[QUOTE="elcid, post: 819062, member: 12360"] I have missed the part where the 52% comes from, however I can only assume it as a number calculated from all OT's that have happened in (recent) football. I have no idea how many OT's there have been in modern day football, but in my own experience I have seen the Packers in 7 since I have started watching them back in 2013. Losing against Seattle and Arizona when we lost the coin toss (and playing away), winning vs the Bucs, Jets and Browns when we won the coin toss (and playing at home) and 2 ties vs the Vikings (both at home, in which we both won and lost a coin toss). My point is, I'd like to see a metric in which we measure the % of times the coin toss winner (given they play at home) wins OT as I think this metric would be less balanced. Given that some of our roughest losses came in the playoffs I'd especially like to see each team have a chance to score in January. The lower seed is already playing under more pressure when visiting a higher seeded team, and to be denied a chance to score is as heartbreaking of an experience as I have endured as a fan. Its nothing I would wish upon any other fan of any team. The Packers have been to the playoffs quite often recently, can you imagine if a team like the Bucs or Browns gets eliminated the way we got eliminated in Arizona? On the other hand, a higher seeded team (or home team) should always have the chance to retaliate if the visitor were to score on their opening TD drive as I can only imagine this would be equally heartbreaking.
