[QUOTE="Pokerbrat2000, post: 954829, member: 7261"] No, the rules 10 years ago, allowed for a team to win the game on a first possession FG. That was a totally skewed format in favor of the team that won the coin toss, some pointed to kickers being much better than they were 30 or so years ago. Definitely some truth to that, the game had evolved. So the rule was changed to allow the 2nd team a possession after a FG, to try and tie or win the game. How are you saying that this new rule reverts back to the one where a FG won it? The new rule doesn't add "each team another possession", it only guarantees that both teams will have a chance to possess the ball, no matter who wins the coin toss. One of the reasons sited for this recent changes, which I don't fully agree with was this. The QB's in the playoffs have gotten so much better, that as we saw in the Bills and Chiefs game, a really good QB can score an opening drive TD in OT too easy. That might be part of it, but I also think the rules and skew of the game has made TD's easier to score, especially against a defense that just went 4 Q's. [/QUOTE]
