If you make kickers' jobs harder by giving them narrower goalposts or otherwise differentiating, it'll make kickers more important in the game. A team with a dominant kicker will see the same advantage as a team with a dominant running back or wide receiver. I'm not quite sure I want that.
pretty much spot on. and i like the idea. kinda makes it more cool to be a kicker. i mean, they are often the top scoring player on teams in games, and when there is a final score like 15-9, the focus is oh man they had a great defense out there, when your kicker did put up 5 field goals, and gets no recognition half the time.

Settling for 3 points is punishment enough.

PATs should be moved to be a 30 yard kick though, at least.

If anything, field goals make it too easy for guys like Alex Smith to compete.

I say get rid of field goals entirely.

points based on distance is dumb. Punish a team that moves farther down the field? why not just widen the has marks?

cmh6476 10-28-2013 07:24 PM
and blindfold the kicker on the pat

Dayze 10-28-2013 07:25 PM
i think the extra point is a complete waste of time.

keg softball rules. Kicker does a kegstand then kicks the pat

also plays into the fgs later in the game as the kicker gets more wasted throughout

think of it more like a jump shot vs a 3 pointer, where a touchdown is a slam dunk with nutsinyoface

Shaun Suisham says no.

Every thread isn't about Alex Smith you daft ****. Just shut the **** up.

I'd think eliminating the XP would make results even more unpredictable. It'd be more exciting, but you might end up with more upsets. You get in a close game and someone like Manning or Brady loses because they convert 1 two pointer and the other team has a good day and gets 3.

But Justin Medlock's life would be fantastic all of a sudden

It's very odd that the extra point has survived. The odds of making it are probably 99.5% or higher. Plus, it's very anti-climactic to kick an extra point for a win or a tie after scoring a touchdown.

They should just give teams seven points and give them the option of risking one of those points by going for eight. So you get 7 points for a touchdown, and if you go for another point you end up with either 8 points (successful) or 6 points (unsuccessful).
