The NFL Thread 2021: Los Angeles Rams Win Super Bowl LVI

[PAOerfulone]

The rules should be structured around getting the first STOP, not the first score.
This should be the OT rules:

Each team gets at least one possession UNLESS the opening drive results in a defensive score - (Safety or a pick-6.)

If the opening drive results in an offensive score (FG or TD), then:
- The opposing offense will get a chance to tie or take the lead.
- If that opposing offense is successful in tying or taking the lead, then the other team's offense gets the ball back with a chance to do the same.
- This process will continue until:
       A) The first successful defensive stop or turnover. (If the game is still tied, the next score wins it.)
       B) Time expires.

If the opening drive results in a successful defensive stop with no score, then:
- The next score wins it. Just like it is now.

This may result in more ties in the regular season, since you have a 10:00 time limit, but who cares. That's what those teams get for not getting the job done.

Once you get to the playoffs, you can have one of two options:

No Game Clock. Just the Play Clock. 40 seconds to get off a play. That's it.

OR

If the 10:00 time limit expires: Go straight to FG kicks. Similar to soccer.
Start at extra point distance, and then keep going 5 yards back for each successful kick.
IF:
- The first FG miss happens with the score tied, then the next make wins it.
- The first FG miss happens with that team behind, Game Over.

For example: If the Bills and Chiefs went to FGs and Butker misses the first one with the score tied, if Bass makes the one after that. Ballgame: Bills win.
But if the Chiefs are ahead and Bass misses his field gold. Ballgame: Chiefs win.

Make it so that the DEFENSE and SPECIAL TEAMS are the ones that has to come through, no the offense.
