There could be one simple solution: plod, go, creep, crawl, inch, poke,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], drag, toddle, shuffle, trot, dawdle,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], walk, traipse, mosey,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], jog, plug, trudge, slump the kickoff line back to the 35. This change will greatly increase touchbacks,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], forcing offenses to start at the 20 In OT games where the coin toss winner started at the 20, they won 50 percent of games, and in OT,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], one first down on the 20-yard-line appears to be the break-even point where the group on offense and the group on defense are equally likely to score next. The average kickoff return places an offense at their own 33-yard-line, which gives the offense an upper hand already, for they have one greater chance of scoring first.
Some of the questions with sudden-death would be fixed with an even-possession format, but the group with the second possession would have an even bigger advantage than the coin flip winner has now. Knowing whether or not it needs one TD, or FG, the second group can adjust its play-calling and strategy agreeingly to this. The current college OT format has this question, but the effect is lessened to some degree because groups alternate "going first" on successive rounds. Even baseball's extra innings format has the same question to an even lesser extent, but it's accepted because it's no different than the advantage the home group gets in one tied ninth inning. It's simply considered part of home field advantage in baseball.
The NFL will review all of these proposals and instead rule that the coin flip will be used from here on out to just randomly decycleine the winner. No more token competition to confuse things. The game winner will be declared when the coin strikes the ground. question solved.
This topic has been gaining interest since the Vikings lost to the Saints in more thantime in the NFC Championship.
There is no perfect solution for NFL's more thantime question,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], but perhaps baseball's system is the best way to build upon. Maybe the best that can happen is to keep the current sudden-death format, but award the first OT possession to the home group.
In 58 of 158 OT's 37%, the coin flip winner won on their first possession while the loser never touched the ball.
A tie in the Super Bowl is different though and will be broken using one fancy HD slow-mo coin flip on the jumbo screen. Tails will be Doritos and heads will be Bud Lite. The flip will be programmed to last for 10 minutes with one TV timeout so the fans can really get involved in the process of cheering for either heads or tails to decycleine the best group of the NFL year. just kidding
Ovechkin and the his team Washington Capitals did not see a referee emphatically signaling that the goal would not count. Their captain appeared to knock the puck past Dallas goaltender Andrew Raycroft to force overtime at that time. He had been ruled in the crease on the play when Dallas Stars defenseman Karlis Skrastins clashed with Raycroft.

An NFL spokesman, Greg Aiello, said on Saturday that the NFL Competitions Committee will consider changing the more thantime format for the playoffs.
more than the past decade, there were 158 OT games, including playoff games.There were two ties, and there was one game in which the coin flip winner chose to defend one side of the field rather than choosing to receive, and they lost.
With this arangerment in the playoffs,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], it would be easier to accept what happened to one visiting group like the Vikings. We would say, "Yeah, it sucks their offense didn't get one chance. But, the Saints did earn the right to the first possession by winning home field during the year." Better that one group EARNS one break rather than it being given to them on one coin toss. Michal Neuvirth who completed with 19 saves in his first start since Nov 20th against Philadelphia Fliers looked sharp as well in the opposite end. Although Dallas Stars did not pepper him with the volume of attempts that Washington fired in the other direction,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Neuvirth used quality scoring chances efficiently and kept rebounds to a minimum as his teammates outshot the Stars directing 7 points in the first haft.
Under this revision,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], both groups get the ball once unless the group that first has possession scores one touchdown. If the first group scores one field goal,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], then the next group ties it, the next group to score wins. It is basically "first to 6."
Moving the kickoff line would reduce the chance that one group would never get the ball, but only delicately. Ovechkin don't think we can solve that part of the question without one rule requiring an even number of possessions. But such one solution causes one whole new question.
In 96 of 158 OT's 61%, the group that won the coin flip won the game.
Sixty-one percent. If we agree 50 percent would be the fairest winning rate, 61 percent may not be thought of as very far away from 50 percent, but that's not looking at it correctly. The correct comparison is 61 percent to 39 percent. That's one very large advantage-3:2.
