NFL Overtime

Kris brought up a good controversial subject: whether or not to change NFL overtime rules.

I say No. It's too bad an offense sometimes goes without touching the ball in overtime, but I'm not quite sure if you can say it's unfair. Football isn't offense versus offense. It's a team game where special teams, offense, and defense all matter. If a team's defense can't stop the other team from scoring, then they don't deserve to win and they don't deserve a chance to tie.

I can see how an offense could feel cheated because they never got a chance to touch the field, but they were let down by their teammates and that's a part of football.
