This Chiefs fan isn't crying about the OT format...it's the way things go, and it is better than the old format of win the toss and kick a field goal. I still prefer the college format, but that's a preference.
I will also add that the Rams have nothing to complain about...they were gifted that last possesion in regulation to tie the game. New Orleans should have had first and 10 and the chance to bleed the clock to nothing if the officials call that game correctly.

I think that's 100% the case. If we won the toss and scored, would we hear the same cry from NE supporters? It's the way the rules are and hardly the "reason" the Chiefs didn't win.
I'm totally disappointed and wish the game would've gone the other way...I wish Ford didn't line up offside, or we blitzed when they were 3rd and long or covered Edelman or whatever. But I don't have any sour grapes or think that NE didn't deserve it or anything like that. If anything, I basically think that NE and that last 15 years there is incredible. I don't like them, but the truth is they're just good.
