New OT rules but they ended up not mattering because it took 1 80 yard play to end it. All wild cards are now out. First time that happened since 2006. I see all the home teams winning next week as well with the possible exception of the Saints beating SF.Originally Posted by JoeKwonDo

The new OT rules were supposed to eliminate the one-posession OT wins. Hah! They read like something made up by some Congressional sub-committee.
Growing up in Kansas City, I'm a Chiefs fan and hated teams like the Raiders and Broncos. But since Tebow, I've made room in my atheist heart for someone with class and who wears his heart on his sleeve. Who could forget that shot where, after an opposing team's defensive player got hurt, Tebow went over to him to see if he was okay..........my kinda guy!
Still, I don't think they'll make it past the Pats - but I've been wrong before....:D

It's not over yet.
You almost put the kibosh on the Broncos, don't put it on me too.

On Sunday vs the Steelers:Tebow wore "John 3:16" on his eye black in the 2009 BCS Championship game. The NFL does not allow that.
Tebow threw for 316 yards.
He averaged 31.6 yards per pass.
And the end of the game had a TV rating of 31.6

The Steelers time of possession for the game was 31 mins 6 seconds. But since it didn't help them we must conclude that they are satanists.

To be honest, I hate the new rules. Why have a different set of rules for the regular season and the playoffs? Now Hockey does it right. During the season, if the game ends in a tie after regulation, they play a 5 minutes 4 on 4 sudden death and if no one scores, they go to a shootout. In the playoffs, they just play extra periods until someone scores. This is just a tweek of the rules, not a complete rewrite. I say what the NFL needs to do is adopt the Arena Football League's overtime rules and what they are is quite simple. Both teams get a shot to score(FG, TD). Defensive scores ends the game. If the game is still tied after each possession then it goes to sudden death.

I'm a life long Viking fan Marv and despised (KC, Oakland, Denver) all three for a long time but have long since gotten over it.
On the OT rules, they were designed to prevent the cheap field goal - touchdown is a different story

Dude, you owe me a championship. I am now the 2010 Baseball Champ. I'm taking it from you.

If you want to eliminate the cheap fieldgoal, simply prohibit it in OT.
I still like the old sudden death by any means; a field goal is still a score. Two fifteen minute OT quarters, and if still tied, it's a tie game for pre-season and regular season. Playoffs and Super Bowl games are played to a win.
I froze my butt off in the upper stands at the old Municipal Stadium for that 1971 Christmas Day double overtime playoff game between KC and Miami, 82 minutes, 40 seconds! We lost, but I got my money's worth. It still stands as the longest NFL game.

I find the 3:16 numbers to be hilarious, and proof that God has a sense of humor.
I don't have a problem with Tebow. I don't understand those who do. He is grateful to God for his successes. The Bible says to give thanks in all circumstances.
