OT rule - aways hate

[jaxvol]

Hate college overtime. GA lines up on the 25, the D stuffs them three plays and they win the game.

The touch back ended up being a 75 yard touchback. During game play it would have been the GA 20 and in overtime it is the GA 25.

I agree. The toss is so important. I think field goals should be taken away as an option unless the team with the ball first turns it over, in which case we still would have lost. Otherwise, I actually really like the format. It makes for some very exciting games.

I've always like the college format better, but that is an excellent point.

When you lose, suddenly people hate a lot of rules.

I much prefer the college OT rules to the way the NFL does it.

This... I've always liked college better. It totally screwed us today but I'm not gonna change me mind on it.

Only thing is I think they should start from the 40. Take them out of FG range to start (most of the kickers anyway)

This! A team should have to work to get into field goal range.

+1 -- a change is needed

This I agree with. Other than that I like the college OT rule.

Yeah, the NFL rules are just retarded. College overtime is far superior and much fairer. Each team gets the same number of possessions.

The rule you should complain about is the touchback rule where the other team gets the ball when fumbled out of the end zone. There is no need for a change of possession when that happens. Just put it back on the original line of scrimmage or where forward progressed stopped. Why reward the defense for getting it butt kicked all the way back to its own goal line?
