I would tell my team, if you dont want to lose in OT from a coin toss, you can either 1. play defense, or 2. win the damn game in regulation.

I could be wrong.

I totally agree. The problem is, it has been said that a large percentage of teams that get the ball first win the game BUT it doesn't necessarily mean they won it on the first possession. The overtime rule does take away the value of the kickers and special teams too. And how stupid is it to have a different rule for the playoffs? Will someone please tell me why?
