If Josh Allen won that coin flip our season would be over. That’s the truth.
Both teams should touch the ball. It’s a huge advantage for offenses in that scenario bc not only is the game changed to favor offense, but both defenses are gassed. They’re dead tired.
Keep the rules the same except the team that lost the coin flip gets a chance to get a TD if the team that won the coin flip gets a TD first

These overtime rule changes are so poorly thought out.
Im so sick of hearing this. It's STILL not fair. All you're doing is extending the game.
Ok, so Mahomes get the ball and scores. Great.
Then Allen gets the ball and scores. Great.
NOW what? Now the next score wins? NOW the defense matters? So Mahomes gets the ball after Allen scores, goes down the field and scores. Can the game be over now, or does Allen still get another chance to make it fair?
At what point do we acknoweldge that a stop has to be made? And if a stop HAS to be made, then wtf is the point of extending it at all? Just so Allen can score one more touchdown and still lose the exact same ****ing way when Mahomes gets the ball back?

Ok, how about this for not fair:
Team 1 goes down and scores and elects to kick the XP.
Team 2 now has a HUGE advantage, as they can now elect for a 2pnt conversion and win the game outright.
In a situation in which both teams are guaranteed a possession, there's a very clear strategic advantage to receiving the ball 2nd.
Team 1 has to decide if they should kick the XP or go for two. If they go for 1, team 2 has a decided advantage over team 1 in their next possession as they KNOW they can win with a 2pt, while team 1 risks either losing by NOT going for 2, or going for 2, missing and then losing to team 2 who now only needs to kick an XP to win.
That's such a massive advantage to the team with the 2nd possession it's not even funny. Much bigger advantage than just winning a coin flip
**************************************************
And here's the real kicker:
In the playoffs, only 20% of the teams that receive the ball in OT are actually winning them on the first possession.
20% you dolts!
20%!
For that math illiterate, 80-mother****ing percent of the time BOTH QB'S ARE touching the ball under current rules.
80-mother****ing percent of the time both offenses get a chance in OT. Jesus.
This isn't even a real issue!
It's a completely false narrative drummed up by pouty bitch ass losers. It's not even a real ****ing problem in the NFL for christ's sake.
