There was definitely noise then, too

I am a neutral observer so I don't have a dog in this fight. As a fan, I did feel cheated (both times) out of not getting to see a great QB have a chance in OT.

One aspect of this, though, is that defenses are totally gassed at the end of games. While it's cool to see the offenses take over, part of that is they are going against guys on an empty tank. I'm not sure it would be fun to watch a back and forth OT where no one can stop anyone else.

Perhaps so. I don't recall it.

Your point about the defense being tired is a good one. Just look at what a shootout the end of this game was... we'd have it every time there was OT. Plus, there would be even less of an incentive to go for 2 at the end of the game if you managed to score with a chance to tie or win.
