[QUOTE="Pokerbrat2000, post: 725129, member: 7261"] Since I was the one who posted that article, I felt compelled to go back find and give you the stats on those 6 games. They were as follows: 1/8/12: Broncos VS Steelers (29-23). Broncos win toss. 1st play from scrimmage, Tebow to Thomas 80 yds. Game over. 1/22/12: 49ers VS Giants (20-17). Giants won toss, recovered a 49er fumble on a punt (second possession) FG wins. 1/12/13: Ravens VS Broncos (38-35). Ravens win toss, win on a FG in double OT 1/18/15: Packers VS Seahawks (28-22). No need to rehash :eek: Packers lose in OT after Seattle scores TD on 1st poss. 1/16/16: Packers VS Cardinals (26-20). repeat and rinse previous Packer playoff loss on Cardinals 1st possession. 2/5/17: Pats VS Falcons (34-28). Pats win in OT on 1st possession. So yes, 4 of 6, not 6 of 6 playoff OT games were decided on the 1st possession. I would actually be fine with calling a regular season a tie and no OT, but that still doesn't change what I think is a big advantage to the team that wins the coin toss for OT in a playoff game. I would be curious to know if someone said "Since it is the last game of the year, let's put the players all in and a Super Bowl OT will be 10 minute periods, not sudden death", how people would react? That would be my preferential way to play all OT games during the playoffs and the periods/quarters following the 4th are an extension of the game just like the 2nd and 4th quarters begin (switch sides, but play continues where it was when the 4th quarter ended in a tie). However, I do recognize that there has to be some reasonable limit of how long you can play professional football players and expect them to recover for a game the following week. [/QUOTE]
