Overtime is dumb, I say just add 5 minutes on to regulation if the game is still tied at 0:00.

I would like to see the overtime rules changed but it was more than a coin flip that lost this game for Buffalo. At the start of overtime, Kansas City had had 10 drives in the game and Buffalo had kept them out of the end zone on 6 of them. Buffalo just needed to do what they had done 6 other times already. They weren't a bystander.
These rules are only in place because it didn't seem fair to put in 48 minutes of work and lose to 2-3 first downs and a field goal.
I say set up some cones and do a punt-pass-kick competition.
Buffalo wasn't screwed. They could've held with hardly any time on the clock or played some defense in OT. They had their chance. This "oh lawd both teams must have the ball" stuff....
Hell even with a punt-pass-kick competition some would complain that Andy Reid had an unfair advantage because he participated as a kid.
Win in regulation. If you don't then you know absolutely anything can happen
No party has to be screwed for a system to he ****** and not satisfying to fans. I have no rooting interest in either team but it is a shame that after 48 minutes of an absolute dog fight we get 2 minutes of actually meaningful football.
Buffalo didn't get screwed, the rules were fairly applied to everyone, the rules are just dumb and unsatisfying.
Then let's have the league go to a 4 quarter OT to be played the next day. Let's keep the party rolling.
I found the game to be totally satisfying. The team that couldn't play 13 seconds worth of defense went home.
Or you know just do what college does or play our the full overtime period. Really any solution is less **** than golden goal.
14 of 18 overtime games in the NFL this season disagree with that sentiment.
lol nobody that isn't a Chiefs fan watched that game and thought, "I'm good with this, I don't want to see Josh Allen respond in overtime because they didn't play good defense in the fourth quarter."
this is still dumb, just in case you were confused and going to ask me again.
Wouldn't it be an unfair advantage to the second team, knowing they have to score a touchdown and can go for it on every 4th down?
I mean this moves it from 2 doors with 1 whammy to 3 doors with 2 whammies.
Buffalo make key mistakes at the end of regulation... most notably kicking it off into the endzone, preserving the clock. That was all Mahomes needed obviously.
It was a great game, and Buffalo blew it. I'm not a fan of either team, but Buffalo gave KC too many opportunities and the Chiefs made them pay.
