It comes up every time something like this happens, but I really wish the NFL would re-work their OT rules, at least for playoffs. It could be as simple as letting the other team try to match a TD on their next possession. The way that 4th quarter went, neither offense was getting stopped on the opening OT drive.

I like the current format

A field goal doesn’t win it on the first drive but a TD does. I don’t like when it drags on. That no-call that hurts the saints has people calling for more instant replay. I want the opposite. Accept bad calls. No replay. Just play the ****ing game and get to the goddamn end.

I just think the concept of one team's offense not necessarily getting a shot is crazy. It's a huge game, make it as fair as possible and leave it up to luck/chance as little as possible.

I go back and forth on replays and challenges in sports, but ultimately I'm in favour of "getting it right", even if it really kills the flow of a game.

Replay creates so many optical illusions they probably get more **** wrong because of it

Anyway I really just want the NFL of my youth back when the ref gave the signal it was final. Now there’s no clear cut finality and that’s something you need in sports.

Well, since Maroon 5 will be performing at the Super Bowl halftime show, I wonder if other artists like Taylor Swift, who has yet to perform, be a surprise guest to appear. Also Backstreet Boys, N'Sync and NKOTB should be given a chance to perform there!

Man

Opening the season with only 3 points at home is rough

at least the defense kept the packers to only one touchdown, thats the positive

The positive is that you didn't have to watch any football.

Chicago offense looked terrible. The Packers offense looked terrible. The refs looked terrible. Terrible game.

Turr-ible.

This Antonio Brown stuff is so juicy.
