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

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

That's certainly a viable alternative.

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.

Honestly, the NFL has already eliminated defenses. It makes sense that they would now eliminate special teams. The league today is nothing but quarterbacks playing catch with receivers, and the best quarterbacks win the championship, dragging the other 52 players along with them.

I really, really wish they would roll back some of the rules that are ruining the game.

If you want to fix soccer, just eliminate the offside rule, and things will get much better IMO. The one thing that kills most folks about soccer is the lack of scoring. We may not need to to be like basket ball and have a score every 12 seconds, but letting folks hang close, but out of the goal areas (but it'd be fine to be inside the penalty box), would go a long way to making the game better. Once again, just my opinion..

I assume that if you look at regular season totals that corner kicks would result in less scoring, as the overall quality of play would be lower.

I also think there should be different scoring for varying lengths of FGs.

Why would you want to reward a team for not getting close to the endzone?

Raiders would just have Janikowki boot it from 50 every drive.

I think it would be interesting if FGs of over 55 yards were worth 4 pts.

And FGs of less than 25 yards would be worth only 2.
