I think all this does is shift it from who has the ball first to who has it last, and the coin toss winner still has a significant advantage. Maybe I’m wrong, but 10 minutes feels like ~3 total possession. Coin toss winner gets 2 to the losers 1. Say last night Allen answers the Mahones TD with a TD of his own. Then Mahones gets the ball back with a few minutes left, milks the clock and the Chiefs kick a last second FG. Is that any fairer than what actually happened?How about no OT at all in the regular season, 10 minute quarter in the postseason?
Seems like people equate fairness to having an equal number of possession. The only way to ensure that is to take out the game clock and literally just have one team possess the ball then the other.
