I agree with you they should move it back but if they aren't going to do that might as well try something else.

Or get rid of it and make the PAT an automatic 2-point try.

No reason to get rid of the PAT because it's a safe play. Minimal risk for injury.

That's a good point. We don't want anybody getting a skinned knee or anything.

ROFL

True.

Eliminate it make every TD require a 2-point play or I guess you could have them try the EP from 30-35 yds

I just don't get the outrage over KICKOFFS.

People bitch about kickers all the time. FG suck. Touchbacks suck.

But when they propose replacing the kickoff, people go all "bah, what are they doing? next thing you know they'll get rid of leather helmets."

It's silly.
As a completely ironic aside, I think if they went back to having no helmets we might see the concussion problem go down. I think the awesome helmets lead players to hit with their heads more often.

BigMeatballDave 12-07-2012 02:53 PM
I'd be in favor of scraping the PAT for the 2-pointer.

BigMeatballDave 12-07-2012 02:56 PM
I also think there should be different scoring for varying lengths of FGs.

Actually, I agree with that 100%.

I really, really wish they would roll back some of the rules that are ruining the game.
This. But I think some lawyers might have had a little say in scaring them into some of their decisions... But they still suck!

Leather helmets.

Goodell doesn't really have much of an option here. The lawsuits are already coming in, and public opinion isn't going to improve when we see guys committing suicide left and right. He might be forced to change by the legal community.
