I wish the game was 8 quarters. - BengalYankee - 02-13-2022
60 Minutes or 4 quarters is not enough time to enjoy this NFL Championship game as it moves too quickly.
At least restore the Superbowl to the prior 90's rule where the clock stopped when a player goes out of bounds, except in the last two minutes of the first half and last five minutes of the second. The NFL wanted to shorten the game which is why they came out with these rules.
Again, I wish this game was 8 quarters so I could enjoy every moment of the game unless, of course, we are winning after 4 quarters.
Heck if we were winning after the 1 quarter or if we scored first they should stop the game and hand us our NFL Championship trophy.

It's ours for the taking as is. Joe is right out of NFL central casting made just for selling products (indirectly) to dumb people with more money than brains.. Ya think the NFL is going to leave this up to chance? He's a walking, breathing gold mine for them. If the rams win this someone at the NFL will be fired.. LOL

It is going to be so hot in that stadium (canopy but open stadium, no AC), with near record heat forecast, that the players would be dead tired and dehydrated should this go even an overtime frame.
I was on Accuweather.com and it seems the LA fans think it will be an important asset to the Rams team. We shall see.

I hope the game ends the second we are ahead.

My hope is also the Bengals take a lead and never look back. I want 40+ point victory and blowout.

Eh, it's going to be 84 degrees today. They'll be out of the sun, and I may be wrong, but I do not believe LA has a lot of humidity. They've played hotter games right here in Cincy. They just need to hydrate consistently and have the IVs ready at the half.

The game is going to feel like 8 quarters when all those extra (and extra long) SB commercial breaks start kicking in.

Do they change the out of bounds rule?

Prior to 1990, the clock stopped when a player goes out of bounds at all times during the game.

If it goes like the rest of the playoffs my liver couldn't handle 4 quarters

Just as long as we hear those immortal words at the end..... "Coffin nails!" "BAM!" "BAM!" "BAM!!!!"

By definition it is impossible to have more than 4 "quarters".
If there were 8 then they would be "eighths"

I'm pretty sure I have 15 or 20 quarters in the change pocket in my Jeep

There's 5 quarters in an OT game

But what would you do if you paid for a "quarter" and the seller just gave you 3.75 grams because his ounces have 8 "quarters"?

No there isn't.
There are 4 quarters and an overtime period.
