Reminded Once Again

Early this year.

Has nothing to do with being a better team-win the coin toss,win the game. AGAIN-the OT rule in the NFL is B.S.

Both teams should get 1 possession or the whole quarter should be played out...the outcome in the end would not have been different as the Titans were spent and the Stillers were picking up steam as the game progressed...

Tough lose but and congrats to the Steelers, but I still feel good about our Titan team.

Both teams should be around to the end....

I actually liked Mike Golic's solution to the OT problem.

The winner in OT is the first team to score 6 points! That way, a team can't get beat on a FG. If the team with the first possession gets 3, then the other team gets the ball with a shot at a TD or a FG. You keep playing until the 15 mins is up or a team scores 6 points.

If the first team scores a TD, then your defense should have stopped them.

doesnt this kinda apply to the current ot rules sort of, if you dont get the ball first in ot, you wouldnt be able to complain if your defense stepped up and forced a punt??

Exactly. Rules are rules even when we don't like em (I like college ot rules better. Just throwing that out there). But get your d to stop the o. Its part of the game. If Tennessee had won the toss and scored first to end it, Titan fans wouldn't be complaining about this rule.

Just do what they do in College ball.

It applies, sort of. This would at least give the team losing the toss the opportunity to get the ball if the team only kicks a field goal first. Yes, you still wouldn't get the ball if the team scored a TD which makes it the same as today. But by making it "score 6", you couldn't lose a game if you stopped a team on the 35 but gave up a long FG. At least you would get a shot.

I for one am not a fan of the college rule in the pros. The back and forth of some of these 7 OT games is just as insane to me as the current sudden death rule in the pros.
