I would like a combination of both the NFL and NCAA systems.

I think there should be a coin flip and the winning team should choose if they want to kick or receive.

It should go possession to possession. If team 1 gets ball first and is forced to punt and team 2 scores, they win. If team 2 punts and team 1 scores team 2 must score. Also if team 1 gets a FG and team 2 gets a TD team 2 wins.

There would be no game clock, just the play clock and it goes until one team wins it.

Both teams would get an equal chance on offense but the team that wins the toss has the advantage of playing off or def like there is to begin a game (just slightly different).

scenarios:

If team 1 doesn't score and team 2 does (FG or TD), team 2 wins

If team 1 gets a FG and so does Team 2, they play on

If team 1 gets a TD and so does Team 2, they play on

If team 1 scores a FG and Team 2 scores a TD, team 2 wins

If team 1 is tackled for a safety team 2 wins because the safety rule would force team 1 to punt the ball to team 2 which would be irrelevant because team 2 was winning and didn't need their possesion to win or tie the game.


Does this make sense? I apologize if someone already posted this same sort of thing as i did not read every post.

I agree (well i did write it so i should), that way both teams have a chance on offense but it keeps all phases of the game involved and crucial.

One last thought on this !! I was a little surprised on how many people approved or were allright with the current system.I guess its the minority that would like to see it changed.I know one thing for sure TIES should never be a part of the NFL.

I fail to see why the NFL opposes this.

That's easy:

1. That's what sudden death means....SUDDEN DEATH!

2. It's P-R-O football, not college. I don't know how many games I've watched over the years where teams have lost in overtime because of their own poor play. Our game vs. the Ratbirds is a prime example. We shouldn't have been in that overtime situation to start with - we're up by 13, they have no offense, their defense in general is starting to erode, yet we allowed those disease-ridden crows back in the game with our -poor 2nd half play. Same with the SF-Arizona game last Sunday. The Cards should've blown the Niners out, period. They allowed them to get back in the game and extend it, and U see what happened as a result. The bottom line is this: 9 times out of ten, win or lose, teams get what they deserve anyway. There's 60 minutes to a ballgame... U don't wanna work overtime, handle your business.

I agree! Nobody wants to go watch a game that ends in a tie!
