like someone posted above, why change what you played for 4 quarters? Basketball and baseball don't do it. Sure basketball shortens the quarters but fundamentally it's the same game.

I like the College rule somewhat. To me the only change you should make is have both teams have the ball once then have it be sudden death. Other than that you have the same rules as regulation. I agree, that changing the game fundamentally is stupid and it's why the college OT sucks.
If the NFL wanted to recruit more futbol fans and not just football fans, they could borrow soccer's rules and have penalty kicks
Official: Kickers, bid on who can make the longest kick. The highest bid gets to attempt. If you make it, you win. If you miss it, you lose.
Ryan Longwell: Oh crap, we're outdoors... 40 yards?
Garrett Hartley: SIXTY EFFING YARDS!
Official: OK, Hartley will attempt from 60 yards.
(Hartley makes it)
Official: Saints are going to the Super Bowl!
Favre: Well shoot, looks like I'm retiring... until Longwell and others visit my Mississippi residence in the offseason to pull me back for one last season.
possessions don't matter as much in basketball though. you'd have to play two more timed periods where they both kicked off to make it fair, really
Why not just go untimed and have where both teams get it once. If the score is still tied after that we go to sudden death. Maybe after 3 or 4 times where nobody scores or it is still tied, you have to go for it on 4th down and go for 2 for every TD. Something like the current OT does in college football.
