So, 2022, Pat Mahomes and Josh Allen in a shootout, overtime ends before Josh Allen gets to touch the ball.
Basically a repeat of what Tom Brady did to Pat Mahomes in 2019.

That doesn't seem fair to most people.

Do you think "both sides get the ball at least once" would actually satisfy people? Do you want that?  If both teams do the same thing in their first possession, it just goes to sudden death anyway, with the same big advantage to the team that won the toss, so does it even fix anything?

It feels like a baby step to college football rules.  Do you want to just go to college football rules?

Sportswriters seem big on this whole "spot and choose" concept where teams auction for who goes first.  Seems to put too much on the coach and too much math for the average fan.  It would be a big change.  What do you think?

What if we said, if a playoff game is tied at the end of regulation, just play the next down until someone scores? Maybe shorten the play clock to increase the excitement.  That's a big change too, but easier to explain.  

What if we made a much smaller change.  One coin flip per game.  If you received the second half kickoff, you kick to start OT.  The end.  If the Bills knew that KC would get the ball at the start of OT, maybe they go for 2 on their last TD, so they go up by 4. Maybe they try harder to run the clock out.

I think the last idea actually solves the fairness problem on its own.  We already know there's a slight advantage to having the ball first in the second half, this change would balance it out.  What do you think?
