Was last night the night that finally changes NFL overtime rules? ** -- halesvb11 02/06/2017 10:40AM
I'm okay with sudden death. Your defense is allowed to make a stop. ** -- nolanvt 02/06/2017 12:34PM
Not sure what it is now, but previously offenses scored ~60% after KO -- Nova Hokie 95 02/06/2017 12:40PM
I think that number is actually the winner of the coin toss -- reestuart 02/06/2017 3:41PM
But a FG doesn't end the game. Only a TD. ** -- 48zip 02/06/2017 1:42PM
I think Nova is referring to the old rules, when it was sudden-death. ** -- HWA 02/06/2017 2:02PM
Sudden victory - Curt Gowdy ** -- TomTurkey 02/06/2017 6:38PM
Yep, I see that now. Reading is fundamental. ** -- 48zip 02/06/2017 3:14PM
But that doesn't make any sense -- TomTurkey 02/06/2017 6:41PM
Not exactly true -- first possession was only 34% -- HWA 02/06/2017 1:34PM
Should be, I like the college rules better. Advantage in NFL lies -- HortHokie 02/06/2017 12:34PM
I'd like the college rule a lot better if they would move the ball back to -- Tafkam Hokie 02/07/2017 07:41AM
Head coaches should roshambo on the 50 yard line as tie breaker ** -- HokieDan95 02/06/2017 12:04PM
I'd like to see them changed but not sure last night makes the case. -- AbsolutVT03 02/06/2017 12:02PM
Working as intended. -- JoesterVT 02/06/2017 11:39AM
No. ** -- vt_mughal 02/06/2017 11:34AM
WADR, rule changes need not accompany every rare nose out of joint -- PhotoHokieNC 02/06/2017 11:19AM
Atlanta blew it have no sympathy. They had every chance to win it ** -- Technocrat 02/06/2017 11:17AM
As an aside, the new kickoff rules played a pretty big part, too -- Nova Hokie 95 02/06/2017 11:05AM
I don't see why they should. OT used to be sudden death, and -- reestuart 02/06/2017 11:04AM
Eh doubtful. If anything the NFL will likely tinker more with special -- VTHokie2000 02/06/2017 11:00AM
Why not amend the current rules to just say, no matter what you do on the -- hoosnowahokie 02/06/2017 10:50AM
1 possession for each team and then sudden death ** -- HokieDan95 02/06/2017 11:13AM
Should be. Won't be. OT coin toss was the biggest play of the game. ** -- TJ_PKT 02/06/2017 10:42AM
Ranks way behind the 2 2pt conversions, catch by Edelman, -- reestuart 02/06/2017 11:05AM
I dunno. Both teams made enough "big plays" to score the same points -- TJ_PKT 02/06/2017 11:12AM
All they had to do was hold them to a FG. Then they would -- reestuart 02/06/2017 11:27AM
And all NE's defense had to do was sit on the bench. ** -- jmanatVT 02/06/2017 12:18PM
They still had 75 yards to stop them from scoring ** -- HokieJamie 02/06/2017 10:56AM
As soon as it went to OT, there was no doubt who was going to win -- Baltimore Hokie 02/06/2017 12:52PM
Yep. ATL was done. They couldn't even stop single plays -- reestuart 02/06/2017 1:26PM
Agreed told my friend atlanta's only hope was to win the coin toss ** -- HokieJamie 02/06/2017 1:03PM
I don't buy that argument. -- TJ_PKT 02/06/2017 11:06AM
I like college OT rules but NFL wants games over quickly bc of tv ** -- VTMojo 02/06/2017 11:44AM
Are you sure that is the case? If the NFL truly wanted the games over -- VTHokie2000 02/06/2017 12:12PM
Wasn't Ryan on the field an adequate period of time in regulation? Didn't -- PhotoHokieNC 02/06/2017 11:21AM
After 60 minutes, both teams proved to be even. -- TJ_PKT 02/06/2017 11:38AM
What sense is there in making OT an equal opportunity provider if they both -- PhotoHokieNC 02/06/2017 11:44AM
Because a larger sample size (more time) might pick a winner without -- jmanatVT 02/06/2017 12:19PM
Possession of the ball is bigger in football than any other sport... -- TJ_PKT 02/06/2017 11:52AM
Only answer I have is that football is not "other sports" and have no idea -- PhotoHokieNC 02/06/2017 11:53AM
Enh... passing from the NE 23 was bigger ** -- WestyHokie 02/06/2017 10:44AM
