What I'm proposing is like for example: The offense goes and scores a touchdown, then the opposing team has the opportunity score a touchdown. If that happens, then you would proceed with the next opponent that scores, whether it be a touchdown or field goal, would win the game. I think that would be fair in my opinion. Just watching the offense march down and score a touchdown without being able to respond, sucks to me. Especially in this scenario after the brilliant final drive that Rodgers did, only to have it all crushed real quickly in overtime.
I know what you meant, and im not a fan. It caters to offense which the nfl already does ad nauseum. the other side of the ball is just as capable of winning the game/making plays. Build a defense and let them get a stop, turnover, or pick 6. defense is just as important.

the other issue i see is player safety and ties ( if this extended to the regular season) if az scores that td then gb scores a td, then az doesn't score, gb doesn't score, on and on, you got these dudes playing a lot of extra minutes with more possibilities to be hurt. they already removed the FG being able to win the game in OT which i think was comprise enough. teams need to build a defense that will hold

I like the rules that they have in place now. What happened on that Fitzgerald play was inexcusable tho. To leave the best player on the field wide open like that, and let him run free for an extra 50+ yards. The defense needs to be held accountable for that`.

Hmm...I still think in my opinion both sides should get an equal opportunity to score, not just have to watch the opponent score and then being, oh well, it is what it is. You did bring up an interesting point about the safety of the players, which is important. I think this rule could be applied only in playoff games as there is a lot more in stake as you're one and done if you lose, so you would want to least have that opportunity to strike back. I'm sure that the players would be willing to play through fatigue or whatever the case may be to have that opportunity to win if it goes the distance.

It's weird, I'm not even a Packers fan but I felt some kind of way as Aaron Rodgers was on sidelines after that brilliant play to force overtime, only to watch his defense give up a touchdown in a matter of a couple of plays without being able to respond. That is a cruel twist of fate right there. You did all that, then bam, it's over. Ugh....if I were him, I would be so pissed, lol.

Yeah, I was really surprised that he was that open! Definitely a mental collapse of the defense there which hasn't been good all season for the Green Bay Packers. It's just a sucky way to lose after battling back so hard to get to that point.

You only feel that way because you've been conditioned to feel like the QB is the most important player out there, "he just has to be the one to win it" "he has to touch it one more time (pause$0)"...um nah. I have no problems watching Rodgers on the sideline, he had 60 minutes prior to that to not be in that situation. OT is because no team found a way to win in regulation, both sides of the ball need to be in do or die mode.

Watching a big defensive play like the Malcolm butler interception is just as :whoo: as Rodgers marching them down the field/Hail Mary.

Well, in a sense, the QB is the most important player on the team in my opinion. He's the leader of the team. It's a low possibility that you'll win the Super Bowl without a great QB, unless your defense is really solid.

In any case, I see where you're coming from man. For me, after watching Rodgers make that play but not have the opportunity to answer in overtime...it was surreal. You wonder if it would've been better for him to lose in regulation than in overtime (of course not) but to not even have the chance to touch the ball in overtime must be a sucky feeling as a QB as you want to get back out there on the field but is powerless to do so.

The Playoffs have not disappointed at all so far!

Yeah the entire appeal of NFL over other leagues that we always hear about is that there are so fewer games and one crazy possession could change the entire course of a game and of history. As a result, a lot of it comes down to randomness and luck, like the fate of a coin toss or a random ball bounce here or there. Nature of the game.

I understand but that doesn't sit well with me, in terms of the overtime situation. Now in regulation, that is a different story but I feel that both teams should have that equal opportunity to strike in overtime. Ah well, I'm pretty much in the minority here as far as that is concerned. I guess at the end of the day I just wanted to see more of this game but couldn't due to a one and done rule in overtime because of a touchdown.
