A player needs to know the rules of the game they play for a living....what's so hard to understand about that?

If you're trying to win a game and you know that you're running out of time, you play a little differently, like the way receivers (should) head for the sidelines during 2-minute drills instead of getting tackled inbounds.

Don't they explain the rules at the coin toss before OT starts?
What's so hard to understand about the fact that it's not a big deal? And everyone has rules at their job that they might be unaware of. Can you sit here and tell me that wherever it is you work at you can cite me every single rule and regulation in your employee handbook? There's obscure shyt in every profession that the most seasoned employees don't know about. Amendola not knowing one of the hundreds of rules in football effects his level of professionalism? That's absurd. He had 11 receptions for 102 yds. But his professionalism is being questioned because he doesn't know a game can end in a tie?
And like I said, a coach not knowing that a game can end in a tie is much more serious than a player not knowing. You're talking about clock management. Coaches are going to tell their players what the situation is and the players will behave accordingly. Did the game end in a tie because players weren't aware that was possible or because two teams stopped each other from scoring for 15 minutes? Again, this is a non story that people like to talk about because clowning athletes, or any one notable in general, is fun to some people.
I could bring up the fact that one of the stories from the spring was how the NFL voted to adopt the postseason OT format and that that might have been a cause for confusion but I didn't for the simple fact that it's not a big deal.

Yes, it's true people have rules they may not know, but basic stuff like knowing the game can end in a tie is inexcusable. As stated before, it's in the standings and the ref says it before every coin toss.
And if players didn't know the game could end in a tie, then it's most likely a contributing factor due to the way most psychologically approach the beginning of a game a little different from the end.
I see cats saying "inexcusable". So in your opinion he sucks at his job because he doesn't know a game can end in a tie? He should be cut? Fined? OT is sudden death. They're psychologically approaching it as such. And again, the head coach and assistant coaches' jobs include keeping their players aware of situations they're in. This isn't a pickup game where they're freelancing on the field. The game ended in a tie because both defenses stopped the opposing offense from scoring. The Rams had the ball around their 37yd line with no timeouts and 23 seconds left when Braford got sacked. That's basically just hail mary territory. Fisher took chances to win the game including having his kicker try a 58 yd field goal. The players go out there to execute the gameplan the coaches come up with. QBs have a little room for improvisation. A WR not knowing the game can end in a tie isn't losing the game for you. If you're in stop the clock mode that will be relayed to the player regardless of if he was already aware or not.

It's not some obscure rule, dude. They explain it every overtime. I'd agree with you if we were talking about that crazy circumstance that results in one team getting an uncontested shot at a FG. That's obscure. This is not.
You're caping up for no reason, I never said he or anybody was dumb....they should still know the rules to the game they're playing.

it's dumb that they don't extend the OT period with the new OT rules that give each team a possession (if no TD is scored)

you remember when
said if they missed a FG on 3rd down, they could kick another one on 4th down?it's cool for sports analysts to not know obvious shyt like that, but NFL players need to know that games do not end in a tie...even when he wasn't the one at fault for the game going to a tie?
