How exactly would that work?

Team A gets the ball. They go down and score a FG or TD. They then have to kick off. Team B gets a chance to match. (not like college where it has a starting point) Then if they match what team A did, they kick off then the first team to score wins. If Team A only gets a FG, but Team B scores a TD, game over.

i like the idea, except why only have one chance to match? first team gets the ball, whatever they do the second team can win, lose, or tie them. if they both kick a field goal, scord a td, or don't score at all, start over.

Not saying they will prevent this from going into effect, but the Players Union believes that they should have some say in this. Trying to use it as another bargaining chip in negotiations I guess.

Seems like BS to me.

Because then I think it's looking like college. I love college ot for college. I just don't like sudden death in the NFL. I think both teams should have a chance at scoring and in doing so they both had a chance to stop the other from scoring. So from there, if they both score, next score wins.

If they plan to do it in post-season....I want it all season.

I still think each team should have the opportunity to control the ball once in OT.

i don't like sudden death either. i just don't think it makes sense to say team a got a field goal, team b can match it. ok, team b matched it, now team a gets another field goal. tough shit team b, you don't get a chance this time.

i agree with this as well.

Supposedly will discuss that in May when the owners visit the "most important building in the world".

I would hate that. Very, very much.

why? what they've come up with is just a bastardized version of the college system.

Except a touchdown wins it, and more than half the field is in play.

And the return game isn't totally removed from the equation.

I'm not sure what I think of this exactly, but one aspect I don't like is that if you on-side kick and recover you can go down and score to win it.

It would obviously take some pretty large nuts to try the onside kick in OT and give the other team a great chance at scoring a TD, but I still don't like that aspect of this rule.
