Moments and snippets yes. But watching that game just to get to the final minute is a slog.

Im still trying to figure out what a comparable discussion to “how should the MLB fix extra innings and double header rules in 2020”. Because it came out of hell and nowhere and has been one of the dumbest change to a sports league ever.
Yes, they finally found something worse than the DH.
And baseball wild cards making pennant races meaningless.
Leave it to baseball to royally screw it up.
If we had college overtime rules, last night's game would still be going.
Why not just do like soccer and have a field goal kicking contest starting at the 35-yard line?
I mean, it would be about as fair.

if there was 1 out automatically in every inning with an universal DH then it becomes a little more tolerable. But in the national league you see bullpens and benches fully being used because of it and the other pace of play rules.
Manfred is probably worse at his job than Goodell
Yeah we would be in 500th overtime and Nantz could have probably ordered a Tim Horton and have it flown to him if we had those Mickey Mouse rules with those offenses.
This. I deleted it from my DVR. The whole game is unwatchable until the last 2 minutes.
I hate the college overtime rules because it eliminates so many elements from the game. Especially now when it becomes 2 point conversions after 2 overtimes. It so stupid.
I like the NFL OT because you have to continue to play your whole game plan, including kick-offs, punts, etc. All the NFL has to do to fix it is remove the sudden death aspect. Always allow the team that gets the ball second a shot at matching or beating the score of the first team. It's like it becomes baseball innings, the team that gets the opening OT kick is the top of the inning and the other is the bottom. At the end of the 15 minutes, if it is still tied, then go to sudden death. Just make this change for playoff games, at the very least.
Never go to the college rules. That was high school crap because he NCAA was too lazy to think of something better.

I can rewatch struggle wins like the 2009 IB, but good lord this one was boring as hell and frustrating to watch. Yeah the last 2 minutes will be legendary but it’s just a bad football game to watch strictly as a sports fan.
I hate the NFL OT rules. Last night, the two offenses were unstoppable by the end of the game. You had to know that as soon KC won the coin toss that they were going to win. Buffalo never had a chance as soon as OT began. KC essentially won because they won a coin toss. That's just lame.
We can start with the NCAA OT rules and make changes and wind up with something much better than the NFL OT. Perhaps take away field goals and extra points, maybe even push the starting point back from the 25 yard line. But definitely make sure that both teams get a shot at the ball in OT. Watching the Bills lose that game in OT without their offense ever touching the field was a terrible way to end that game.

That would just give another advantage to deferring.
If the team with the ball scores a touchdown on the opening possession, the other team gets the ball at their own 30 and continues play until scoring a touchdown, or the defense makes a stop.
This would keep a team from losing without having a chance to respond, while also making that team earn the touchdown. Then the first team has to gamble going for two or taking the extra point try.

Nope you really don’t. Plus it’s unlikely they try. Most of the reason that they are as is is largely due to CBS programming
Four quarters is designed to give each team an equal opportunity to win the game. Overtime is to get the game over with in order to avoid injuries and keep from materially impacting the next game.
Watching last night’s game… the coin flip would still go a long way in deciding the winner. Neither defense was stopping the opposing offense.
I think the NFL's mindset toward OT is very different from the fans (SHOCKING I KNOW!) and if I'm not mistaken the structure of OT is decided by the competition committee which is made up of team owners, team managers, and NFL coaches. So as bad as we think the OT rules are, representatives of teams are the ones who decide the rules of OT in which they play under.
Makes me wonder what the Bills players think. Forget media and fans. Did the players think it was "fair"
