What? When do we ever see a 99 yard return to end games? Usually it's just a team methodically working there way down the field and then kicking a field goal to win it.

Just wait until your team loses the way we did...then see what you think about it.

Unfortunately, the coin toss put our defense out there which is obviously not the Colts' strength...I just think the offense should get a chance as well.

The coin toss didn't make your team do dumb penatlies or not force a punt after having Chargers in serveral third & long situation..

From an entertainment standpoint i'd love to see the NCAA rules for OT in the NFL but the current set up is good enough as well. Don't fix what aint broken.

I'd like them to just add another quarter of play.

As much as people like to say "NCAA OT isn't football", not letting a team have the ball isn't football either.

Overtime is fine. Coin flip decides who gets the ball, not who wins the game. Stop bitching.

If your defense stops the other team your get your shot, if not then you lose simple as that. How is it different from the regulation? you want it so both offenses get the same amount of possessions to make it fair? You guys are babies sometimes man, you lost get over it

It's way different from the regulation.

And it's easy for you to tell Colts fans to get over it...but the way we lost is hard to get over.

You act as if the team lost the Super Bowl. Calm down a bit. As a Bills fan i've seen my fair share of heartbreakers but I don't go screaming for rules to be changed.
