Do you find it funny that the OT system that dungy supported nailed him this weekend?

that is funny... this system is a joke and should be changed as well as the bcs sytem in college.Do you find it funny that the OT system that dungy supported nailed him this weekend?
Although I've always liked the system they used in now-defunct NFL Europe where if the team with the ball first in OT score they kick off to the other team who have one possession to try and match (or better) that score (and I wouldn't have a problem with the NFL using that system), I don't have a problem with OT the way it is: sure it could come down to a coin toss, but if that's a problem for you I suggest you prevent it by maybe, hmm, winning in regulation time?Do you find it funny that the OT system that dungy supported nailed him this weekend?
If you love the system, you should love it whether you were the team that won the coin toss or the team that lost the coin toss.





My team has been on both sides of that coin. No pun intended.





What's good for the goose is good for the gander.





I support the system wholeheartedly. I like the idea that the NFL doesn't hand hold the way the colleges do. The rules shouldn't be as cute and cuddly as the college ranks. It's easy to get one foot down, but the NFL wants two feet. College wants that little ';halo'; around returners, NFL says that you can't touch them or interfere with the catch until the catch happens. College says that in OT you get the ball at the 20 or 25 of the opponents side of the field. What kind of crap is that? You're giving them the score right then and there. In the NFL you have to earn it. They are professionals. They are paid to be the best of the best. If you lose the coin toss, you need to stop the other team from scoring and get the ball back. If you can't do that, then you don't deserve to win.





The fact that the league's MVP didn't have a chance to win it for his team is sad, but do you really think that anyone would have questioned the rules, had it been Manning winning the toss and scoring on their drive, sending home an 8-8 Chargers team? Be honest with yourself. Do you think that you would even care then? Not specifically to the asker of the question, but to whomever reads this in general. I can almost say with certainty, that had the Colts won with the same plays and the same drive circumstances, that no one would have given the rules a second thought. Nobody cared about a wildcard team with a better record going into a division winner with a worse record until last year with Pittsburgh. Nobody cared about the seeding for the playoffs until the Patriots missed out on them with an 11-5 record. Nobody cares until big named teams are effected, or your personal team is affected.





You (the team) want a home game for the playoffs? Earn it. Win games. You want to win your division? Win games. Win the divisional games. You want to win an overtime game? Regardless of the outcome of the coin flip, win the game. If you got the ball, score. If you have to play defense, stop them from scoring. Better yet, you should stop them from scoring before it got to the overtime period.
Not really, alot of coaches support the same system. You need to play offense and defense, this is not like high school and college ball where talent may change every year. Only 30% of teams who win the toss score on their first possession. Defense which the Colts lacked all season long, came back and bit them.
It's not like Tony Dungy is the only reason sudden death overtime exists. The NFL has always had it and the league owners have never seriously considered changing it.
Did you find it funny that his MVP QB got shutout after his trickery TD.
