    They just added Von Miller, a key to the SB run of the LA Rams.  I think they will prove you wrong.

    They might, but seriously look at the way they lost. Lots of teams in NFL history never got their mojo back after crushing playoff losses. 

    I don't know what their schedule looks like, I could look it up, but I'm betting they won't go better than 10 wins in 2022.

    Regular season or do you include playoffs?

    just for the playoffs…
    Both teams get possession now.  If the score is tied after that scenario it is sudden death.  Next score wins.

    Here's the thing.  We're ALREADY tied.  Played for 3 hours.  Why create another scenario to be tied?  Cut to the chase.

    Well, I'll give you a couple "what ifs" from other sports to show you why it's not fair. 

    1) Basketball tied. Team recovers jump ball, immediately scores... GAME OVER.  

    2) Even worse.. Baseball...   Visiting team scores first in the 10th, home team never gets their at bats... GAME OVER.

    Last season they were 11-6 and I expect they will match or beat that with Miller added to an already excellent D. You're on for a ?.?

    College overtime rules are the best and always have been the best.

    The fact ties exist at all is stupid.

    But as is, I think both teams should get at least one offensive possession regardless of a TD or not in OT.

    Obviously, you can't have a tie in a playoff game.  I think both teams should get a shot on the first go.  After that, 1st to score in any form.  In the regular season, no overtime works for me.  Ties can work against you, they can help you.  If not being in a tie is the goal, you can take steps the entire game to reduce that chance.

    It shouldn't just be a thought process in the last minutes of a game.  Like I said, sometimes a tie is just fine.

    If everybody had like minds, we would never learn.

    No problem, bet is on!!!

    Point/counter point lol. Their excellent D gave up 42 points vs KC. Yes, only 1 game. but good teams find ways to score. Looking at their schedule, they have to play 5 "subpar offenses" ( NYJets x2, Miami x2, Detroit) based on the 2021 season, and a couple "iffy offenses" (Cle, Pitt). 

    I maintain this gut feeling they'll be something like the 1989 Browns....good, not great.

    And I have followed one of the very best pressure players in the NFL for years. He really was the key to a change of attitude with the Rams this past year. Brings his diligence right into the locker room and convinces everyone they can win it all. He hasn't lost a step.

  • I am good with the as is over time resolution in the NFL. Seems to me to strike a balance between player exposure to injury and fair resolution of a tie.

    I agree.

    this issue brought out a lot of “we can’t extend the game for player safety”.  If that is the case, Why did the NFL extend the season to 17 games?  We know this answer $$$$ but the safety argument is weak IMO if you consider this and other actions by the nfl

    Risk / Benefit is always a consideration. Extending the season produced a clear and sizeable bennie for the league, which ulitimately will trickle down to the players in future CBAs . Can't see that being the case for more OT snaps.

    Nothing wrong with that. 

    I prefer NO OTs in regular season games   -but-  if they do have OT 15 minutes may be too long, 12 or at least 10 minutes is OK.    Try not to over complicate things wherever possible including penalties 

    GO BUCKEYES, BROWNS, INDIANS, CAVS, YSU, NAVY and yes I like ND!

    If the NFL was really concerned about player safety, they'd eliminate Thursday Night Football

    Exactly. The NFL is SO magnanimous, we can't have Friday Night Football instead (conflicts with high school ball), or Saturday  games... The NCAA and power 5 conferences would have a hissy fit.
