First of all, deciding a game with 2-point plays is dumb. I get that it takes 3 OT’s to get to that point but it’s still dumb. Here is an idea: after every OT, the offense moves back 5 yards to start. While also not perfect, this new way is a horrible way to decide a game

No. Sudden death OT but play with regular football rules. First team to score wins.

I would be fine with that as well. Even if they adopted the NFL OT rules but this new way doesn’t seem to be a good way to decide a game

Similar to your solution, I've always said go back to the old overtime. Just start from the 40 instead of the 25. Removes the auto FG opportunity.

I've never liked not getting a rebuttal. I actually really like your idea a lot. It's pretty intuitive and makes things progressively more interesting.

Instead of scoring line up the last 22 for each team who played the last snap on both sides and run a 59 yard sprint. Take away top 7 and bottom 7 finishers amd avg the middle 8 times.

J/K, but the current method is good to me. Takes kickers out of it after OT 1. No one wants to win or lose based on one player. At least with OT 2 and more the 11 players on both sides decide winner. Better than 1 player

Sudden death is a terrible idea

Why no field goals? I'm just saying you shouldn't be able to start in field goal range.
