No more than one 10-minute period will follow a three-minute intermission. Each team must possess, or have the opportunity to possess, the ball. The exception: if the team that gets the ball first scores a touchdown on the opening possession.

Ummm... can we... like have this in the game?

Just lost a Champ game in OT to FG and was eagerly waiting for the next play as we hadn't had the ball

Even the NFL rules are controversial. I don't think it's possible to have something that ensures the game ends and feels fair to everyone involved.

The main takeaway, I think, is you already had four quarters before OT to win. At that point, if a coin flip decides the winner so be it. Same thing with blaming a loss on a missed kick at the last second, and ignoring the hour prior to that kick where the team also didn't keep a lead.

I mean, there is a reason why they were redesigned for both college and the NFL, as fans, coaches, owners, etc. thought it wasn't exactly fair to lose like this.


And it's a bit disingenuous to say to the loser they deserved to lose to a coin flip by failing to win the game before it. Did the winners deserve to win the game by a coin flip by failing to win the game before it?



If it's too hard, it's too hard, if you like the current system and don't want it changed, then so be it - but saying it's on the loser for not winning fast enough is just dodging the issue because it's a late game one - which is the most crucial time to get things right in a competitive game.

Yes, the overtime rules are a long standing tradition at every level of play and are widely regarded as fair and balanced. They definitely aren't being changed every few years, bouncing between ending the game and "fairness".

I mentioned the NFL and college football, and the fact that they both had a rule change to similar to what is being asked for here, in the idea of fairness, and you jump on to the idea that all sports have rule changes from time to time?



You're gonna have to source me on those articles of the changes to overtime all the time, I wasn't aware it was such a large problem destroying our nation. Maybe Tucker can do a spot on it?

So, one online reaction poll - taken right after a loss that was effected by overtime and probably over represented by butthurt fans, showed that a slim majority of people say that overtime rules as they are aren't quite fair...



And that's proof that the system before that was a better one?


Or is it proof the rules are changing all the time?

What's even more salient is that the complaint these fans are making, is that it should be changed even further in the direction it was changed. They want the other team to get a chance to score a TD in return if they let one up.

Err... that's for a game where Chiefs scored a TD and the Bills defense couldn't do a thing.

Ummm... we caused 2 TFLs in their last 3 plays forcing a FG. I think the D did a fair crack at it, but offense had no chance. Had it been a TD then fine, hats off. But it's a FG.

We didn't get possession to see whether we could do better than FG. Had it been a FG, then OT carries on til the next score.

Chiefs-Bills game was at least fairer than what happened here. A TD is much more of an achievement and worthy of ending a game. I wouldn't be making any form of suggestion had we lost to a TD.

It's proof that the people that lose in overtime are never happy with overtime rules, and the current NFL rules are not the exception.

Which wasn't the point you were making - but I like this argument a bit better. It still ignores the fact that any and all changes that have been made or even proposed are in the same direction as what is being proposed here, and would put the game in line with rules that have been in place now for about 12 years.

All because someone is in the throes of being aggrieved does not mean their grievances hold no weight.

I mean, I know we're not in favor of keeping up with the times around here

The overtime rules in the game should mirror the NFL rules.
