Re: Conference Championships
I just think in terms of overtime, if the NFL is about ratings (every televised sport is about ratings) why wouldn't you want Mahomes to get one more chance with the ball? Besides Patriots fans, who wouldn't want to watch that?
Re: Conference Championships
give me the 7 OT slugfest, on the edge of your seat. Mano a mano. You're going to bleed until someone stops the other. That's what I want.
If only closed minds came with closed mouths
Re: Conference Championships
Coin toss gives a 50/50 chance, and yesterdays results were a 50/50 split. Saints win toss, Rams force a turnover and win the game. Pats win the toss, KC cant make a stop (several 3rd down conversions) and they lose. I'm not sure any other method makes it "more fair" than what the current set up is. Tony Romo was calling every third down play as soon as he saw the Patriots formation in OT, too bad the Chiefs didn't film study with him.

Re: Conference Championships
I think everyone wants both teams to get the ball, that’s basically it. 3 of the 4 quarterbacks got to touch the ball in the overtime periods yesterday.

Re: Conference Championships
It works both ways though, not only are you giving KC a chance to score to tie but you also give NE defense a chance to stop for the win.
Its just an even balance thing imo

Re: Conference Championships
I also do not believe it was a coincidence both games went into OT. Both games had horrible officiating calls that let it play out the way it did. NFL wanted 2 OT or last second deciding games, it was obvious
