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/ |

The NFL is being indiotic. No pro game should end in a tie. No other sport allows it but the biggest one does? Why?

This post is funny because Soccer is the biggest sport in the world and allows for a tie.

Rather than ***** about ties why don't you criticize both teams for not doing what it takes to win it outright? Why force a team to have to take a 'W' when they didn't have what it took to earn it.
Prevents injuries and allows everyone to move on with their day. If this were the playoffs, different story. |

Each team gets 2 minutes and the ball on the 20 yard line. You've got 2 minutes and 3 timeouts to drive 80 yards and score.

I think this is wishful thinking in a way. How many times did we(fans) want to go for the throat only to see Marty,Herm,Romeo whomever curl up in a ball and play scared? Like others have stated I don't like adding the strategy of time consuming fg drive to win game if you receive. I think this will lead to more ties which suck. More play not to lose strategy.

Neither the Cardinals nor the Seahawks deserved to win their game that ended in a tie last season. I'm not in favor of "more" ties, but to say they have no place in sport is asinine.

No overtime except in playoffs and make it sudden death.
Defense matters. If you can't make a stop, you don't deserve to win.

I think the QBs should line up at the 50 and take turns kicking each other in the nuts until one can't get back up, and the one left standing is the winner. And obviously carried off the field by the team.
Originally thought of dodgeball, but we would lose every single time with Smith.

As long as we're posting silly gimmick OT rules, here's one. Coin flip, winner gets ball on the 50, and they only run one play. TD wins, otherwise other team takes over where the play ends and runs one play. If they also do not get a TD, winner is determined by which side of the 50 the ball ends up on. You can wrap the game up in just 2 minutes.
