NFL 2022-23: How About A Lions vs. Jaguars Super Bowl?

Serious: why doesn't the NFL adopt the NC$$ overtime? Is there anyone who denies it is clearly superior?

Personally I would be content with a RS tie, but you'd still have the playoffs.

Oh and the Cowboys just lost on a pick 6, sweet. All of the early games were single score and ended interestingly. I picked a good week to start paying attention for the first time this year.

They did change the OT rules- in the regular season, if you score a TD on the opening drive, you win, but in the playoffs, if that happens, the other team gets a chance to score, too. That was the result of the Bill-Chiefs OT game last season, where the Bills didn't even get an offensive play.

Other than that, I have no idea. Heck, even the NCAA changed the OT rules to force both teams to take 2pt conversions after the 2nd (?) round. Which should prevent the 71-64 scores.
 
Holy cow, does Matt Patricia suck. He must think he's still in Detroit. The Pats play calling is just as bad as Detroit/NYJ. Second and goal inside the one, and many of plays were runs to get you there. So logically, he calls passes 2 times. And then a moving player at the snap of a run/score makes them settle for 3.

Yes, that is what is perfect, although I'd have forced 2-pointers on the first touchdown.

The guy who lets us know in every hockey and soccer thread how bad shoothouts/PKs are (even when it's not the topic at hand and no one actually asked) thinks football works best when you magically get the ball at the 25?

No, as I said, they should end it with a tie. In the playoffs they should play full halves until there is a winner. But they won't let that happen, so this is better.

The other thing is, I love baseball and hockey and don't want to see them ruined. Football is a crypto-fascist metaphor for nuclear war. You can't ruin what has always been sour.

I could see this as a compromise: do exactly what they do now with the NC$$, but start each drive with a kickoff. If you turn it over on downs or turnover the other team chooses whether to take it where they get it or return a kickoff. If you elect to punt you just kickoff.

Play by innings. And, finally, do what the NC$$ should do and do possessions by snake ABBA. Now you have replicated all of football, except the punt possession game which I think you can only do by going to full halves.

Actually, I think I just solved everything. And I am tempted to rescind the forced 2-pointer, because that would really put coaches on the hot seat.

Soccer is obvious: eliminate the 15-minute ot halves and go immediately to golden goal. Play until a goal. The end.

Wow. Raiders just beat the Pats on the last play of the game. When the Pats has the ball. The exact opposite of "band is on the field" happened.

Pats players need to remember to lateral back to one of their own players.

Never seen that before.

So some crazy games- I'm still trying to figure out how that game even got tied up. The ticker on the bottom of the Lions game made it appear that the jags had to score a 60 yard FG just to tie the game.

and now that.

Only the this edition of the Patriots could lose a game in that fashion. Never seen any thing like that, prob never will again.

Maybe the sunday night game will be tied. Then the Lions would just have to out win WA or NYG by one in the last few weeks.

The most amusing thing at this point is that both the Lions and the Jags are being talked about for the playoffs.

I expect actual cats and dogs to come down with the brimstone blizzard we will get.

A co-worker and I talk sports(I'm off Mon so Tues should be interesting)and he's said Krafty Bob should step down, turn the team over to his son Jonathan, and let him clean house. I believe the game has passed by Belichek and the time has come.
 
Funny how the game "passed Belichek by" when he lost Brady.

Maybe the GOAT QB was what won those titles and the Pats and The Cheater were never much without him.

Even I, a fellow Pats and Belichek hater, can admit that they were pretty good in some of the Bledsoe years, too.

Don't worry, the regular season still ends in Green Bay. I think the world will be safe for one more year. Not so sure about making plans next year though. :-)
