Recruiting Forum Football Talk IV

and if you know your kicker sucks you better go for broke

just an extra wrinkle of strategy, and an improvement in competition overall, that would better the game as a whole

yes sir, at least this way is fair and each team has the same opportunity

Whelp, me and the whole family have COVID. WGWTFA.

Going through my house as well. I either somehow have got lucky or a symptomatic or my turn coming as all but me seems to have had a touch of it past few days. Minor symptoms overall thankfully. Seems like everyone i talk to had it this weekend too or had it last weekend. Spreading like crazy

PSA: the NFL’s overtime rules are TRASH

Google is your friend

Jeez. Maybe the guy wanted some firsthand anecdotal input. You know google is not the be all to end all - they filter info like crazy.

Bills would have had a chance if they had held to a FG in OT. They didn’t hold for 13 seconds and didn’t stop from end zone on OT. They had their chances. Id hate to be a DC in the 13 second spot vs Cheifs. How do you really defend that? You have to play deep or Hill runs by you. Play deep and Kelce kills you down middle. No perfect way to defend that offense in that spot. Any other team loses there except cheifs

 

[Sugaray13]

High school overtime rules would be better than what the NFL currently has. Each team gets the ball at the 10 yard line. With the new analytics that they use it would be interesting to see how many go for it on 4th and 1,2 or 3 instead of kicking a FG.

Pretty sure the ole Rona finally got me. Fever, sore throat and body aches....gonna test later to be sure. Herd immunity will be a thing soon at this rate.

 

[Volsdeep4]

how old are your kids? leave enough for them to make it through 18 and pay for college.

5 and 2. That’s the original plan. Have that money in case anything happens to me or have it to where they can pull it out for college if they go that route

 

[VolGee4]

I get both sides of the OT argument. As a fan, it does stink. But, it is something that is part of a collective bargaining agreement and voted on by teams. So, a majority has to be in favor of a change. It's hard for me to show outrage when the teams don't vote to change it. But, of course, it wasn't my team.

“It’s all come down to Overtime here in Game 7 of the 1984 NBA Finals. Lakers won the toss, so they will inbound first, length of the floor to go. Magic with the drive, drops it off to Kareem. Kareem, sky hook…GOOD! LAKERS WIN!!!”

“Oh man. Heartbroken for Bird and the whole Celtics team, but they got no one to blame but themselves. Have to play better defense in that situation.”

Not to mention that they had 60 minutes of actual game time to stop them.....

I agree. In a playoff situation, I think they should play an extra quarter. If the game is still tied, play another quarter. There is too much at stake to use the current rules.

I don't know if this will post correctly because Youtube/VN haven't been syncing well lately.

The ref literally says "We are going to start a new game." They all say that at the beginning of every NFL OT as part of their spiel. If you are "going to start a new game" then both offenses should touch the ball, and both defenses should have to "stop them."

And vice versa. Moot point.

The fact is, the way each offense/defense was going, whoever won that coin toss was going to win last night. And that's stupid.

It’s accepted in no other sporting context except NFL football. Even other levels of football don’t accept it.

My viewing of VN is like Doc, I'm on here at most once in the morning because that usually gives me anywhere between 15 to 50 pages to read. It truly is amazing to read that many pages at one reading because you guys will argue about anything.

Apparently McGill does the same as he generally has 5 or 6 posts in a row about what he absolutely hates today..lol

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

Those same fans back in the day would have complained about the fact that the Steelers won the super bowl every year…parity is good which means free agency is good, college and pro. Seeing games like we saw yesterday is all because of parity

Free agency with no draft or salary cap like CFB is now doing is insanity..it is like they are trying to destroy the sport.

 

[BucVol98]

Or just do what colleges do, less fatigue than full extra quarters IMO

Consecutive posts. Perfection.

 

[BigSteve09]

Flipping a novelty coin to decide first possession in a sudden death overtime, in the current NFL which has never been more swayed to the offense's advantage, is pretty silly.

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

Shorter than regular team but that is also part of the reason for nfl overtime rule….. player safety…..

Bubble wrap ...I get that during the long season...but not for post season...it is a stupid way to decide a game of that importance.

I think overtime should be both teams get the ball on a kickoff until one team doesn't score a TD....no FGs or even EPs.

 

[VOLINVONORE]

Maybe, but to me, 2 point conversions are not really playing football. It would almost be like kicking 45 yard field goals until someone misses one.

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

I feel the same way about NFL OT rules that I do about running up the score in most games….if you don’t like it, then stop them.

Both teams should have to "stop them"

It was sudden victory for the Chiefs. At least some folks call it that.

Everyone knew what it was.

I like the old CFB OT rules. They used to win the toss and WANT to go on defense first.
