Re: NFL is behind the times with OT rules
This has nothing to do with the OT rules. Again, it's not just 1 game. It's how the rules are set up in general, it lacks parity. The Bills game was just the latest example of this. 13 seconds left....all that, shouldn't even be a part of the conversation about OT rules. It has NOTHING TO DO WITH IT.ThunderTung wrote: ↑Tue Jan 25, 2022 11:34 amThis loss goes on BUF's coaching staff as soon as they decided that 13 seconds wasnt enough time for KC. the people upset are acting as if the NFL gave KC the ball on the 15 yard line.

I agree the coaching staff blew it. I think they should be fired, personally. It's just the conversation about that and the rules of OT are 2 different ones.

Re: NFL is behind the times with OT rules
BUF kicked the ball off, with a lead, with 13 seconds remaining. There is no excuse for blowing that lead. and regardless of why they went to OT, the coin doesnt determine the winner, both teams still have to play. KC still needed to go down and score a TD, and BUF still needed to stop them, BUF didnt, and KC did. Thats game, thats football. Blaming KC winning on a coin toss and not BUF choking at the end of regulation and OT feels like a way to let BUF off the hook, and takes away from what KC really didqazxswedcvfrtgbnhyuj wrote: ↑Tue Jan 25, 2022 12:46 pmBecause you can make that argument for both teams.

And again, the fact that Buff should not have let the Chiefs back in the game (while true) has nothing to do with the point we are trying to make about the OT system being a faulty one.

If you can't stop a team from driving the length of the field for a TD, the loss is earned. Is there data on that the coin flip winner has a significant advantage? Is there corresponding data for college?
I think college OT is nuts. A game that goes into overtime at 3-3 can end up 34-37.
Bills played a great game. So did the Chiefs.
I didn't read this entire thread so apologies if this has been discussed:
But doesn't the NFL want these overtime games to be quick so that the players aren't (further) subject to injury? I believe they've done studies on how likely injuries are to occur following an overtime game. The winner of this game has to play in the conference championship next week. Can you imagine the physical toll an additional 15(?) 20(?) 30(?) minutes of NFL football would have?...and therefore, the disadvantage it would present to that team for winning the week before? I think that disadvantage FAR outweighs the disadvantage of losing the coin toss and having a change to stop the other team from driving the length of the field.
I get that it's frustrating but I also don't think it's an easy fix, all things considered
They dont deserve to be healthy if they cant win in regulation.

Re: NFL is behind the times with OT rules
10-1 seems irrelevant considering that the other team got a chance on offense 3 of those times. I just dont think the OT system is faulty, and i think the stats over the last 10 years including the regular season reflect a pretty even balance. It feels louder in the playoffs, because the losing side is upset and looking for something to blame it on considering their season is overqazxswedcvfrtgbnhyuj wrote: ↑Tue Jan 25, 2022 2:15 pmOn the first drive.

Re: NFL is behind the times with OT rules
You don't really need a large sample size to understand the concept that the team that gets the ball first has an advantage. It's common sense. Again, point me to another major sport that has this lack of parity. There's literally no logical argument that the OT rules in the NFL are an even playing field.

have you considered ties?
win%: 52.8
tie%: 6.1
loss%: 41.1
it doesn't look all that balanced. the sample size is still small, though, and of course, overtime games aren't a 50/50 event, one team is generally better than the other, so you can win the toss after getting into overtime thanks to an excellent defense, and still blow it. it's hard to determine whether the result is due to the toss or the actual teams.
so now it comes down to common sense: getting the ball first gives you an advantage, i can't see how anyone can say it doesn't.
but if you have doubts, how about this stat: when winning an overtime coin toss, how many teams have decided to kick the ball, rather than receive it?

Foodie. Well done steak goes in the trash.
Habaneros make the best tasting hot sauce. Throwing a bunch of random stuff on top of fries doesn't mean you call it "poutine".

Re: NFL is behind the times with OT rules
Since I know nothing about cricket I tried to make it just about the 3-4 other US sports. I don't think football has any interest in playing quarter after quarter until one team wins.FantasyFreak wrote: ↑Wed Jan 26, 2022 4:49 am....and there sport has parity in their overtime (extra innings). What about cricket? I believe that is similar in that regard. Also has parity, vs the NFL.abloom wrote: ↑Wed Jan 26, 2022 3:17 amThe only other common sport where the teams field offensive and defensive teams separately is baseball which has a widely different length component and no contact.FantasyFreak wrote: ↑Tue Jan 25, 2022 9:22 pm You don't really need a large sample size to understand the concept that the team that gets the ball first has an advantage. It's common sense. Again, point me to another major sport that has this lack of parity. There's literally no logical argument that the OT rules in the NFL are an even playing field.
As I suggested earlier, to get rid of ties and OT just provide the home team with a 0.5 - 0 lead to start. (Or just say ties to to the home team).
