Message: [QUOTE="RF2044, post: 2065195, member: 40"] Obligatory qualification: the Pats had an epic comeback, can't take anything away from their victory last night. They earned it. But last night's game outcome just cements for me how much the NFL overtime rules blow. In an incredible game that went to overtime, it seems unsatisfying to have one team not even get the ball. And I say that acknowledging that the Pats / Brady had all of the momentum and deserved to win in OT, and that the Falcons collapsed and folded like a pup tent. It just feels like the NFL needs to figure something else out. The old system of sudden death was a lousy approach, and so is the current set of rules. Seems dumb that the winner or loser of the Super Bowl could come down to winning a coin toss. [/QUOTE]
