Now teams can just decide to keep going for it, especially if they have momentum or whatever; yeah its the rule, but it takes away, "fairness," IMO.

That means that hypothetically, the opposing offense can NEVER get the ball, throughout an entire game, as the "kicking team," can decide to constantly go for it.

I know that won't happen, but I don't like this idea at all.

This isn't high school. If a team wants to keep going for it, go for it. It's the NFL, you only get 16 games. Make the most of them.

But I'm of a 'hang 61 on them if you feel like it, Sam' kind of mind.

If that's the case, not a fan. As above, if you feel the need to onside on your first possession, you should have that ability.
