This is news to me! Did something bad happen in a game last night that forced this controversial OT talk? /s

Because a team can just down a squibb wherever it lands.

ya people dont seem to get this. yes there are more variables in play but a team can call a fair catch and lose 0 seconds on a kickoff or they can immediately down it and lose maybe 1 second

You cant call a fair catch on kickoff.

you absolutely can

a kickoff is a free kick

I was wrong. I have never seen a fair catch on a kick off.
Thanks.

A lot of squibb kicks as well, only make it to the 30 yard line. You could get it to the 40 or the 45 just by running straight forward.

They didn't intend for a touch back. They over kicked it

Are mods banning people for these yet?
If not, they should
I want to know if people think they had a legitimately great original idea when they post "Why not squib" or "defense really lost the game, not the coin toss".
Mod request: an alternate/r/nfl field of only removed posts. I need more OT rule takes
