This leads to...less fear of getting screwed in OT. Which leads to...less urgency to win in regulation. Which leads to...more playoff games going to OT. Which leads to...more epic finishes!
I have a question about these new OT rules. If the new rules are supposed to promote both QB's to have the ball, what about scoring 1st on a FG and then are you allowed to on-sides kick ? Or will there be no kickoffs and everyone gets the ball at say, the 50 ?
I don't like it either. in the old system the game would always end with a score now in the new system the game can end on an incomplete pass or a stop on 4th down call me old fashioned but they should keep it the way it is or the altenative for me would have been the college system this whole if they make a FG you get a chance if the score a TD game over is nonsense. last time i checked a FG counts as a score.
I like it, if only for the reason that it rewards coaches who have a pair. Rather than dig in at the 30 yard line, and kick the field goal, you're no rewarded for trying to go for the throat and get the win. I mean OT basically becomes a win for the person who gets the kickoff, so long as they can get to around the 30-40 yard line.
