[QUOTE="PackerfaninCarolina, post: 709162, member: 9364"] As has been said before, I think the Falcons were dead whether sudden death was implemented or not, but it's still one of those things you wonder about what could've happened had the Pats had to go back on D and just stop them one more time. Hell they probably would have, it's not all about changing the outcome of the game, it's about going all the way once the NFL decided to eliminate sudden death on a FG. I just feel eliminating punts and adding mandatory 2 pt conversions to OT would spice it up quite a bit and make for something even better. And it's not just the Superbowl I've been talking about here, it's the last 2 Packer playoff OT losses in which the other team won the toss and scored an opening drive TD. Add in a Packers possession and at least you'd feel like the game actually got to play out the way that the rest of the 4th quarter did. Now I actually was in favor of MM going for 2 after our game-tying TD, but that's been beaten to death already here so I'm not going to get back into that. But again, there is no one game you can point to and look at as a case to look at a tweak of OT rules and sudden death. Ok, do I have a gripe that the Pack were on the short end of the stick in the last 2 OT playoff games? Sure Ok yeah I'll admit I do a little. Might an OT game that didn't have sudden death still not have made a difference in the final outcome? Absolutely. But does that eliminate all discussion of still tweaking this process? Absolutely not. [/QUOTE]
