NFL owners will vote next week whether to allow each team a possession in overtime in the playoffs if the team winning the OT coin toss kicks a field goal on the first series. Though I agree that this has to change I think it needs to change for the whole year. College has the perfect system, and that's what I'd like to see in the NFL.
The reason for the change?
"Statistically, it is pretty clear there has been a change," McKay said. "When sudden death was put in for 1974, it clearly worked very well and was a good system. It brought excitement and effectively broke ties. From '74-'93 you had a 50-50 [breakdown] in who would win between those who won the toss and who lost the toss (ESPN)."
So what would I like to see?
- The same system as college. Each team gets a chance with the ball.
- Except for the pros I'd like to see it start at the 45 yard line, since the offenses/kickers are far better then college.
- After 2 possessions you have to go for the 2 point conversion (just like college).
Think of the possibilities. Brady vs. Manning, playoffs, overtime, going back and forth who will blink first. It would be amazing.
The players union of course has to shit in the apple pie. They are against all of this, because they say there is more chance of injury.....gay.
