New NFL Overtime Rules

So what do y'all think?

I don't have strong opinions either way. But... I'm interested to see how the change plays out. Will it make overtime games more exciting? Probably, but they were already pretty exciting. The rules sound to me like they build more risk into the equation; which is to say, you can't get a decent return, a good pass or two, and then run three times before kicking a field goal. Since they're going with it anyways, I'd like to see the rule in the regular season, so we could see Belichick going for it on 4th down in overtime to get a touchdown.
