Retromaniac Posted August 11, 2004 Share Posted August 11, 2004 Why does the NFL not do ties? Lately, I have been seeing no ties, therefore, I assume ties are not in the NFL anymore. Why not? Ties are something to save the fans the agony of staying at the game forever.The NFL, NHL, and NBA all need ties because otherwise games go on forever.

Joshawaggie Posted August 11, 2004 Share Posted August 11, 2004 they still do ties, its just that somebody usually wins, so there arent so many ties. @josh_j12 CFA- Fargo Bobcats Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jkrdevil Posted August 11, 2004 Share Posted August 11, 2004 The NFL has games end in a tie. It's just uncommon becuase overtime is sudden death so the chance that someone scores in 15 minutes is likely.The NBA doesn't have ties but there is so much scoring that multiple overtime games are sort of uncommon. The only happen a few times a year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fusebazell Posted August 11, 2004 Share Posted August 11, 2004 The last tie was in 2002 I believe when the Steelers tied the Falcons 38-38 or something like that and Plaxico Burress was stopped on the one yard line before overtime ended. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NJTank Posted August 11, 2004 Share Posted August 11, 2004 Yeah ties can happen in the NFL there was 1 in 2002 in fact, but they are rare there have only been 3 since 1990. www.sportsecyclopedia.com For the best in sports history go to the Sports E-Cyclopedia at http://www.sportsecyclopedia.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Survival79 Posted August 11, 2004 Share Posted August 11, 2004 This doesn't break it down by year, but it gives you an idea of how many ties have occurred among current NFL teams:All-Time Records of Current NFL Franchises "If things have gone wrong, I'm talking to myself, and you've got a wet towel wrapped around your head."

yh Posted August 11, 2004 Share Posted August 11, 2004 I thought it was a reference to a certain piece of men's clothing... I was kinda hoping that this was in fact the topic being discussed so that I could lament the present state of attire for NFL coaches. Maybe I'm an old fuddy-duddy, but I preferred the days when NFL head coaches dressed in the style represented below by the best dressed NFL coach of all time.

sj32 Posted August 12, 2004 Share Posted August 12, 2004 Ties were common until overtime was introduced in 1974. They made the overtime one 15-minute sudden-death period so that the fans would not have to stay forever (at least not for a regular season game).

Mac the Knife Posted August 12, 2004 Share Posted August 12, 2004 Landry was the last of his breed in terms of attire. Nowadays coaches are required to wear whatever "NFL Equipment" is prescribed by the league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
