Its ridiculous to me that a game, especially playoff games can be decided by a coin toss...

Yes, offense, defense and special teams are part of the game but you know damn well that by the end of the game the defense will ALWAYS be more tired than the offense.....This is a fundament part of football....Thats why teams run the ball to try to wear down the defense.....I've never heard an annoucer say, "this team shouldn't run the ball so much or the offense will be tired".......I've never heard it in my life....

So of course the freakin team who wins the toss has a great shot to get to the damn 33 yard line and win the game. Did the Lions play an OT game this year? Maybe they should've.

It sucks to see a great game come down to what effectively is a coin toss.....Just my opinion..

And the better way to solve a tie is?

Maybe just have like a 5-7 min quarter? I dunno, anything would be better than what it currently is.

Hell do it like college but start off at your opponent's 40 or something, or at midfield.

I'd love to see that. College needs to move the ball back to the 40, imo.

I hate the system too. I'd much rather see them implement a system based off of the college rules.

Haha I actually meant start at YOUR own 40. For the pros I think that would be better.

That's fine. I just want the other team to get the ball. If you want to settle for a field goal, fine. Just remember that they could top it.
