I think the only way they'll ever change the OT rules is if a Super Bowl goes into OT and the team who gets the ball first scores right away...and even then, they might not.
oh people cared. This has be debated for some time now. The NFL is thinking about extending the season but I dont think they still dont care about addressing OT and its rules.

except that this is discussed every time theres an OT game...if its won with the first possession. Yes this isn't the only time the OT rules have been discussed here.

Reminds me of one of NCAA's excuses not to include the playoffs. Their game rules are set to where on average, there are more snaps per game as opposed to the NFL. On top of this the other Divisions have playoffs. Yet it's too many games for NCAAA Division 1 to have a playoff.
why would they change it? teams/ fans shouldn't **** because their teaqm never saw the ball in overtime. if they were the better team they would have won it in regulation.
Funny how I posted in a thread like this a few months ago. OT is crap, I love how games are determined by a coin toss.
games are not decided by a coin toss, they are decided by the teams' play during the 60 minutes of regulation. if your team is better it never would have gotten to overtime.

Not only that, if the losing team's defense couldnt stop the winning team in OT, they didnt diserve to win.
These rules are fine. The Vikings had plenty of chances to get the ball back, and they blew them all. Plus, every team has tons of chances to take the lead in regulation, so it only makes sense that OT should be sudden death.

There was a stat displayed during the Saints/Viking game that said the team that won the toss has been 7-6. Doesn't seem like it's really that unfair.
13 games isn't exactly a large enough sample to draw any conclusions from. how bout over the last ten years?
edit: since the rule change of 1994 bringing the kickoff back 5 yards, the win percentage of the team that wins the coin-flip is 60% which is unreasonably high.
