New NFL Overtime

I know that the NFL is fiddling around with it's highly unfair overtime system.To only possibly give one team the chance to score in O.T. has always been a crawl in most NFL fans pants.Everyone knows the reason for this unfairness...to get the game over in time for 'Sixty Minutes' and/or 'The Simpsons'.

Well,I have figured out an exciting and fair way to make for a quick overtime.

I call my system,'The Drew Over~Time System.Here it is.

The Drew Over~Time purposes that NFL overtime(O.T.)be quick,fair and exciting.
*
To do this,each team will each get their chance to score.The game can not end until each team has at least one offensive possession.
*
The Drew O.T. starts overtime just like the opening of any NFL football contest:with a kickoff based on a coin toss(away team chooses the coin toss).
*Choosing to receive the ball via being the receiving team counts as an offensive down even if the team doesn't actually recover the ball.This leads to exciting on-side kickoff attempts.
*
If the first team to possess the ball scores,they in turn must kick off.If their kick off team recovers an on side kick,since just being a receiving team counts as an offensive possession,the game is officially over.This leads to more exciting on side kicks.
*If the first team to possess the ball is tackled in the end zone for a safety,this will count as an offensive play for the second team,and the game is over.
*
If the first team fails to score,and after the second team takes possession,the second team scores:The game is over.
*
If the defense for the second team scores against the first team's offense:the game is over.It's the same if the first team's defense scores on the second's offense.
*
If,however,the first team scores,the second team to take possession of the ball must not play to tie the score.If the first team scores a field goal,the second team has to score a touchdown to win.If the first team scores a touch down and the extra point,the second team must score not only the touchdown but also the two point conversion.This will make for exciting two point conversion attempts.
*



If in the extreme event that both teams have offensively possessed the ball and both have either failed to score or because both teams have scored both their touchdowns and their two point conversions,and the game is still tied,a field goal kick off will ensue.
*
Starting at the opposite goal of the team that scored second,field goals will be kicked at opposing 35 year lines.If both teams make their field goal,the ball will be moved back another ten yards.Teams then will alternate kicking first after each ten yard increment.
*
A field goal has to be made in order to win the game.The first time both kickers miss,the game is considered a tie.
*
If a field goal is blocked and ran back for a touchdown,the game is over.If,on the off chance,their is a safety,the game is over.
*
So these are 'The Drew Over~Time System' rules.Exciting,no?Are you listening NFL!?!
