In fact it almost behooves them to take their time and let the game run into the extra period because they know that any points they put on the board are going to end the game and give them the win. In a tie game, 2 minute warning wouldn't matter, utilizing timeouts wouldn't matter, pass plays to stop the clock won't matter because there's no sense of urgency for the team driving at the end of the game. You could have a drive that starts with 8 minutes left in the 4th quarter just casually roll over into extra time because the offense hasn't finished their drive yet.I don't really see how this is better than the current system other than it's no longer decided by a coinflip but can instead be manipulated by the team that decides to hold onto the ball.</blockquote>
