You're disrespecting the defense by limiting how much they can contribute. You're taking away their ability to score, and limiting their ability to win the game. Basically saying scoring is a privilege that only goes to the offense.

Let's say in Possession 1 Team A's offense throws an incomplete pass. Then when Team B is on offense, Team A scores a pick 6...Team A should win. I don't understand why you don't see minimizing that defensive accomplishment as disrespectful to the defense.

This idea also removes special teams from the game completely. I don't see why eliminating special teams from OT altogether, and handcuffing the defense is seen as a big improvement in the current system.

I'm not handcuffing the defense, you're just missing the point of the whole thing. You essentially want the defense to be able to win the shootout all by itself, which is something that offense has no way of doing, so you'd basically be giving a slight edge to teams with superior defenses. The point of what I'm proposing is to eliminate any bias for either offense or defense. To win, a team has to demonstrate superior execution on both sides of the ball. If the defense stops the score, it's done it's job. They get a pat on the back, but the offense has to do it's job too.

And yes, this cuts special teams out, but offense and defense are the two primary phases. If anyone was butt hurt about losing special teams. You could throw in field goals as a potential offensive option for each round. That way responding teams would have the option of either matching the field goal or going for the win. Still, I'd prefer keeping it to offense and defense.
 
Damn. Thanks for memories


I love SP but I will say this. If he goes to another team I’ll look at him different because soon as Brees was done he followed suit. It got harder so he dipped

only if he goes to another team. He still under contract though. So I’m thinking he retire because a team will have to “trade” for him

You're handcuffing the Defense man, haha. You're requiring an offensive TD for a win (QB glory). The superior defense will have an advantage...yes, because they're better. What's the problem with that? Why would we try to put rules into place to neutralize talent gaps? If a team is better, let them be better.

And with the scenario below.

Let's say on Possession 1 Team A's offense throws an incomplete pass. Then when Team B is on offense, Team A scores a pick 6.

In that situation both team's offense and defense have taken the field 1 time each. One team has scored 6 points, the other has scored 0. But you're treating it like it's still a tie because defense scored the points. You're making up weird rules that are never present at any part of the game(defense can't score) to help out the less talented defense/handcuff the more talented defense, or take pressure off the less talented offense that turns it over.

We're going around in circles and you continue to miss the point. Agree to disagree.

Ya we view it differently. I feel like you have rules eliminating talent gaps, and I don't think talent is an "advantage" we should try to remove with rules.

This originally removed special teams (making any ST talent gap a non-issue), and treated a team that forces turnovers and scores, the same as a team that just gets a stop (rules minimizing impact of the talent gap there too).

We're trying to break a tie between two teams that have played evenly, but putting rules in place to neutralize any talent differences between the teams. It's just counter-productive to me.

Equality of opportunity, not equality of outcome... you socialist, haha.
