stupid refs screwed it up.
Yeah cuz the refs kept throwing picks and dropping the ball lol.
I'll admit that we did have a lot of turnovers, but I don't really care about that. the OT was messed up because of the play before the kick, where the guy trapped it against himself.

I Understand what you are talking about, but what every coach and player will tell you is that, while that is unfortunate, it should have not even mattered.  The game should have long ago been solidly in Viking hands so if you play in a way that puts it in a situation where the refs, through a blown call, can take it from you, then you still cannot really blame the refs  because you had five posessions to make points that you gave away. 

I dont know the stats but I would be surprised if a significant number of teams have won games in spite of giving away 5 turnovers.  IN football that is a HUGE number of lost oppertunities and if opposing offenses take advantage of those lost oportunities, then it just becomes really difficult to dig out of that.

When will the NFL finally move away from the joke that is overtime rules?  College has it right, the NFL's rules absolutely stink.

I totally agree that each team should get a possession, but I believe it should be a kickoff and not start at the 35 yard line.

That sounds good to me too, might as well "upgrade it" for the NFL.  However, either of those options is better than the current rules that just encourage luck.

I would prefer that kickers and punters not be allowed in overtime.  THAT would make the game interesting!

I would be happy with that, but I would still say that it relies too much on the coin toss.

I do wish OT rules were changed to where it does not all stand on the kicked. Each team should get a shot I think.

Yep... but let's face it the Vikings just plain messed up... Brett Favre threw an interception at a crucial time and the Favre/Peterson fumble/confusion thing costed them a touchdown... they should have won.
