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.

I just find it annoying how it's sudden death. What is this, Smash bros? 

 

I don't think any other team does sudden death, and for a good reason- anything can happen in an additional quarter. It could've been sent to OT2- heck, maybe the patriots would've made an additional 30 points. You never know. 

I find it funny how I care more about the OT rule than the actual game. I would've loved to see an additional quarter of them going at it, regardless of who would end up ending.

I don't mind it being sudden death, but only AFTER each team gets a chance to have the ball.  Both teams played their asses off to get to where they are in the playoffs and during the SB, and they both ended up with the SAME EXACT SCORE.  For that to be the current OT rule is just ridiculous and makes the win feel cheapened.
