The rules are fine as is. If you can't stop a team from scoring a TD, you deserve to lose.
If each team was guaranteed to have a possession, it just creates an unfair advantage for the team getting the ball SECOND since they know what the other team did.
I can see NFL with minor improvement of letting teams bid on where the opposing team starts the possession. E.G one team decides the possession will start on the X hardline such as the 8 yard line and the other gets to choose whether they want the ball or not.
That relatively minor change I'd be fine with but making sure each team has a possession would be dumb and just take suspense out of the game.
