I still don't understand why dumbshits have problems with the OT rules.

They were bullshit back when a FG wins but they're fine now. Defense matters too.

>>64973994
One of the greatest receivers of all time making a huge play isn't a fucking fluke. Get the fuck out of here.

>>64973440
Football is a game of clearly defined offense and defense. You have to be able to do both. If you can't make the stop, then you lose. That loss is on the Pack. You cant give up a 75 yard pass with the game on the line. Ever.

>>64974157
>>64974240
Because it's a shitty system and doesn't represent football played properly.

>>64973710

The away goals rule IS bullshit, but at least it's not losing-because-of-a-coin-toss-tier. A coin toss is only used to separate teams in real football after all other factors have been exhausted, like goals scored, head to head record etc. So never happens. It's standard in the NFL by giving one team a massive advantage.

>>64974535
>>64974540
It completely ignores kickoffs and changes the way the game is called because you're already in field goal range. And it has a good chance of lasting forever and settling things on the forced 2PT conversion rule, it becomes a crap shoot.

NFL rules are fine, if your team can't stop the other team from scoring a touchdown on one drive, you deserve to lose.

You don't call each quarter in favor of whoever wins first.

If NFL defenses weren't so fucking shitty anymore, nobody would be complaining

>>64974895
I hope you understand that the OT rules specifically don't want the games to go an entire extra quarter. Player safety and all that.

>>64974760

>>64974664
Packers had many chances. Sam Shields had so many picks that he dropped.

The packers could have tried tackling Fitzgerald

>>64974794
sudden death implies whoever scores first, wins.

key being both teams getting the opportunity to score. didnt seem like that in this overtime.

>>64974882
Both teams in hockey are allowed to score. It's not like one team is only allowed to score, and the other defense.

I dont understand how you retards aren't understanding this. Like how does your brain work if you actually think hockey/NBA/soccer overtime = NFL?

should just be another quarter desu

>>64974708
Of fucking course they are better. PKs come down to the players' skill and ability to keep a cool head under pressure. A coin toss has nothing to do with sport, it's something the players can't control and is therefore unfair.

>>64974900
The league made them shitty with all their rules.

>>64974975
They already play less than 20 games a year. How about they actually make the sport more safe rather than taking on some bullshit over "time?"

Same shit with the Patriots earlier in the season. The masses are perfectly okay with this shit when it's a team they hate.

Bills fan, desu I don't care about this game or really the rest of the playoffs. But it's a shame such a crazy game ends in a lame overtime. College rules are more exciting and fair. Simple as that.

Go on, shitpost me. Ill be laughing my ass off when it happens to you.

>>64975022
>didnt seem like that in this overtime.
Because a fucking touchdown happened.

Once upon a time, a field goal was enough to invoke sudden death.

>>64974882
You're both idiots.

The problem with football is the lack of inherent method to decide starting possesion, like faceoffs in hockey. Thats why NFL ot rules suck.

>>64975095
You act like winning the coin toss guarantees that you can drive 80 yards and score a touchdown. It's not that black and white

>>64974655
Ok? Both teams still have an equal chance to win before then. It's stupid here that one team gets the ball to try to score and win the game and the other doesn't via a fucking coin flip.

>>64975095
I'm sorry
Did you just ignore the 4 plays after the coin flip?

>>64974348
not even a pack fan but playoff football should be that way in OT. How OT works now is still a step-up from just walking down the field a little bit and kicking an FG for the win

I don't get it

Overtime rules used to be way worse where a field goal would end it.

Now field goals result in the other team getting the ball and people are still bitching.

>a sport where you can't have your offense and defense on the field at the same time should have similar OT rules as sports that do have offense and defense on the field at all times

>>64974895
Set times could effectively be the same because if everyone just keeps scoring on their drives it will favor whoever was in the position to have the ball last

Overtime is fine like it is because of the fact it forces all squads to play try and play at the best that they can muster after 3-4 hours of being on the field. If you let both teams a chance to score on offense its a shitty thing for the NFL to basically just come out and admit blatantly that the league is decided by quarterbacks.

