The vision I heard, is that Rodgers always calls the down side... (and some speculation if some study might of given reason for possibly doing that)...
Tails was down the first time, so he called tails (it didn't flip and the ref redid it)
Heads was down the second time... and heads won it... (but they made him stick to his first call)

It's amazing he's 0-7 career in OT. Hasn't seen the ball in 4 of those. So, he's had 3 chances with the ball and has not gotten it done.
Thought that was an interesting little tidbit hearing about the psychology of the coin call. You provided even more intrigue and education, beast. Thanks for that. There is so much that goes on that we're so unaware of. I don't think there was a person in the world other than Aaron Rodgers aware of what happened during the coin toss while it was happening. Neat to be brought into the thinking, there.
Not a fan of the OT rules. Should just play it out..another quarter of football...or perhaps a shortened period where you play it all out. Sudden death is exciting but it sure hasn't been kind to us minus Al Harris "we're gonna score".
Ted Thompson sits on his hands per former GM: "because they’ve had 25 fricking years of great quarterbacks. Of course it works. Try it without a special quarterback."
