Move the kick back to the 20 or 25 yard line. I like what Bilichek said about it. "Touchdowns are 7 points now, not 6". It's virtually a free point.

A 20-25 yd attempt would make it interesting...I bet Vegas would think so.

I do the same thing, except that I get one whenever either team scores, or not.

Imagine the pompous soccer fans if they cut down on kicking in football.

They already look down on us and insist in calling it "handegg" instead of football.


So jealous and annoying. They'd be even worse.

If the league is contemplating getting rid of the extra point because it's a mostly boring, time-wasting, nuisance that adds nothing to the game, shouldn't they also consider getting rid of Cris Collinsworth?

I think its been shown earlier in the thread that missed extra points haven't impacted anywhere near 2-3games per season.

I think its more like 1 game every 2-3 seasons. And I am not even sure about that.

They should just move it back to 40 yards. That makes things a little more interesting.

Giantone, don't make me post the Miracle at the Meadowlands video. You know, Joe Pisarcik to Herm Edwards. That one.

Sorry just pointing out that FRPLG was wrong (post #120) by using his own team to prove my point.
You know you bring up a good point, people don't like teams taking a knee so to prove the point that taking a knee at the end of a game is a good thing people need to see that play and might understand a little bit better.

How does that make me wrong? Your proof is one missed PAT. That's not wrong. That's statistical probability. For every single PAT miss you show I can show 250 made. 250 times that most of the audience was getting a beer or hitting the john and came back and the TD still counted for 7. You can show one time in like 10 years where it mattered.

Hell, there are like 10x more spaces before periods in your posts in the last month than mussed PATs this season.

What I showed is, yes, it matters.

that is really the best argument for keeping PAT.

now i need to choke my pee mid-stream so i can get back to see the kickoff and eventual touchback?

if entertainment is the goal, how would taking a football play away add entertainment?

id rather have 123 footbal plays in a game than 119.

id rather leave the 1% chance a kicker may miss a PAT to tie the game in closing seconds.

isnt a missed PAT to tie or win the game a super entertaining play?

i just dont see a compelling argument to change it and i think the compelling reason would have to substantially outweigh any counter benefit to allow for a rule change.

but if entertainment is the reason ... isnt any football play more entertaining than none at all?

Keep everything the way it is. If you make it harder for the extra point or encourage more teams to go for 2 the chances are the score will not be tied for very long after 0-0 and you will have teams on odd score numbers quickly. You probably won't see any more tied scores late in games or games going to overtime.

[TheMalcolmConnection]

OK, that made me LOL.

Giantone, I'm dead serious out of morbid curiosity now: WHY do you do the extra spaces!?!?!?
