The flaw in that is what if the 5th quarter also ends in a tie?  We’re going to have a 6th quarter in a playoff game?  Or then finally decide to do sudden death?  The rules as they stand are as fair as can be with a focus and understanding on also trying to wrap up the game quickly as well.

Edit: this is in response to the desire for a full fifth quarter.

If you are forced to a 6th quarter in a playoff game, then so be it. Your offense and/or defense didnt handle thier business soon enough in quarter 5 and let the game drag on without a winning outcome. if you win in qtr 6 and that hurts your chances next game, then that's part of the deal. But at least both teams get a fair shot at winning the game in quarter 5.
