Saints and Vikings didn't get either of our theme memos.

But I'm still dead on.

You can pay pal $10 for my Super Bowl pick.

Fortunately I'm on the record on this so it can't be labeled sour grapes.

But I do hate the NFL's overtime. Fun game to watch, though. The Viking offense really didn't deserve to be there anyway.

Moonie... blargh...

Alex... yes... hate the NFL's overtime rules. Unless a team is a complete F up, it's basically decided by the toss. Hate it!

Thank you, Moonie

Sudden death sucks. Hate it. Give them a full period to slug it out.

Favre has now choked two NFC championships. My God that was painful. Blah.

Go Colts!

If they're going to keep sudden death I think they need to eliminate the field goal, but would prefer they just keep playing until a quarter ends without a tie.

How about the idea I've seen in a few places, keep the overtime rules pretty much as is but drop the coin toss. In it's place, if you were on offense at the end of the 4th Quarter then you start overtime on defense.

And when the game ends on a missed field goal? The missing team is rewarded by getting the ball back or are they still considered to have been on offense even though possession flipped as soon as they missed it? And it seems to me that this would discourage teams even more from trying to win at the end of the game since if they go for it and come up just short they'll be automatically penalized whereas if they run the clock down taking knees to 1 second and then turn the ball over on downs they immediately get it back in overtime.

Though I'm not sure how that solves anything about the one-possession overtime being perceived as not particularly fair. But maybe I'm overlooking a benefit.
