After today's Seahawks vs. Bears game, do you think overtime rules should be changed?

Question

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?

Bring back the old school overtime.  Theres a defense that gets paid millions.  If you cant stop the team that wins the toss, you dont deserve to win the game.  All this "my turn, your turn" crap is ridiculous and too much like college football (which SUCKS)

yes some rules need to be changed 
like they should play one period of OT and then sudden death/victory with the next score 

I think both teams should start at the opponets 20  with both teams given on shot unl;ess a turnover and score

There aren't ties in hockey. Know your sport before you talk about it. Hockey has a shoot out after OT.
