I really think the NFL needs to address the possession rules in overtime, especially in the playoffs. It just seems wrong that a team's season can end without having a possession. Ideally I would like to see a set play period (say 10 minutes), and the winning score at the end of that period is the winner. If tied, then you go to a "first score" format".

The current system puts far too much importance on the coin toss. While I like that they changed the first possession to needing a touchdown to win rather than just a field goal, it still has a ways to go to be equitable. I understand that the amount of time to play an extra period may cause some issues, but you could lessen that by restricting the amount of time outs allowed to 1 (or none) for each team. Every other professional sport has figured this out, so it can't be impossible.

Just my thoughts......
