Wouldn't have a problem doing away with it. Just make it automatic.

Same as with an Intentional walk in MLB, just say call for the IBOB and move on.

This is an easy way to boost scoring and keep current add time.

They will cut to commercial before going for "one"


Yay, yet another benefit for elite QB's.

Though I don't conceptually like the idea of getting a point without having to do anything to get it, I agree that the XP is a useless play these days. I'd be fine with getting rid of it as described, though I'd be more in favor of altering the play itself to make it more interesting (moving it back to 30 yards or something)?

Except NBA free throw % probably averages around 70% with some in the 50s. Extra point % is over 99%

There is no way in hell they are ever, ever doing that.

Tony Romo approves this message

If they just make the TD 7 points there's not giving anything that they didn't earn, it's just seven points. And I think it's important to keep a TD at seven to make sure a TD is worth more than two FGs.

That being said, and to sound a little bi-polar, wouldn't it be interesting to make FGs longer than 50 yards worth 4 points? Make it and get more points, miss it and setup the other team with awesome field position.

And while we're changing rules, I'd love to make catching the ball on fair catches mandatory. If not caught, it's a fumble. So get out of the way and let the D pin you back.

Sorry, getting ahead of myself...

Rep!

I don't like the idea of moving the XP back to make it more interesting. I'd rather them just get rid of it. I don't wanna make kickers a bigger part of the game.

If nothing else, he does a great job of creating hype around his product over stuff that shouldn't even be considered news. I wonder how many of these "proposals" are floating around at any given time.

I'm down with just leaving the game alone. The XP doesn't bother me at all. There's always still that rare chance that it's blocked or missed.

Another option under consideration is to make the extra point subject to public voting. You text to 85774 for yes, or to 35432 for no. It costs 50 cents to vote. It would produce a lot of revenue and encourage fan participation.

This. Why not move it back to the 25 and allow the defense to pick which hash mark to put it on? Better than Goddell's idea.

I don't want games to be decided by the ****ing point after.

How about dunking the ball over the crossbar as the extra point? If you score, you have to put the ball over the crossbar before being tackled or having it rejected.
