    Some 49ers Players Didn't Know OT Rules

    If a team doesn't know the rules they don't deserve to win.

    And on the other hand, Sudden Death was a poor rule. Sudden Death with the chance to match is a poor rule.

    This can be easily solved with putting the ball at the other team's 40 and forcing teams to match scores.

    What say you?

    Sorry, my Mom asked about my favorite SB Halftime Show.

    She was unimpressed with last night.

    As many were.

    Well, I wasn't aware that a TD in OT no longer was an automatic win.

    I mean, where do you draw the line?  They had to play a whole quarter plus last night.

    I think the rules were pretty clear. They started a new game, a TD or a field goal didn't end the game unless it was a defensive score. Basically, the other team had a chance to match the score (or score more points) by the other team unless a defense scored or took the ball away and then scored.

    I understand.

    I also think it gets convoluted when Regular Season OT and Post Season OT aren't the same because post season games can't end in a tie.

    I don't know, I kinda feel this would put a lot of undue stress on kickers. Seems to me, they are already under a lot of stress ever since they changed where the XP is kicked. 

    Doing the way they are now kind of evens the load out. It also rewards those who play good defense. If you can take away the ball, you can end the game with a score.

    I agree. Let's take the kicking out of it. No FGs. No going for two. Man up and move the ball. Man up and stop the ball from moving.

    It would equally force both sides to be aggressive.

    Yes, but that's when I found out that a TD scored by the receiving team didn't end the game.  I wasn't aware of that prior to then.

    Interesting discussion; but aren't we overthinking all this though?  If you get the ball 1st against the Chiefs and only play to settle for a FG; the team with Mahomes is going to be calling plays with the understanding they have all 4 downs to get a 1st down until they score a TD in the ultimate reason they're playing the game in the first place - to win it. This isn't hindsight 20/20. One team planned ahead remaining who they are Defending Champions successfully defending their SB championship. If you can lose a 10 point lead in regulation against them - they should have known they could lose 3 point lead in OT.

    Of course, we're (I'm) overthinking it. But the NFL, in my most humble opinion, is underthinking it and has been since 1958. 

    I don't like sudden death for a Team game (mostly) dependent upon having possession of the ball to score.

    I also don't like OT one way during the regular season and another way during the playoffs.
