I'm ok with 2, which was discussed elsewhere on here.

I think 3 is freaking OBVIOUS. HELLO!!

4 is fine with me also.


Not that I'm a Pats homer or anything, but all of these just seem to make alot of sense.

FG was from a week 3 game. Pats lost the title game by 15.

Yeah, dumb. Been asking this for years.

I'm glad they are going to experiment with the PAT in preseason. It was too much to expect them to make a huge change to the game in 2014 without years of discussion, but at least it looks like we'll begin having that discussion.

I can wait till 2015 or 2016 to settle on a PAT solution that almost everyone agrees they can live with.
