I would prefer to see the game just continue, as a sudden death game, with no coin toss – just a straight continuation of the game as at the end of the first and third quarters.
If you are in possession at the end of full time, and about to play 3rd down, then you start the 5th period playing 3rd down.
That to me would be the ultimate fairness.

Does Happy Hour start now? We have some wine in our office. I have to sit here and wait for 2:00 to roll around. Good thing I got an electronic Sudoku for Christmas from our part-time lady. It’s been keeping me busy for the past 45 minutes.

Merry Christmas
Happy Hanukkah
Happy Kwaanza

It’s been a fun year. You guys make up for having girlfriends that have no interest or knowledge of sports.

why not place more emphasis on the kicking game…force teams to carry an extra kicker or two for “penalty kicks”

whoever makes the longest field goal that the other guy misses = winner

back on topic though…when a team is competing in the overtime “period” they are esentially in their two minute drill because they are trying to score quickly…the two minute drill devaites from the entire game plan as well….so what happens in overtime right now is in essence…

not the same football game that was played the previous 60 minutes.

with that being said, since the game is already being changed, i believe all of the viable options can go back on the table

Vegas wouldn’t allow that. too unpredictable. Players union would probably object too, for stat based contract incentives

Great post Miz. I used to argue that they should abandon the coin flip and just award possession to the same team that started the game with it.

Gives a little more thought when choosing to kick or recieve, and people can’t blame a coin.

Either that, or just give possession to the home team, every overtime. No chance involved at all.
