Thats not the point, the point is it was an anti-climatic ending to a great match. I don't care who won. It was just a crappy ending... period. Winning such a prestegious championship as the Superbowl on a coin flip doesn't feel right at all.

No, that is exactly the point.  The Falcon's allowed a rally starting late in the 3rd quarter.  I don't have a horse in this race either but it wasn't "decided by a coinflip", it was decided by the better team winning.  

The overtime winner WAS decided by a coinflip. Falcons didn't even get a throw in OT. So yes, the overtime was largely influenced by a coin flip. It isn't about the fact that the falcons let the Pats come back in this match. It's just that THAT ending in OT did not feel compelling at all as a viewer. And I know I'm not the only one. I'm not even a big football fan, I just felt like this could have been a much better ending if both teams had a shot in OT.
