why spend more time on overtime in the NFL

People don't like the fact that the NFL isn't discussing the way overtime works. Basically, if you play 60 minutes of football and come up tied, we flip a coin over who gets the ball first and whoever scores first wins. Something like 66% of the time, the team that wins that coin toss gets the ball and scores....game over. Essentially, you've placed the fate of the two teams in a coin.

I'm asking...so what? If your team has 60 minutes to affect the outcome of the game and prove itself better than its opponent and fails to do that, they deserve the coin flip. You have a whole game to prove your skill, use your strategy, and do whatever necessary to win the game. If the other team is good enough to make that impossible, but not good enough to beat you, neither of you has proven yourself worthy of a victory. You've battled yourself to mediocrity. If you truly deserved the win, it would have been decided long before the clock dies down to 00:00, but you didn't, or you wouldn't be in this situation. You deserve the coin flip, and just be happy that even if you lose that, you're given the opportunity to stop the other team from scoring and get the ball back to your offense. Next time, win the game in regulation time or take what luck gives you, and don't whine about it.
