Didn't they recently change the OT rules by forcing the team with first possession to score a TD instead of just a FG to end the game? What else would you suggest? Also from that Yahoo article. Quote:
Thing is both teams did have an equal chance to possess the ball. That is what the coin toss is all about.

So whoever had the ball at the end of the fourth quarter would still have the ball and the game plays for another 15 minutes only on playoff games.

That was my first thought as well but apparently they think that making players go another whole quarter is extremely debilitating physically.

Yes it is definitely Sudden Death but the problem is that the game doesn't allow both sides to score immediately. One side has to start out defending against the others point scoring drive.

Apparently someone tried to blind Tom Brady with a laser during the game.

How will John Madden figure that one out? Maybe they should use twitter and 'Merica could vote on who gets the ball.

What about the roughing the passer call in the fourth quarter on KC with Brady hardly being touched?

Was that before or after a KC fan tried to blind him with a green laser?

New England did play a better game though with Brady getting all of his usual attention. http://www.sportingnews.com/us/nfl/n...o1wacg94ssr56u Quote:

Yeah the football gods were indeed smiling upon the Pats. BTW how's that lineman taking it? He must feel like Bill Buckner.

In my opinion, There's two options that make sense for OT. Play a full quarter (or one of reduced length), or go with the College Rules.
True Sudden Death, or the version they're feeding us now, doesn't work for a possession based game. It makes complete sense for a low scoring sport with very fluid possession changes, like hockey. Basketball is too high scoring for sudden death, so they play another full period. But not only does football have regimented possessions, but it's a middle of the road as far as scoring goes. They need to find a format that offers each team a fair chance to score, but do it quickly. The college rules not only offer a balanced resolution, but those OT's can be really exciting. |

That's not a judgment call the refs should make bad as it was. Their job is to call the plays by the rules.
