Moments and snippets yes. But watching that game just to get to the final minute is a slog.I watch it for the faces, and how they change. Even the reason for tears change.

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.What's funny is this whole NFL overtime rules discussion is almost exactly the same discussion as "what's the fairest way to determine a college football national champion?"
Yes, they finally found something worse than the DH.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.
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.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.
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.If we had college overtime rules, last night's game would still be going.
This. I deleted it from my DVR. The whole game is unwatchable until the last 2 minutes.Moments and snippets yes. But watching that game just to get to the final minute is a slog.
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.This. I deleted it from my DVR. The whole game is unwatchable until the last 2 minutes.
That would just give another advantage to deferring.Okay, let's say that's the rule.
That means the team that DOES score first will always go for 2 anyway since the second team has to go for it.
They have nothing to do lose. If they miss and hold, they win by six. If the other team scores, the best they can do is tie the game with the two.
And we play on. (Unless the rule is going to be "team that scores first can only kick the point").
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 programmingTrust me when I say this, you do not want the NFL "fixing" OT.
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.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.
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.Watching last night’s game… the coin flip would still go a long way in deciding the winner.

Makes me wonder what the Bills players think. Forget media and fans. Did the players think it was "fair"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.
