  1. 1. Which design do you prefer for the postseason

    • Current NFL
    • NFL prior to 2010 (game can end on 1st possession with an FG)
    • College rule (1st OT get ball on 25, run regular series, 2nd must go for 2, dueling 2 PT conversion s thereafter
    • Ten minute periods played out, then sudden death
    • Fifteen minute periods played out, the sudden death
    • "Sealed" bid...each team bids to see who gets ball, bidder choosing farther from goal line gets the ball), sudden death
      0
    • Open bidding (alternating bids, otherwise operates as above)
      0
    • #6 but with first team to 4+ pts wins
      0
    • #7 but with first team to 4+ pts wins
      0
    • Texas HS rule from the 80s (IIRC), team that crossed midfield the most declared the victor
      0
    • Other, please describe below
    • Old college rule, alternative getting ball on 25 till there's a winner
      0
  2. 2. How should the rule work in the regular season?

    • same as playoffs (list choice in post)
    • Tie at end of regulation

I think some of you are on the right track but are not taking the manliness thing far enough. Take the strongest player on each team, strap a refrigerator to their back, start at the goal line and the team of the one that goes the farthest is the winner.

 

Or....nah, let's just leave it at that.

Team A gets ball. Either scores, punts, turns it over

Team B gets the ball. Either scores, punts, turns it over

Check to see if game still tied. If not, game over. If still tied, repeat this process

 

Just like baseball.

 

It is so damn easy....

 

If not the way its done now, this would be fine. Still a "shoot out" but with the real game.

I think you just made Ray Finkle's list. :lol:

Looks like the rules are fine when the kicking team’s defense steps up.

Spoken like a true Brady Patriot fan.

The rules look fine because the rules ARE fine.
