    This will now be known as the "Favre Rule"

    Stupid. I hate the idea of having different rules for playoffs.

    There are rumblings that since this was almost unanimously voted Yes on, that the owners will discuss including the new format in the regular season as well.

    LOL @ the NFL trying their best to not have "ties" like in "Soccer"... :p but playoffs is OK... just like in knockout stages...

    Nice.

    I'd rather we have ties in the regular season than keep the current overtime format.

    Per Adam Schefter's twitter... In May, NFL owners will discuss whether to amend the modified OT proposal to also include the regular season for 2010.

    How about having sudden-death, touchdown overtimes with no field goals allowed?

    This adds a very interesting new amount of strategy to the overtime period.

    :confused:

    Why would you give the other team a chance to win the game with a touchdown without giving yourself that chance first? Instead you would be giving them at least a chance at a field goal, meaning you would HAVE to score on your possession to keep the game going.

    Seems like it'd be a lot easier to just say both teams have a chance to get the ball...and both team must play defense.

    Well that works in college, but I guess they don't want the games going into multiple overtimes, to much risk for injury probably a major factor.

    Or just ban field goals. First team to score a TD wins.
