Play defense. Don't have 12 men in the huddle. To a certain extent, I can understand why a lot of fans want the overtime rules to be changed, but don't complain just because your team got knocked out of the playoffs without a chance to even score on offense. Even though I do think that the overtime rule is fair, I have heard some interesting new theories.
What I think would be the best alternative plan would be to just play a full extra 15 minute quarter. Mainly because it is real football. The problem that I have with the college rule, is that you're not playing a true football game. Having to start playing at the 25 yard line? How many times in a game does either team start at the opponents 25? Not only that, after a few possessions if the game is still tied, you have to go for the 2-point conversion. Maybe it's alright for college, but not for the NFL.
Instead of the first one to score, make it, the first team to score 4 points. This means, a team that wins a coin flip, can't just win by moving up the field 30 yards to kick a 45 yard field goal. And if they do, there defense has to stop the other team from scoring a touchdown, and have to be able to do it again.
Either way, the only reason why Vikings' fans are upset over the overtime rule, is because they lost. Sometimes the game doesn't seem fair, but would that have anything to do outcome?
