Flawed Overtime Rules Stole Game From Aaron Rogers...

USA: NFL Overtime rule was unfair to Aaron Rogers...

"Could there be a more thrilling end to an NFC Championship Game? Unfortunately we’ll never know. Russell Wilson’s touchdown bomb to Jermaine Kearse gave Seattle an overtime victory over Green Bay that will not be forgotten soon by anyone who watched it. Especially by Aaron Rodgers, who could do nothing but watch it." Mark Whicker, USA Today

In the case of this NFCCG, a classic quote was reversed.

Winners whine about giving their best, losers go home and fuck Olivia Munn

Didn't people make this same argument after the Denver game this year? What a travesty Peyton never got a chance!!

Piss on these fucking turds.

How about you go for it on 4th and goal from the 1/4 yard line ... twice.

or

Go for a couple down field shots instead of settling for a tie.

Piss off.

The GB QB didn't get a shot when Hasslebeck threw a pick six ... fuck off.

Win the toss and you win overtime 48.5% of the time.

Loose the toss and you win overtime 51.5% of the time.

I think Seattle wins the game under college rules. Dominant red zone defense and momentum and all.

No one forced GB to play for overtime at the end.

Holy fuck Mike McCarthy is a giant pussy.

Winners win. Losers lose.

I wasn't a fan of the old OT rules where the first score won. NFL kickers are too automatic from 50 in, with some able to hit from 60. The rules now are fine. If you can't stop the other team from driving 88 yards for a TD, you don't deserve to win.

You are absolutely right. A college overtime would have caused thousands of 911 calls in Seattle. Flip the coin and let's play football!

But when Coin Flip is your MVP, the rules might be a problem.

If only Mike McCarthy had been allowed to go for the win in regulation...

I think the problem was the fact that Green Bay wore Kenny Wheaton's old uniform. Where is the uniform thread on this game?

It used to be ridiculous. It was something like 70/30. I still think each team should get a chance, even after the Denver and GB games. Seattle would have probably won a nyway.

I heard it has to do with TV Advertising Contracts. If the NFL ever had a super long playoff game, (like Miami, KC years ago), they wouldn't make any money because they would be running commercials for free because the can't anticipate that in the ad contracts.

Thousands of calls would have been made to the Seattle Times asking for the rules of overtime.
