When there is a tie, do you think that each team should have the opportunity to get the ball like in college football?
Just curious.
Of course the Dolphins blew it with an interception after getting the ball in OT.

I think it would be more exciting to play overtime the way college does it.
I don't even think they need any OT periods---a tie can suffice
BUT
If you are going to have OT I would like to see the team that is down get a shot to score and even it up

I think the game should just continue... if you have the ball on your own 10; we just trade directions and play on until someone scores. If you score on the last play of the game you would have to kick off.... just keep playing the same game; that is what every other sport does.
Why change the rules; you might as well each draw a card and put it up to your forhead and see who has the highest card.

My husband thinks your way TR, team down gets the ball back.
However, that's tough one, today the Dolphins got the ball in OT, lost the chance on an interception, and the Titans won on a FG.
I say the Dolphins had the chance and lost it, no way did they deserve the second chance.

I like the way high school and college football does it. But I could see just extending the 4th quarter and playing the OT like it's a second quarter of a half. But play the entire OT; not just until someone scores.
I am not a fan of ties in football. This isn't s****r or hockey..

S0ccer and hockey have shootouts much like the concept of how high school and college football break ties.quote:I am not a fan of ties in football. This isn't s****r or hockey..
The reason high school and college use the tiebreakers is to not overextend the players. I believe in pro football if a team scores the opposing team should get a chance if they've had one less possession.
Don't look for the pro overtime rule to change anytime soon. It was discussed at the last meetings. It was agreed the current method is preferred by management and owners.

Except that s****r and hockey don't always use them. I've never seen a college football game ended in a tie (I know it used to be done). I've watched more than my share of college s****r games to a 100-minute 0-0 tie.
The PA state stinker championship (AAA) ended in a 0-0 tie this year. Nobody scored in 2 OTs. Rules say no shoot-out, in final. Not the first time it's happened.
