[QUOTE="Mondio, post: 818951, member: 10441"] I'm fine with overtime. Football doesn't lend it'self to "fair". It's offense, defense and special teams. with 1 period to win the game, the odds are so much higher of scoring points on offense than defense, of course I'm going to take the ball first, as the clock starts ticking once I get it. and if I get it first I'll have more possessions should the game remained tied. and if I don't score first, then I have my special teams to kick the ball away. But odds are so much higher of scoring points on offense than defense, even if I had a stifling defense and mediocre offense I'd still go offense first. It's a no brainer in OT to take the ball first. That said, if you're just looking at possessions, the odds are in a defense's favor of getting a stop. How many offensive possessions result in a score? 30% (I'm completely guessing) How many possessions result in a TD? 20% It's not automatic team with ball first wins at all. They have to gain yards first off, just to avoid giving good field position to the 2nd team. If they gain some, then they can score points or pin the other team deep making it very hard to call an offense and get the ball back with good field position. But if you give both teams a chance, and then the 1st team scores on it's 2nd possession. Why did it get 2 and the other team only got 1 chance? OT as I see it is completely fair. It's football. Score points and stop the other team if you want to win. That's name of the game, do it, and win. OT will never be equitable and it shouldn't be. [/QUOTE]
