I think a 5 minute mini game would be better. Play the whole 5 minutes, 3 timeouts, a 2 minute warning, just like a do over of the last 5 minutes of the 4th quarter. Never liked how it is now, I think that's why you are seeing more 2s at the end of the game as well.

there is nothing you can do to make overtime football fair

you could probably do like a 15 minute quarter if you want it to be "fair" but that would be a lot of extra hits.

Only problem I see with OT is both teams should get the ball once at least.

[carolinakid]

with all the time outs to sell stuff the games are too long now.they need to something to speed up the games imo.

You could set up penalty shot type situation for the kicking game. Each kicker kicks from so far out, then they back up. They could flip for who goes first the alternate, but that doesn't matter too much because they both try from every distance.

If they both fail at one distance, then they just keep going until one fails and one makes it. Maybe get out to where they both are short, then starting moving back in.

Turn it into FOOTball. line the special teams up and let them try to block as well, that will shorten the duration a bit.

this would be better than it is now, win the toss get a td ending it is stupid

Like college except start at 50 yard line

bam

compared to what it used to be, i'm okay with this

remember, when there used to be a thing known as kick off returns

one good return and one good chunk pass and a team could win with a FG and that was it. game over

at least we eliminated two of those variables with the auto touch backs and FG on first drive doesn't end OT


those OT FG losses were tough to swallow

[pologq]

both get it at the 50. flip for who goes when. 2nd team has to match or exceed the first team. if still tied after 1st round they go again. simple and fair cause both sides of the ball get played.

Yeah I don't like that. On the first drive, any score should have to be answered to end OT.

They get off easy with the TD rule ending it.

Yup, and the 2nd team MUST go for 2 if 1st team kicked xp.

Boom, game over either way, both get a touch

[KVB]

I say do this, whoever gets the ball wins the game...

VIKINGS lost 2 NFC championship games on OT field goals in a 10 year span

Are you insane? Why would you want 6 timeouts and a two-minute warning in the span of 5 minutes? As if the NFL doesn't already have enough stoppages.

[KVB]

The scramble is great, they'll be like "each team bring out your best scrambler!"

They could always do this, but they might have to expand rosters...

[KVB]

They could bring out a Hall of Famer and make a spectacle of it.

The crowd would go crazy!
