NFL Will Reduce Overtime to 10 Minutes
The owners have approved a rule change to reduce overtime to 10 minutes. Anyone who loves to see tie games should be overjoyed.
http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap300...-to-10-minutes Based on history, overtime games could be about 49 seconds of game time shorter on average and it looks like this could triple the number of expected tie games each year. https://fivethirtyeight.com/features...u-are-in-luck/ |

So they are going from 15 -10 and - another 10 minutes? So they will quit games 5 minutes before end of regulation? Wow that's really weird thing to do.

Gonna go back and rewatch the last 20 minutes of the Chiefs Bronocs game at Denver, but stop with 5 minutes left and see how I feel.

Tie games are for quitters.
Need college OT rules. NFL OT rules are as relevant as leather helmets. |

Games will still have 4 15 minute quarters. No changes to the time in regulation. Overtime is being shortened from 15 minutes to 10. This will lead to more ties for seemingly no good reason. Its the dumbest rule change in a while.

This will probably make them a little more frantic, hurried, more throwing.

Seems a little odd to cut it down to 10 minutes and still keep the rule of allowing the team that kicks off a chance to score if they give up a FG. I can see a team taking 7 minutes off the clock and kicking a FG, and the other team having just enough time to manage a game tying drive instead of going for the TD.

It's great. The team that gets the ball back after giving up a FG will be forced with some tough decisions because of the limited time. You either kick a FG and go for tie (knowing you could still lose and probably won't get the ball back), or go for 4th downs to get the TD and win.

I'm not a fan of this one. I'd guess that the first team to get the ball will try and run a drive that's slower in pace so that the second team doesn't have much time on the clock (assuming team 1 has to kick a field goal).
It just doesn't seem like this one has enough benefits to outweigh the drawbacks. |

Plus, ties are great. Less dumb ****ing tiebreaker criteria for the playoffs.
