[QUOTE="El Guapo, post: 948386, member: 5830"] I'm fine with the college format but for the NFL I would prefer that instead of starting at the opponent's 25yd line, each team starts with a special teams kickoff (or a change of possession). Each team gets a possession. Instead of the coin flip, the team that scored last in regulation kicks off to the other team....so it's merely just an extension of the game and eliminates the change coin flip. In the case of the Chiefs/Bills game, the Chiefs kicked a FG to tie the game and send it into overtime. In my scenario, the Chiefs would then kickoff to Buffalo in OT. Whether Buffalo went down and scored a FG or TD, they would then have kicked off to the Chiefs to give them an opportunity. Had Buffalo committed a turnover or punted on 4th down, the Chiefs would have still gotten a possession in OT. In college, they essentially start in the red zone which encourages some of these 4OT or even 7OT games. It's too easy to score. Having to go the length of the field greatly reduces the number of times teams will get multiple possessions in OT. As an added bonus, having to drive the field makes for more entertaining football when defenses are tired. You'll get more plays like the Minneapolis Miracle or Favre's 82yd OT winner to Jennings in 2007. It's generally not very exciting to see scoring in the red zone. [/QUOTE]
