[QUOTE="Mondio, post: 819047, member: 10441"] A shortened time period would absolutely favor a ball control offense in some situations, just like getting the ball first benefited the patriots against a porous Chiefs defense. But in the next situation having the ball first did not benefit the Saints as they turned it over. Anyway, that's kind of my point, some situations will favor any team. the 2nd team, if they stop them early, have a great kick coverage and stuff them, etc get great starting field positions. one team might have to start at the 10, the next starts at the 50. Fair? So you kick off to both teams. That's fine and great. I don't care if they do really. It's not that I think it's "stupid", i think it doesn't FIX anything. It doesn't make it more fair. It doesn't do any of that, it just makes it different. Because if you kick to both teams and make them both go for 2 and they both score 8 points. Now you're still tied. Now what? again? Keep going until there's a winner? Now the next 4 possessions are non scores, but on the 5th there is by the team that had the ball 1st in OT. Now what? they've had an extra possession, give the other team a chance too? The Captain says 20% of possessions result in TD's, and I believe that's accurate. Expecting a defense to prevent one in OT is not asking for a miracle, unless of course your team has a ****** defense. In which case, that's the breaks. Get a better defense, or score more points to begin with. Football isn't "fair". what if you build your teams to play in the cold and mud, because that's where you finish your season and then you have to play a Super Bowl in Miami against Tampa Bay? you think that doesn't favor someone? Half of what makes football great is meeting challenges and overcoming them. I don't see how giving a team an untimed possession is more fair. It won't be the case every time, but it certainly can be the case some of the time. Just like the team with the ball first wins, some of the time, but it isn't the case all of the time, as it's barely above 50%. It's fair enough for me. The game has been played.
