    This should have been change a long time ago and they should make the change for the regular season as well IMO. This way winning the flip isn't such a factor.

    Why don't they make it where one team scores, then the other team gets a chance, and if they go 4th and out call it a game.

    It's not fair because it's basically 50-50 you know damn well whoever is getting the coin will majority of time win the game. :(

    horrible idea. if field goals aren't considered good enough to win a game, then just get rid of them altogether.

    i'd say that getting rid of field goals would be an equally terrible idea, but if they somehow aren't good enough to win games i don't understand why they should count at all.

    Just play another quarter. Whoever wants to quit can, this is the post-season.

    that would be the best solution if they've decided they don't like sudden death.