I have no sympathy for Green Bay to allow a 70 yard run by a receiver when your championship hopes are alive. There's no excuse. Rodgers got you to overtime and you blow it.

>>64975223
But they do have a chance to stop them from scoring
All they have to do is not let them score a touchdown

you're still not getting it. how do you consider this SUDDEN DEATH when only 1 team is allowed to score?

I'm not a fan of any particular team, but I feel like I'm being trolled by cardinal fans/packers haters.

you understand, in this game, only ONE TEAM was given the opportunity to score in OT, because of a fucking coin toss? And that's it, game ended. The other team wasn't allowed to score.

>>64974900
points=more fans, more money.
nobody wants to see a 10-13 score. it's a snoozefest. that's why so many people don't like baseball. you could probably say the same thing about cricket (i don't know shit about cricket, including how popular it is outside america)

>>64975223
The packers didn't have an equal chance to win because their defense was on the field?

>>64975301
4th and 4 on the attacking 30. Do you go for it?

Now it's OT, do you go for it?

>>64975378
The other team could have scored. Defense is a part of the game dummy.

>>64973440
IT DIDN'T FLIP

>>64974348
That would favor whichever team gets the ball second because they would essentially have an extra down each set

If team A doesn't gain a first down, they're more likely to punt, knowing team B gets a chance to score, they're more likely to punt the ball away

If team A scores a touchdown, team B is in a do or die situation, and will always go for it on 4th down, and therefore would have more chances than granted to team A

>>64975289
In penalty kicks there is no real advantage in being the first team to kick. In American football it's a pretty obvious advantage when it can end like that. Hell I wouldn't have been surprised if GB would have done the same with all the momentum they gained from that last drive, but they didn't even get a chance.

>>64975220
and yet, if you do score a touchdown, then the coin toss has pretty much fucked the other team.

i mean imagine if the 2014 seahawks were against the 2015 Pats. Hawks known for amazing defense, Pats for amazing offense. In OT, Hawks win toss, score against the mediocre defense of the Pats, which would probably happen given the Pats weren't known for their defense. instant game over.

>>64975487
I think you're just too retarded. Football is the only sport where a team takes turns on offense, and then defense, except in OT where you're only allowed to do defense if you lose the coin toss.

I can't explain this any further, I feel like you amerilards have been concussed too many times

>>64975437
They weren't allowed to attack. People aren't getting the basic concept of both teams getting an equal chance to score. When one team gets the ball and the other never gets the chance to, it's not the same chance. Defending is not the same as attacking because you don't get possession of the ball when you defend.

Both teams should get a drive at least.

>>64974114
It's dumb as fuck because the other team should have a chance to score too otherwise it's literally decided by a coin toss

was that so hard, you bbc loving faggot?

>>64976145
even more retarded. what arbitrary rules. Just play it like a regular quarter with same or less time.

>>64976273
But the team who gets the ball first is likely to get one extra possession!! And if they score and get a stop then they get to run clock. Or if they don't, they get to run a two minute offense. That's not fair.

>>64974712

if the best team was truly the best team they should have won in the first 60 minutes of game time

>>64976153
because if team A scores but misses the 2 point conversion, team B still has to get a major score and a successful 1 point conversion to win.

As opposed to team A wins the flip, gets 6, game over, team B doesn't get to touch the ball? how is THAT not LESS fair?

Why is this canadian dude so mad?

>>64976043
The game isn't decided by the countdown unless you're a fucking babby who thinks offense wins everything

Defense wins championships you mong

The coin toss decides whether you have to prevent the touchdown or have to force the touchdown. Both very hard tasks. Whoever lets up loses

In playoffs, OT with 15 minutes and no sudden death rules. If ended in draw, decision by FGs.
