Re: NFL to have same regular season OT rules as playoffs
I give it a "meh". I still think OT should allow both teams a possession. These new OT rules didn't change anything in Denver's win over Pittsburgh. My OT rules would have required Denver to kickoff to the Steelers after Tebow's long TD pass. And if the Steelers scored a TD as well then it becomes sudden death. Next team to score wins.

Re: NFL to have same regular season OT rules as playoffs
I know television and health concerns play into the equation. But why dont they just play a 7-10 minute OT period?

Re: NFL to have same regular season OT rules as playoffs
I kinda like the way it is now. I actually like college's style better because it creates more excitement. I do think that once OT gets going the teams are both so tired that it usually is decided by a big time mistake. You play a guaranteed 10 minutes it may be 10 poorly played minutes.

Re: NFL to have same regular season OT rules as playoffs
I think they're making it overly complicated. It should be:
- first team to 6 points wins - overtime period is 15 minutes - finish tied, game is tied - finish with one team leading, that team wins
