The other extra time games have resulted in one team running away with it, so doing it in H&A doesn't necessarily mean you'll have a tight finish like tonight. This result was something special.

Nah too far away. Want it to be frustratingly close like 30m. You wonder how football players can miss a penalty in football, because it's so damn close.

So many players already miss from 30m out directly in front, doesn't need to be more difficult than that as you run through the list.

Need I elaborate really? How good is a game of NFL when it goes to extra time? So insanely intense, like almost nothing that Aussie Rules can produce.
Tonights game was like those games.
But NFL has the "golden goal" type rule where a team can effectively lose because of a coin toss - like the Falcons in last year's Superbowl

Until the first team that wins an extra time H/A match then loses the next week and then they/they're fans blame that they had to play an extra 10 minutes/maybe even 20 minutes until a golden score winner than their opposition just like the 5 day - 6 day break whinge

The NFL have it right, it's why it's the most intense game in the world.
NFL combines America's two favourite past times; violence and management meetings.

Individual plays are awesome, but it's hardly intense when you have to stop to switch over one of your three teams between plays.
