Nfl makes great call on Playoff overtime rule

[wayne1218]

is team A receives the kickoff, then punts to team B, then team B goes down and kicks a field goal, is it over?

Yes, each team had a possesion.

I saw rule change today but now I see your right Spark it says playoffs.If you want to add "playoff" to my title,my dumbass would appreciate it

so this benefits defensive-minded teams? just hold them or force a turnover, get a FG yourself, then it's over...

[Spark]

That is the other thing i hate. Why just the playoffs? Just make it the "Overtime" rule, PERIOD!

That is the dumbest thing I have heard ... that is why I had to ask if my buddy was correct ... it is hard to believe it is not for reg season ...

Right, but that would be no different than the old way so i don't think it really benefits the defense any more than it did. Before if you held them and scored yourself, you won then too.

so really this prevents the coin toss winner from hitting up 1 or 2 decent plays then playing for the FG, it actually makes them have to punch it in or possibly face the risk of the other team marching down and doing the same...

i think i prefer overtime to be like the college ot, except from the 40 yd line instead of the 25...
