i'm guessing the nfl doesn't like the way records would be broken with college-style OT, dudes throwing an extra three touchdowns because they started on the 20, etc. but they could also just declare 'these stats don't count' and give the winning team one extra point

College OT makes stats wacky and for fantasy football, that would be kind of a thing.

The Pro OT as it is now seems reasonable, losing sudden death on a 50 yard FG seemed kinda cheap and this evens it out.

Atlanta could have gotten the ball, but it would not have mattered, that team was half dead tired and the other half had the deer in the head light look. I haven't found the replay yet of that sack Ryan took, but when he got up I swear his eyes looked as googly as that old Reche Caldwell shot for the Pats years back. Ryan KNEW he had seriously f-ed up on that sack. They could have just stopped then...the Falcons were done.

college ot is too gimmicky imo, its like u decided to play some other sport at the end of the game, like penalty shots in soccer

tbf college overtime football is kind of a cooler sport than regular football

i rewatched the second half last night and it confirmed my memory that there were two alltime great catches and the best football game ever

is this the most gutwrenching playoff loss of all time? serious shades of the NFCCG between Seattle and GB two years ago but...even worse

call all destroyer, Wednesday, 8 February 2017 04:36 (seven years ago) link

yeah i've been thinking that for a while. can't precisely put my finger on why. but thought so again watching last week inside the nfl where julian was in some of the mic'd up segments.
