I fucking *hate* sudden death overtime. Hate it!

[SeattleGirl]

And not because the Seahawks just lost to the Browns, but because it just sucks.

Wish they would do it like they do at the college level.

1. Me too....

I love the College way. The hawks lost to the Brownies today? WOW.....

[SeattleGirl]

2. Yup. Basically by a couple of inches on a 4th and 1 play.

So, the Browns got the ball, and managed to get down to within field goal range.

I don't like it because it seems to add extra weight to any mistake, even the smallest one. I'd rather see each team get a more equal chance to win the game.

[KitchenWitch]

3. I totally agree with you.

There is no "bottom of the inning" in pro football.

[SeattleGirl]

4. Exactly.

I don't know why the NFL insists on this sudden death shit.

[KitchenWitch]

5. Because they are evil and they hate us.

[SeattleGirl]

6. That's gotta be it!

:rofl:

[WCGreen]

8. If there was a bottom of the ninth in this game, it would have given

the Browns the chance to win since they were the home team....

[SeattleGirl]

9. Absolutely. But both teams would have had an equal chance at 3 outs.

In sudden death OT in football, I don't think it's as fair.

[trotsky]

7. In this case at least the Seahawks had a chance with the ball.

Their own fault they couldn't pick up half a yard - or punt, knowing they couldn't pick up half a yard.

[SeattleGirl]

10. Again, this isn't about the Seahawks losing; under the current rules,

the Browns won fair and square, and I have no problem with that. No one cheated, so the win was good.

My complaint is with the system, the rules, as pertains to sudden death OT.

[trotsky]

11. I'm not thrilled with the NFL system either.

And while the college system has its merits, a hard-fought game that ends in regulation in 17-17 just shouldn't end up 39-37 or some other ridiculous score. Just feels wrong!

Maybe the NFL should copy the college system - BUT each team gets the ball at midfield, not at the opp 25.

[SeattleGirl]

12. That might be an idea. n/t

[Twillig]

13. Such a shame that Seattle got their chance--

by winning the coin toss--and BLEW IT.

Went for it on Fourth Down and didn't get it.

You can't blame the NFL system for that!

Woooo-Hooooo!!

Great job Derek Anderson. Best damn Quarterback from the state of Oregon, and Oregon State, EVAR!!

[SeattleGirl]

17. One final time. I AM NOT COMPLAINING THAT SEATTLE LOST!

Under current rules, Cleveland won fair and square. And yeah, Seattle blew it by not getting the down.

That. Is. Not. The. Issue.

[Twillig]

20. Sure, sure.

I think they should play out the entire OT session. If it's a tie after that, TS!

[TZ]

14. Wow they lost?

Last I had seen the Seahawks were winning like 21-7. Somewhere my Dad, Mr. Browns is very happy....
As for the overtime, I am kind of split on it...some of those college overtimes get crazy...and as someone whose team (Skins) have now won twice in sudden death overtime...well.....:shrug:

[SeattleGirl]

18. Yeah, Hawks were doing well until the end.

Then the Browns really picked it up, and ended up winning.

[Presidentcokedupfratboy]

15. I'm a Jets fan

And today, I hated it, too.

[TZ]

16. hey....

I do recall that the Jets had the ball first in OT ..they lost fair and square;)

[SeattleGirl]

19. I missed that.

I just want the rules changed a bit for OT.
