When it was first score wins, people *****ed. Now, even though you need the TD to win, and a FG gives the opponent an opportunity to tie or win, you're *****ing.
I have no problem with the rule now as is. The problem with the FG-wins-right-away rule is the coin toss determines who gets the ball first... and a team only had to drive 45 yards or so to get a makeable shot at a FG and if you have a kicker like Janikowski even fewer yards than that. Now an offense has to go the length of the field and if they can do that they earned the win. If the defense or special teams can't stop them from doing that then too bad they deserve to lose. Football is a team game it's not a game where we need to accomodate a QB so he can get his stats.
Don't like it - then play better in regulation and don't go to OT.
