Message: <blockquote data-quote="sschind" data-source="post: 709392" data-attributes="member: 10247">Just out of curiosity if the team winning the toss went on a 10 minute drive and kicked a FG to win the game would you be OK with that?I'm only asking because it seems that no matter what anyone proposes someone will find some downside to it.My personal opinion is that each team should get a minimum of 1 possession.  Coin toss, team A wins it scores a TD they can choose to go for 1 or 2.  Team B gets the kickoff and may have the advantage of knowing exactly what they need but IMO its a small advantage.  If they score TD they can go for the win with 2 or the tie with 1.  If they get the tie team A gets the KO and its the first to score from there on out.  If team A scores again I do not see the need to give team B an equal possession.  Team B had the chance to go for the win and chose to play for another tie.  Each teams offense had a chance to score and each teams defense had a chance to stop the other teams offense.  I don't see how you can make it any more fair than that.If we believe that the second possession has an advantage we have to assume that the team winning the toss would always decide to kick off first.  I know in college it may be a big deal to go second because teams start in scoring position.  Its not so in the NFL.  Teams still have to drive a ways to score even a FG.  I just don't think its that big of a deal.I'll also add that I would be perfectly fine with ties at the end of regulation without an OT period.  You had 60 minutes to decide who is the better team why should you have extra time.  I wonder how many of those 13 OT games would have actually ended in a tie if the coaches knew there was no OT.  I'm guessing at least a few coaches would have gone for the win instead of the tie and playing for OT.</blockquote>
