    The only change I want to see is no more freaking tie games.

    Agree. Play until someone wins.

    Will never happen. NFLPA would throw a fit. TV networks would throw a fit because there's no advertising revenue in OT and other shows are being pushed back.

    Just keep the scoring rules the way it is and go to 15 minutes.

    Go to the college format, but make both teams start from the 45.

    Sudden death needs to be.

    Just like baseball - play until there is a winner. Game 3 of WS was epic last night over 7 hours. War of attrition at that point.

    Keep sudden death, but each must possess the ball EVEN IF the first team with possession scores a TD.

    Simple.

    This. This all day long. No clock. Play 'til there is a winner.

    Works for me. I love college overtime, but it might be even better if the teams don’t start in field goal range.

    Go to a penalty shootout format.

    Field goals from the 30. But each kick has to be taken by a different player.

    Actually, by ALL 53 players... Now that would be interesting because if teams were smart, then they would make their kickers/punters kick at the very end when it really matters.

    I'm down for this - but instead of kicking, make each QB throw 5 Hail Mary's from their own 40. Whomever scores the most out of 5 wins the game. LOL
