[QUOTE="Pokerbrat2000, post: 725219, member: 7261"] I acknowledge that you have posted about the equitableness of NFL OT many times. But you seem to use that as a reason for not trying to close the gap of the unfairness and anything else is just "different". Is a guaranteed offensive possession in overtime going to make things 100% fair, probably not, but I don't see how flipping a coin and letting the winner of that flip have possibly the only shot on offense is more equitable. What if they flipped a coin to start every quarter, would that be fair? I know you don't see or agree with my point, but extending the game after the 4th quarter into a sudden death "5th quarter" is about as close as I can see to keeping with how football is played. I think we all have this preconceived mind block that when the clock ticks zero at the end of the 4th quarter, if the game is tied, we have to figure out a magic new/fair way to break that tie......keep playing the damn game just like they do at the end of the 1st or 3rd quarter, switch sides, add 10 minutes to the clock and first team to score wins. Advantage to the team that knew how to play 4 quarters and prepare for the possibility of OT. A team that scored on the last play of the 4th quarter might even decide that going for 2 and winning the game, beats the odds of kicking an XP and then have to kick off in a sudden death OT.
