i seriously hate the OT system in pro football. it is ridiculously unfair.

don't give me the shitty argument about how the team should have won in the regulation, that's not how it works. you don't say that about baseball or basketball or college football, so what makes the pro football so special? both teams deserve a shot at a win in OT, not just the first to score.

Agreed use the college system or something close to it maybe start a little further then the 25 its that simple.

the two things that need to be changed in pro football are the OT rules and the PI calls. As far as PI goes, I think they should get rid of the spot file and just make it a 15 yard penalty no matter what. Those 50-60 yard penalty calls can drastically impact a game. As far as OT goes, I was talking to my cousin and were saying the best way is to just play half a quarter, so 7:30, and whichever team has the lead after 7:30 is the winner. So basically similar to basketball. What do you guys think?

This would be the best scenario but what would happen if its still tied. Would you play another 15 mins or would you go to sudden death then?

If it's a regular season game, it'll end in a tie after 15 min. If it's a playoff game, you play the one OT quarter for sure, but if it has to go into double OT, then it should be the first team to score.

I say keep going!

Even in the regular season. Screw ties.

If the players don't want to play that long and risk injury, they can step up and end it. (Or just allow more people on the roster.)

i like the idea of a half quarter, that seems pretty fair. a full extra quarter might kill people.play it till the end, then in double OT the first to score wins.

get rid of ties. ties suck. I'd rather lose then tie. ties are like the consolation trophy that every kid gets in their soccer league for just participating. "everyone's a winner." no, person who says that, everyone is not a winner.
