OT new rules for playoffs

[kkuenn 3,597]

New rules for playoffs. Both teams will get a possession.  Same rules still apply for regular season as it always has been. Going forward it would make sense to defer if you win the coin toss now in playoff OT. So you can see if they scored and have a chance to use all downs etc. Why the change now? See below. To bad they had no bitching whem NE did this to us.

Is it my imagination or is football the only sport that changes the rules all the time.

Baseball, NBA etc all do it. Heck, baseball just went to the universal DH this year.

Baseball is largely unchanged for 50 years.  That's one of the few serious rule changes I can remember.

I like it. If you win the toss you get first possession when it goes to sudden death. And even if you lose the toss you get to a possession to stay in the game.

There's only one rule.   "If you ain't first, you're last"
