Sorry man...mercy granted.

How else would they decide who grts ownership of yh ball? Rock paper scissors?

It used to be that you would get the win with any scoring play on the first drive, and then it changed to each team having at least one drive, to the current system where you can win on the first drive with a touchdown.

Each team gets the ball if the coinflip winner scores a field goal or doesn't score at all.  It ends immediately if either team scores a touchdown at any point.

No... By maybe letting both teams get the ball atleast once?

Hey, I don't wish you any harm.  Just calling it how I see it. 

If the Falcons would have taken that field goal when they were in range, instead of trying to push farther and were pushed back out of range, there wouldn't have been OT, either.

Falcons are still a good team. I can't believe they let the Patriots come back like that.

Ok. I thought so.  I greatly prefer the each gets one drive rule.  Doesn't seem right for both teams to have the exact same score, yet there's a chance that one team doesn't even get a chance with the ball.  If the Falcons had gotten a drive, too, but were denied by the Patriots, it wouldn't feel so cheap.

Hoping Matt Ryan can get back to the SB next season.

Welp.
Some may like this, some may not, some may even want my head on a pitchfork, but after watching that game, there is absolutely no doubt in my mind on who the greatest quarterback of all-time is.
