Why not each team has a fair chance of scoring so that the first score doesn't decide it, why the hell would you want a hard fought game to end by the other team scoring a touchdown immediately, and not give the other team a chance to score a touchdown and if they fail then they lose if they don't then you repeat the process until someone does fail, it makes more sense than putting an important game in the hands of chance, and luck.
Because in the NFL we have a thing called DEFENSE and if your DEFENSE sucks so bad that you can't stop a drive you do not deserve to win the game.
Well then what if the others teams DEFENSE isn't good enough to stop the other teams offense? They don't even get a chance that's fair, that's goobered.
Its not goobered its football. Get the heck over it. You have a whole game to beat the other team, if you can't do it, and you can't stop their drive in overtime you lose the game. That's the way its been forever why the hell change it. Its a good rule. Change crap that actually matters. I mean honestly its not like 5-6 games a week are being decided on a coin flip. Its like one a year, fans are so freaking whiny now-a-days they find anything to complain about that they can in the rule book.
Sudden death sucked. I hated watching a game come down to the wire only to be decided by a coin flip, two passes and a field goal. Very anti climactic and disappointing.
Theres honestly no way to debate this its just a preference its a matter of taste, what you like or don't like. I admit my reasons are not amazing reasons, this is just one of those things I've always felt strongly about, I guess I am a traditionalist. Thats why I hate all these rules protecting players, its the NFL I feel like you should go out there and knock someone's block off every play and smash them into the turf. Meh. I completely understand why you would want it changed I just don't agree with it. But hey you're getting their OT seems to change every offseason now it will probably be collegesque sooner than later. I will deal with it, congrats :)
