[QUOTE="GoPGo, post: 603783, member: 9064"] I hear a lot of people say, "If you can't play defense good enough to stop the other team, you don't deserve to win." The problem with this logic is that the team that wins the coin toss doesn't have to play defense at all. One interesting idea I saw a while back was the "yardage auction." There is no coin flip. Instead, the visiting team names a distance they are willing to go to get the ball first. Then the home team has a chance to counter. This goes back and forth in 5 yard increments until the team who agrees to start furthest from their goal line gets the first possession. Current NFL rules take over from that spot. The coin flip is taken out of the equation and the game is put completely into the hands of the coaches and players. The game still has a chance to be resolved in a timely manner with no increased risk for injury due to extended play time. BTW, my 8 year old son came up with a damn good Bears joke yesterday: The Bears GM should do all of his grocery shopping at Aldi because every time you return a cart you get a quarter back.:laugh: [/QUOTE]
