NFL needs to redo the overtime rules...

There should not be a tie game in the NFL.  And just the same, they should ensure both teams get a fair chance to win the game.  

 

Make it sudden death after the first possession, regardless if each team gets a TD or a FG.  And the game goes on as if it's a playoff game.

I'd rather they just played another quarter and call the game at the end of it, but I'm mostly ok with what they have now. At least you can't eek out a drive to the 40 and win with a FG without the other team getting a shot any more. That was some fuging bullshit.

Yall are being ungrateful for this game ending up in a tie.  We could have lost.  As for changing the rules, no.  The rules are perfect the way they are.  You really want to play 6 quarters of football?  Hard hitting, season ending injury type football for 6 quarters?  Come now.  I rather walk away with a tie, than winning it in the 6th quarter and losing Olsen or someone else to a season ending injury.

College way is better. They don't drag on as long as some say, especially once they ramp up the stakes after the 2nd OT. But here you guys are advocating for a 2nd OT quarter, which would be far more taxing on the players than anything else.

    • No one is asking him to be Tom Brady. They're just asking him to be as good if not better than Cooper Rush, Jimmy Garoppolo and Carson Wentz. We'd like Young to be better than Sam Darnold and Baker Mayfield, but we're not even asking for that. No matter how you cut it he's going to be considered a bust for what was given up for him. He should be outpacing Cam Newton, Jake Delhomme and Kerry Collins game for game in their careers. He should at least be challenging the clutch level of Brady, Mahomes, Stafford, Goff, Garoppolo, Burrow, Hurts and Purdy. Remember that's based on the draft capital given up for Young, and not the extremely low bar Young has actually set for himself.
    • Even if you cherry pick Bryce post benching and ignore everything else and project it out over a full season….. there is no statistical  argument Kyler has ever been worse.   I’m no Murray fan as I agree he is more athlete than QB.   And I’m open to Bryce improving and support us continuing to develop him as this point.  
    • We need LBs--build the roster from the bottom up.  On offense, we have Coker who has been huge...if you fill your weaknesse without having to use free agent $$$ or draft picks--win win.
