Overtime Rule

They either need to keep the coin flip and get rid of sudden death (ie. a timed period), or they give each team the ball on a certain yard marker and give them a chance to score, similar to college.

The "sudden death" part is the unfair part.... combined with the coin toss to determine possession it's even worse.

Edit: No I didn't copy you J... I was typing and we must just think alike... :D

Its been debated for quite some time. And I just in particular that up until Sunday the team that won the toss in the championship game was 0-3. But thats not the issue. But that aside, forgetting stats, is the overtime rule fair? If not, how would you change it?

Fair's got nothing to do with it.

It's kill or be killed.

Leave it the way it is.

Football is a team game. You've got the offense, defense, and special teams fighting the entire game. Why would it be fair to potentially only allow a defense or only an offense of a team to get on the field in overtime? If team A's offense can score on team B's defense, then give team B's offense a chance to score on team A's defense. If they don't, well then that's the ball game folks.

I'm not a fan of the OT rule in the NFL as it stands currently.

There are 3 phases in football. Offense. Defense. Special Teams. Championship caliber teams sure as poo better be at least halfway decent in all three phases. If you lose the coin flip, and you are on the Vikings offense, you need to go to your defensive guys and say this:

"Look defense, the media has been sucking all of your nuts all season about this 'Williams Wall', and about you in particular Jared "The White Bruce Smith" Allen, so now is the time to step the fug up and get a stop when we need it most. Earn your fuging paycheck right now."

The Vikings have been touted as having such a great defense, at least D-Line, and they failed to clutch up.

If they absolutely had to change the rule though, which I hope they don't, I hope they just make it 1 more 10 minute quarter. Even then you're gonna have a Drew Brees type QB leading an eight minute drive giving the other team only two minutes, and everyone will then piss and moan again.
