1st - I really don't care about the NFL
2nd - I care even less about the Patriots
3rd - When I did care, I always disliked the NFL OT rule
So with those establishing facts, Change it to the NCAA format. As wacky as it may seem, it is fair to both teams and fun for the fans.
Of course that means the No Fun League will never even discuss it.

sounds like sour grapes to me.

Maybe if the Falcons had not worn their defense out or been overly reliant on rookies who do not have NFL level conditioning then maybe the OT rules would have worked for them.

Sudden Death overtime involves releasing the Velociraptors....

That is a rule change I could support.

Referees ignore double drop-kick foul by New England. INVESTIGATE!

I don't see how someone can say winning the coin toss gives a team a greater advantage. Yes statistically the team that wins the coin toss in OT wins the game a little under 60% of the time
53.8 percent
I'm with cyclemax. Hardly an "incredible" advantage. I'd say the team that had the "incredible" advantage would be the team that just scored 25 straight points in a little over a quarter and a half.
Not saying the current OT rules are perfect, just not buying the "it's unfair" cry.

"unfair" is poor losers.
Rampant in the rubber room right now.
Pretty sad to watch.
