Should the tie be abolished?

They should implement the college football format which is far more exciting. Only start at the 35 instead of the 25 to make the FG attempts more difficult.

Rams should have won this game. Not only should they have won it twice in OT. The Niners should have never even gotten it to OT.

They were incredible lucky. And the Refs? Wow, they messed up a lot today.

Abolish ties and use colleges overtime system. That's what I would do.

Injuries become a huge issue. Once you're drained physically, the chances of a terrible injury skyrocket.

IMO both teams should just get a loss!

Make for some interesting final plays

I say make a similar format of the college overtime rules. Only start at the 30 and make it so no PAT's are allowed. Teams must go for 2 after scoring.

I've never understood why the overtimes between college and the pros are so different anyway. I love college overtime. High school OT is fairly similar to college as well (for the states that have it).

No. Because the Rams deserved to win with how well they played. Those fake punts should earn them an automatic W.

if they run out of time during OT they should ..do something different like

22 vs 22 LOL for like 6 mins

how would the QB like to face a 6-8 Defense

6 dline men and 8 linebackers LOL

I would argue for more ties, abolish OT for regular season games. Most sports leagues (as opposed knock-outs) a draw/tie is a recognised result. I would change OT to be like extra time in soccer, just an extra ten minutes play time, it being reserved just for the play-offs it would make it that much more exciting.

Scrap it.. They have made advances in OT recently and another tweak is merited. Instead of a TD on first possession wins the game, ensure both teams get the ball at least once.. after both teams have had the ball at least once and if the game is still tied, play sudden death until someone scores. No game clock just a play clock...

The solution's easy: just have a sudden death field goal contest where each kicker has to kick 50 yard kicks until one misses. If they both make it through a couple rounds successfully, bump the distance back.

THAT'S drama.
