Isn't the game still alive after clock if the ball is still alive in that play?
Like Rugby?

Yes, I think Wedgie was just deflecting that he was wrong

So confusing even the players don't know the rules - https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/395 ... bowl-rules

OVERTIME RULES FOR NFL POSTSEASON GAMES
Unlike regular season games, postseason games cannot end in a tie, so the overtime rules change slightly for the playoffs.

If the score is still tied at the end of an overtime period — or if the second team’s initial possession has not ended — the teams will play another overtime period. Play will continue regardless of how many overtime periods are needed for a winner to be determined.

There will be a two-minute intermission between each overtime period. There will not be a halftime intermission after the second period.
The captain who lost the first overtime coin toss will either choose to possess the ball or select which goal his team will defend, unless the team that won the coin toss deferred that choice.
Each team will have an opportunity to possess the ball in overtime.
Each team gets three timeouts during a half.
The same timing rules that apply at the end of the second and fourth regulation periods also apply at the end of a second or fourth overtime period.
If there is still no winner at the end of a fourth overtime period, there will be another coin toss, and play will continue until a winner is declared.

Chiefs did, they had a specific meeting about it before every playoff game and two in the week before the Super Bowl

I honestly can't believe SF didn't at least prepare for this eventuality. They don't play replay games, you get one shot, so surely you cover off on EVERY outcome

Yes. Until the ref declares the end of play. I don't think I had any idea on how to scratch myself yesterday let alone what point was trying to be made.

PS Geezus, I'm seedy today. Drinks packages starting at 9am are dangerous especially when spirits are included!

Wish it was that simple, I would have been wrong if I knew what the hell was being discussed!
Wrong would have been better than completely clueless!

Could also go in the “I need to know” thread but is wedgie really Barnaby Joyce?

Geezus, harsh but fair call yesterday!
I don't think I fell over though!

But did you slip off a planter box?

Nah, even managed to run down the street and abuse a peanut that almost ran over my wife when we got out of our uber at days end.
I must be hardening up, haven't had a good fall for a while.

Russell Wilson now a Steeler

And Mac Jones traded to the Jags for a packet of chips (6th rounder)

Stacks of big moves today….before free agency/trading is even open.


Still no WR for the Chiefs, hopefully get one or two

Big changes to the kickoff rule next season, it's going to look a lot different!

Not sure if I’m a fan.
