No.
How I think it should be done:
Regular Season: Do away with overtime. If you can't win in regulation? Too bad.
Post-season: 15 minute quarter. No sudden death. 2 time outs for each team. If time runs out, it continues until someone wins. (Meaning if you're in the middle of a drive, and the score is tied, when time runs out you just continue that drive)
If the score is tied at the end of the game, the team that tied it up loses. Playing from behind at the end of the game? You better be playing to win.
So if the game is 0-0 who wins?
. There has never been a game in the entire history of the NFL (or AFL) that was 0-0 at the end of regulation.
Giants vs Lions 1943.
didn't we have this thread like three months ago
The current college overtime rules? No, those are hot garbage.This.
Just guarantee each team gets the ball onceThis still allows for the team that wins the coinflip to have an advantage. What they should do is compare scores after each team has had one possession. If still tied, do the same after 2 possessions, etc.
OT should be penalty kicks.this but the kicker and punter arent allowed to kick
Start with a 45 yards and go back 5 yards at a time until they miss.
There is absolutely no bias here at all.
I like this
Each team secretly submits where on the field they'd be willing to start the possession
Whoever bids closer to their own end zone gets the ball first at the spot where they bid
Just make the rules that if your team is up 8 points or more in OT your team automatically wins the game, and if you ever get the ball in OT while having the lead, the game is over.

No.This, but I'd make it 10 minutes.

What? That could go on foreverObviously that is in conjunction with the current rules.
I mean having both of these conditions makes no sense unless you're just trying to encourage teams to go for 2 because you can't win by more than 8 without getting the ball while having the lead, barring a defensive score (at which point you'd just go down instead of trying to score because you've just won)It makes the team who has the ball first have a way to win outright but make it so no one can just win by a field goal either.
