Recruiting Forum Football Talk IV

Now we’re talking! Energy drinks will fight to the SUDDEN DEATH to sponsor that!

It wouldn't take long before people would love SUDDEN DEATH.

I don’t know what that has to do with bad overtime rules.

The refs say it when they flip the coin: “It’s a new game.” Why design that game to make it possible for one team not to get a shot? Just doesn’t make sense to me (and I’m at the back of a really long line on that one).

They had a shot….. just get one stop….. hold them to a field goal and Allen gets on the field.

Coin flips are a mutha. Rules are fine.

Nah. It’s not fine, but that’s just my opinion. It’s easy to say “just stop them” but that’s easier said than done when both defenses are sucking wind.

There’s no perfect rules. Change em and find out what’s wrong with what you instituted.

 

[TheMookieMonster]

They didn’t lose bc they didn’t touch the ball….. they lost bc they couldn’t get one single stop.

Easier said than done when neither defense could get a stop. Both defenses were absolutely gassed. Why should one team be put at a severe disadvantage because of a coin flip?

Part of the game. Mebbe it’ll be fairer when we start using robots.

Luck of the call. Next!

Which makes what he’s doing at the Titans remarkable. Vrable crushing it considering the terrible QB play.

I would like to see them do what the Rams did and bundle the QB with a few pics to trade for Rodgers if he wants out of GB. If would think the talent the Titans have would be enticing to a QB looking for a ring. If nothing else Tannehill for Deshaun Watson…I’m sure Nashville has massage parlors.

Imagine if soccer penalty shootouts were sudden death, first guy to make one wins. Sure, you could say “well, if the goalie just stopped that first one, they would have gotten their chance.” I mean, it’s true, but is there anyone on Earth that would think that wasn’t patently unfair to the team that lost the toss?

That’s why the league/players don’t really want longer overtimes….. it greatly increases the chances of injuries.

The biggest risk would be we might miss of a couple of segments of 60 Minutes.

I’d have to imagine giving a crap about soccer in the first place…too big a stretch.

Well, we’ll just agree to disagree. I don’t think “luck” should be a determinant in the NFL playoffs.

You’re missing 60 Minutes arguing with me, Butchna. Glad Mahomes scored so quickly so you could watch it.

Soccer penalty shootouts are a horrible way to decide a game….. are you advocating us to stop playing football and kick field goals to determine the winner?

“Wouldn’t say I really MISSED IT…Bob.”

I’ll deal with my own trials and tribulations Jimmy…go eat that world that’s been sitting in the fridge.

You’d have to be purposely obtuse to believe that is what I was arguing.

I don’t agree that you should disagree with me.

I imagine the players prefer the current rules during the season. Maybe they don't, idk.

Seems like the union would advocate for a post-season rule change.

Heck, lets get wild and do hockey style. 7v7 overtime. Each team starts from the 50, no field goals. 15 minute rolling clock. No timeouts. Lol

I was being sarcastic but they lower overtime minutes and then do penalty kicks for the same reason nfl players don’t need/want longer playing time.

You know that's not at all what he just said right? You can't possibly think that's what he was advocating? Can you?

Quiet, Mookie! He’s trying to hear Leslie Stahl!

Players get paid and they’ll survive. Owners like to sell more games…but they want them to end.
