On a sidenote.....the new Blitz looks tuuuuurrrrible.

Agree to disagree I guess. I think it's stupid that only one team may get the ball.

If you give up a TD on the first drive you don't deserve a chance.

That's how I felt about Denver tonight. I wanted them to win. But if you give up that kind of yardage on the opening drive in OT, you probably shouldn't win. Seattle played better ball, IMO.

If fairness is the concern, then the NFL OT should be considered just as good. Can't get much more fair than the flip of a coin.

Something like that.

If flip of a coin is fair why not just flip a coin and winner wins the game, no need to risk the players.

They should do rock paper scissors or thumb wrestling.

Obviously because sport is about more than fairness. It's athletic competition, undertaken in a context of rules of which fairness usually plays a key role. Fairness means a lack of bias, and you can't get less biased than random chance. My argument is that overtime rules can be "fair" in any number of ways, but still be very different from one another and represent the subjective preferences of those governing rules in different arenas.

Agree with this, both teams should at least get one shot to score.

 

[GeneralZodLives]

I'd like to see both teams get a chance to score as well-- or they could just rock-paper-scissors-lizard-Spock (best 2 out of 3).

 

[s_paulik87]

xD **** i love brady.

 

[wyattroa]

I think since both teams played well they should bother deserve a win.. Then both teams can go home happy and none will have hurt feelings...

 

[s_paulik87]

.............. I cannot wait to see the seahawks get 39 interceptions when we play Cousins

 

[BurningRage]

Giants offense getting better each game. We play the Redskins again this season

 

[The Josh]

Niners ****ing suck.

 

[Deeznutz6]

Matt Ryan ****ing sucks

Pulled that out of their ass.

 

[Darth Madden]

Looks like Philly's offense has been figured out. 0 points...... ooops.

 

[karamazov80]

Ugh. . . .Saints looking pitiful across the board. I don't think this is going to be their year. And the division in general is shaky, so they would have a shot if they could just be consistent. Brees has already thrown a pick, defense has given up, kicker can't make a 40 yard field goal, none of the receivers can hold onto the ball

 

[DinoDB1975]

Brees said it best after week 2: "There's a thin line between winning and losing in this league". Two close games in weeks 1 and 2 that if the Saints had gotten the breaks, they'd be 3-1 after last nights loss to the Cowboys. But you're right, the NFC South is pretty shaky, so New Orleans can still be in it.

Good win for Dallas, but I'm feeling like it's a fool's gold win; every season Dallas seems to have a "statement" win only to fall apart by the end of the season. I can only hope that Scott Linehan continues to call on DeMarco Murray's number AND Murray can stay healthy.
