The guaranteed possession in 10 minutes could have involuntary consequences

The chatter concerning the brand game of Eagles has drawn the attention of the other rules proposed, including a change submitted by the Eagles.

The change suggested overtime of the regular season to guarantee possession for both teams. But he came without corresponding expansion of the additional period of 10 to 15 minutes.

At 15 minutes, the team that won the draw would be much more likely to choose to kick (unlike the 49ers done in the Super Bowl LVIII) and, if the first team to obtain the ball marks seven points and the second team marks a touch, to go for two.

At 10 minutes away, the team that won the draw will be much more likely to take the ball. This team will also be much more likely to play the slowdown in their disc, hoping to leave the other team with as little time as possible to match a touch.

Here is where an involuntary consequence could occur. While the clock ticks and the team that receives the start of the opening in overtime is closer to the goals area, the defense could be inclined to let the offensive mark a touch. This would allow the team that started to have more time to match the touch – and perhaps to beat him and win the match with a two -point pointer.

While the defense tries to let the other team mark, the team with the ball could refuse the opportunity. It could become clumsy and clumsy and bizarre.

Alternatively, and as Simms pointed out PFT liveDefense on the opening reader could also take more risks, accepting that the disadvantage will end over time to match the touch and perhaps win with a conversion in two points.

With 15 minutes, each team would have real and legitimate possession. If the two teams mark touchdown (and if the first team converts the PAT to one point), the second team should decide to go for the victory or let the rest of the period be played in a sudden death format. The dominant thought is that the team that marks the second hit was going to pass for victory.

Here is where another involuntary consequence could occur. If the objective is to correspond to overtime in the regular season up to overtime in the playoffs, the strategy should be the same for the regular season and the playoffs. In this scenario, the team which won the draw in regular season extension will probably choose to receive. The team that wins the print in eliminatory series will probably choose to kick. In other words, overtime in the regular season and overtime in the playoffs will not be the same.

Our prediction? After one or more extension games lead to the team that loses the draw to get very little or even time to score and / or allow the team that obtains the ball first to score a touchdown, the owners will increase overtime in the regular season to 15 minutes.
