TheRussianRocket. Posted January 17, 2016 Share Posted January 17, 2016 Now that was some crazy game...don't know why GB coaching hasn't played Jeff Janis over Devante all season...DA is just a drop machine and JA is a pure athlete who gives them a new look especially with Nelson out. Maybe they learn for next season now to play him more often...STH family has been preaching that all year long lol. ...really happy for Fitzgerald. One guy I have rooted for since day 1. Hope he wins a SB before he calls it quits. And it's now been 5 years in a row GB has lost in the divisional round. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The current set up makes the coin toss actually mean something. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Each team should get at least one possession. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pears Posted January 17, 2016 Share Posted January 17, 2016 Just saw the highlights of the game. If there's any QB you don't want to give a chance to tie/win a game it's Aaron Rodgers. Nice to see Arizona moving on though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheRussianRocket. Posted January 17, 2016 Share Posted January 17, 2016 Current OT rules are fine. Before it was messed up when first point won which was all about getting in field goal range. This is pretty much dead even in terms of fairness. Don't give up a TD and you'll get an offensive possession, it's that simple. If you do, plain and simple you gave up the big play and it's game over. Called overtime for a reason otherwise they'd make it a 5th quarter imo. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Apple Juice Posted January 17, 2016 Share Posted January 17, 2016 How many times will Rodgers complete a Hail Mary pass? In recent memory, that's 3 attempts in the past 2 or 3 seasons that he's completed successfully. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This would be like a NHL shootout being first goal wins and using a coin flip to pick the team who shoots first. Don't give up a goal and you'll get a chance to shoot, it's that simple. If you do, plain and simple you gave up the big play and it's game over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you do, plain and simple you gave up the big play and it's game over. That example isn't at all similar. Shootouts are 1v1, a football play is 11v11. You aren't going to decide a game with 1 player (or 3) from each team, especially in the playoffs, which is why NHL playoff overtime is continuous until someone scores.There are plenty of opportunities for a defense to not give up a touchdown. Think of how many times in a game it happens. If they give up the field goal, or better yet get a stop, they give their team a chance to win. As RR said, it is called overtime for a reason. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M A K A V E L I 96 Posted January 17, 2016 Share Posted January 17, 2016 Around 20% of OT games end with a touchdown on the first drive. That's a significant enough percentage to have a minimum of one possession per team if you want the game to be decided on a fair basis. If you don't like the hockey example, you can look at extra innings in baseball. What if they changed it so that first run wins and a coin toss is used to determine which team bats first instead of the usual away/home order. I'm not a Green Bay fan, but it's now two years in a row they've been eliminated from the playoffs due to this rule. Think of all the time and effort put into the season to have it end like this. If you can easily make the OT rules more fair, why wouldn't you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jiggs50 Posted January 17, 2016 Share Posted January 17, 2016 Nfl ot rules are fine. Like TRR said, it wouldn't be called ot if they changed up all the rules. The better team won anyway so it's all good. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you can easily make the OT rules more fair, why wouldn't you? What I see there is that %20 of teams can't play defense when it matters most, not that they deserve another chance at it. 1 in 5 isn't very high to me. 4 in 5 would be more telling. As in 4 out of 5 teams that lose the coin have a chance to win the game. The coin flip only provides an advantage in OT, not the decision. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
