After today's Seahawks vs. Bears game, do you think overtime rules should be changed?
I see two rules that could use a little tweaking...
1) The game should not end after the coin-toss winning team scores a touchdown. Both teams need an equal opportunity score, and you can't let a chance-based coin flip determine who gets an overwhelming advantage.
2) Get rid of the coin flip. The result of a game should be unbiased. Get rid of chance-based advantages and just let the players play fairly.
3) This is more of a result from the 49ers Rams game a few weeks ago but... Get rid of tying. It's easy to score in football... no need for ties like in soccer and hockey where scores are rare.
4) If there's no ties, might as well get rid of the game clock, too.
What do you think?

Sorry!
@Michael Jordan copycat: Well, there were ties at one point. I don't follow hockey though, so doesn't matter. Unfortunately for you, you have been thumbed down and disqualified from best answer. Sorry, pal! Better luck in your future answers! :)
