The closest to a concession that I'd be willing to give on the issue would be the idea that in overtime the kicking team kicks off from the 40 instead of the 30. Make that rule and I bet the receiving and kicking team win 50% of the time in the long run.

You don't have to have the same number of possessions. But if each team gets a chance with their offense and their defense, they have no complaint after that. Like in basketball, you play offense and you play defense. If your defense can't secure offensive rebounds and your opponent gets 10 shots on a single trip downcourt, you have no complaint because you had the opportunity. But to tell one team "you get a chance because of how the coin landed" but tell the other team "you get a chance ONLY if you can stop the other team" is not fair.
