OT: NFL play off games.
- Thread starter skysdad
- Start date
Welp, third straight year where I absolutely hate both Super Bowl teams. God, this has been a miserable 3 year stretch of the NFL. Wish we could go back to 2015. I hate everything.
I just don't like the OT rules. A team wins the toss, goes down and scores a T.D. and the other team doesn't get a chance. Both teams should have the same chance. OFC
Tom Brady looks so genuinely happy in this post game interview. It makes me absolutely sick.
One thing college has right. But instead of starting at the 35, they should just kick it off. Or, just play an additional 15 minute quarter.
Hard to beat TB12 and the Patriots... would’ve loved to see them lose.. do wish the overtime rules were different where both teams had a chance to score
I (sort of) understand why they don't move to a college style OT rules during the regular season. I think the NFL doesn't want a situation wherein their assets play an extra game some years if they have a long OT. Plus, the TV partners aren't crazy about that either.

But in the playoffs? Both Os should get a shot.
.
That said, the Chiefs need some defenders. Their O is built for front running, when the other team is throwing all the time. They don't do well when the other team can be diverse in its play calling.
Belichick just smiled. Pretty sure that’s a sign the apocalypse is coming. Stock up on bread, milk, and beer.
Me and my dad were talking about that after the game. It’s a ridiculously stupid rule. Like you said, it’s completely unfair to the other team for them to not even get a chance to tie the game just because they didn’t get the ball first. They need to go back to the old rule where they play until a team is ahead at the end of overtime regardless of how many overtimes they have to play.
I know the officiating is bad but I don’t feel sorry for either losing team. The Saints had a 13 point lead at home in the dome. They choked and let the Rams stick around. And if it had been the other way around and K.C had won the toss and scored a TD no one would’ve said a word about the O.T rules. Maybe if K.C had played some defense and stopped Edelman they would’ve gotten a chance. Tough luck! Best of luck to both teams.
Montana Imo undefeated year n Super Bowls with no interceptions in an era in which the rules were not so slanted in favor of the offense
I would’ve still felt the same way about the overtime rules even if the Chiefs had won because like I said in my first post I just think the rules are really stupid.
This is what I think also....in an era where QB where crushed routinely....
Also....I know it will sound like sour grapes but Brady has actually been about the luckiest QB I’ve ever seen...
Oakland with the tuck rule....shouldn’t have even played in the first Super Bowl
Seattle not running the ball with Lynch to win the game and Wilson throwing that pick...by all accounts over a contract and not wanting Beats mode to be mvp....just stupid...
Atlanta inespically throwing up by a ton and getting stripped sacked and entire game shifting..,,another unbelievable coaching blunder....
Last night...Brady throws a pick and game is over....guy is lined up offsides? I mean what are the chances?? But it’s Brady.....so he gets the ball back and of course they score....
Add in Spy Gate and Deflategate....and the fact Belichcik went 11-5 the year Brady got hurt....
I just think it’s Joe Montana.....I do however think Belichick is the greatest that’s ever done it in football...
He drafts last every year....players are always different...8 straight AFC championship apparently.....9 Superbowls as a head coach.....he is masterful.....has to be the best ever....
I feel your pain Pixel, Tom Brady is the biggest douche to ever play any sport (excluding ya know murderers and the like because that's more than douchey) Tom Brady is that co worker I the movies who's already extremely talented and one of the best, but pulls dirty **** to get even further ahead. Easy pick for the Super bowl for me, Go Rams, ABP
I take that back. What’s the sport where 1 guy pushes this thing across the ice while 2 guys are scratching the ice in front of the thing trying to land on the bullseye? Hahha yea that!
