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/ |

Meaningless garbage. I wish they would focus on the real issues instead of these cosmetic changes.

Get rid of the kickoff.
The team that loses the coin flip has to choose a yard line. Let's say they choose the 15. The team that won the toss can either start on offense, 1st and 85 or start on defense. If you made that change, I would be ok going back to sudden death. Even if both teams have better offenses than defenses and even if you lose the coin toss, you could choose to go all the way down to the 1 yard line if you really think both offenses are that much better than the defenses.

If we win the coin toss and treat the first possession like a 2 minute drill, we'll win.
We have the best 7 and a half minute 2 minute drills.

I said it in the other thread... but it makes sense that we'd see more ties. I'm pretty sure the number of ties have jumped since they went to the new OT rules. Each team can get a FG and not score the rest of the way. This will probably just make it worse. Is that worth 5 less minutes of football?
Sometimes this won't matter, but it'll at least be possible to go on a 7 minute FG drive and put the other team in a bind. |

The NFL should have left it the way it was. Sudden Death Overtime. The fate of the coin toss and whichever team wants it more.

This rule has everything to do with advertising revenue, and nothing to with making the game any better.

The only good to come of this is that maybe teams will change strategy to get the win under that ten minute window. Ties are ****ing reeruned. |
