johnnyjet Posted January 17, 2016 Share Posted January 17, 2016 WTF, is this why the pats win 80% of the tosses? Is the NFL rigged, is the playing field tilted? Hmmmmmmm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larz Posted January 17, 2016 Share Posted January 17, 2016 it was heads both times. rodgers wanted to recall the 2nd toss, but I don't think he should have been able to anyway where did yo get the pats* stat ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TuscanyTile2 Posted January 17, 2016 Share Posted January 17, 2016 Did Green Bay win the 1st toss? Fwiw, they showed a replay and they were not wrong. The coin literally didn't turn over (even when it landed). It was amazing. Btw, they call it a "coin flip" so it does seem like it should flip over.

johnnyjet Posted January 17, 2016 Author Share Posted January 17, 2016 I read the pats stat somewhere on line probably here. My issue is how did it NOT flip. That's hard to do without trying to do it. Try it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Try it. LOL, I'm sure it's next to impossible to do. How did it not flip? I think it's just one of those very rare things. It's not like they let it stand btw. They re-flipped it. I don't have an issue w/ what happened. But I guess you're questioning the coin itself? But it did flip the 2nd time so I don't see anything rigged there. Plus don't they show the coin first and then a team calls heads or tails (so the ref can't pull out one coin if it's team A and a different coin if team B).

I found this THE ODDS: The Patriots won the coin toss, drawing an unusually loud cheer from the crowd. New England has done a lot right this year while going 12-4, but the team has had some luck, too: The Patriots are 13-4 in coin tosses. The Patriots decided to defer their decision to the second half and kicked off to the Baltimore Ravens to start the game. The Ravens scored a touchdown on that first drive. Patriots have now won opening toss in 13 of their 17 games this year. Coin has fallen in their favor, no doubt. I hate the NFL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoJoTownsell1 Posted January 17, 2016 Share Posted January 17, 2016 Rodgers should be more upset at his defense for letting the Cards score so easily or at the NFL for letting OT end without both teams having a chance at the ball. The rule should be modified, AT THE VERY LEAST, for the Playoffs. I understand why you don't want long OTs in the regular season (guys get hurt), but in the playoffs the rules should be modified.

That's what the weird part about it - that the ref was so quick to re-do it. To me, it seemed like if Green Bay had won the toss, there's no chance that it would have been repeated. Try tossing a coin that you are supposed to flip without actually flipping it. Impossible to do unless you are trying. Seemed like something fishy was going on and the guy realized he just did it wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both sports are similar in that the physical toll is too much to deal with in the regular season. But it would suck if a super bowl is decided by who wins the coin toss.

Why? Had the D just held them to a FG they would've got the ball back. It's like having a 6 point lead with 3 minutes to go. If you can't stop them from scoring a TD then you deserve to lose.

Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk The NFL is the only professional sport that allows OT to end without the Offense having a chance to touch the ball. It would be like ending game 7 of the WS with a solo HR in the top of the 10th and not letting the offense come to bat. I understand the rule for the regular season, but for the playoffs it doesn't feel right at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I understand the rule for the regular season, but for the playoffs it doesn't feel right at all. But they do get to touch the ball. All they have to do is not allow a TD. Let up a FG, get the ball. Force a punt, get the ball. Get a turnover and you get the ball. If you can't stop a team from scoring a TD when it's all on the line in the playoffs then you don't deserve it.

JoJoTownsell1 Posted January 17, 2016 Share Posted January 17, 2016 The NHL has sudden death OT. Each sport lends itself to different sets of rules. yeah, but there is a faceoff which allows both teams an equal chance to score. Using a coin flip in football allows 1 offense to never touch the ball. In baseball, both teams get a chance in extra innings, OT in basketball gives both offenses a chance, same with hockey. Only football keeps an entire unit on the bench without getting a chance to score. Sure the defense should make a stand, but that obviously doesn't always happen. It's just silly to handle a playoff game like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jet in PA Posted January 18, 2016 Share Posted January 18, 2016 If people are upset now where you have to score a touchdown to end the game I can't imagine how much crying there was when it could end on a first possession field goal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree. Both team should possess the ball in overtime. Only issue with it, is that it is slightly biased then to the team getting the ball second. There is not perfect answer other than full quarters but the players would never agree to it and would put the winning team at a disadvantage in the next game.
