I’m not sure where you are getting “if the shoe were on the other foot” kind of thing. A lot of complaints are from people like ourselves with no skin in the game. It’s not a case of wanting to see new blood. It’s about each team should get a touch of the ball once. It’s asinine to have certain scores end the game immediately and certain scores not be “good enough” to end it. If you’re going to have rules where ot continues after a field goal, then you need to have it for a td, safety, or whatever.
the ONLY score that should end it immediately is if the defense scores from a turnover because then both teams got a touch of the ball in ot.
I’m only suggesting it for the playoffs. I don’t mind the regular season doing this because that’s where injuries are a concern. This is the playoffs though. It’s very different. Hockey gets that with diff ot rules in regular season and playoffs. Baseball gets that with diff extra innings rules. Football doesn’t which seems so odd considering how important each game is with a 1 off game scenario.
