Why? We know that this affects a small % of points scored. But it's a change that majorly affects the way the game is played.

Thr extra point "try" in its current format is useless.
Need to make it much more challenging, however, increasing the distance substantially will eliminate the fake option.
How about ball must hit the crossbar (any of the three) for 1 point, 2 points rules stay the same?

Scahrew that. What if a team is down 7 late? You wanna make them kick a 50 yard XP just because they scored a long TD?

put the goal post on a golf cart and drive it back and forth like the old QB Skills competition in the Pro Bowl.

I wish they still did that stuff. They should just do a skills competition instead of the Pro Bowl.

Eliminating the extra point attempt, and extending the season into the playoffs while contradicting the notion of player safety? Man, Goodell really loves this games integrity.

:rolleyes:

Wouldn't it be cool to see linemen pushing a sled that was rigged like a tractor pull?

This........

I could see us losing a playoff game due to a missed extra point. So get rid of them

The NBA will soon switch its rules and just award a team points when a player is fouled instead of having them shoot free throws,

First, they abolished defense, now they are going for X-pts.

Check this out, "the Playoff Bowl", a kind of sort/of precursor to the Pro Bowl:


Really, though, the whole thing seems kind of ridiculous. It'd never fly now. In fact, it barely did then. After his Green Bay Packers beat the Cleveland Browns in the 1963 game, Vince Lombardi called it "the Shit Bowl. A loser's game for losers. Because that's all second place is."

Awesome, Vince, but technically it was for third place.

Go for 2.

It wouldn' tbe that surprising if they bring it back. They are always looking to add more games to the season, more teams to the playoffs, etc. They have talked about dumping the pro bowl for years, too. Actually, that's what most of the pro-bowl coverage is, a bunch of debate every year about whether they should keep it.

So I wouldn't be surprised if they bring back a runner-up game, either replacing or in addition to the pro bowl.

FGs and extra points are for quitters.
