Goodell's complaint was that EPs were too easy and "automatic". I proposed something to make them more difficult.

I would rather get rid of them.

It's pretty easy to hate. All Goodell cares about is scoring, and this will force teams to go for two (as in, MOAR POINTZZZZ). He's watering down the league one rule change at a time.

How will it force teams to go for two? You get seven automatically. But if you go for two and fail, you get six. Same as now, only you just don't have to kick the extra point if you are ok with 7.

The kicks, or the hash marks? I agree either way.

How many times did teams attempt two points this year instead of the EP? What percentage?

I understand the dislike of Goodell, but I've thought about this idea for a long time.

There's not many other plays in sports (if any), where points are awarded in such an automatic fashion. It's a pointless play. Everyone equates a touchdown with 7 points anyway.

So move the XP to the 20.

At least then the wind and rush has a legitimate impact...

The kicks, but I wouldn't be upset if they dropped the hashes as well.

Make it a longer kick. Simple.

There is no logic problem. If they do this they can remove 5-10 worthless plays per game. Heck, now when teams get inside the 2 often they'll just go for it on 4th. There were a whopping 12 19yd fgs in the entire NFL this year out of 998 total. There were 1267 xps.

Sweet then we can start valuing kickers more, just what everyone wants!

Why don't they consider moving the extra point kicks back so they are not so automatic?

I posted a thread awhile back from a Peter King I think that argued that NFL kickers have become too good.

I like it.

Except on the rare occasions when it is missed/blocked and it ads something to the game. Im in favor of keeping it as is for that reason.

And the transformation of a once great game continues. Why in the hell do they have to keep ruining this sport.

5 out of 1267 kicks. Or 5 out of 256 games. 2% of games potentially affected.

Clark must be on Chiefsplanet, because I proposed this exact idea a while back.

Clark, if you're reading this, good job. Post once in a while, and be sure to vote in the sceneitall tournament. And my company does analytics if you ever want to get a competitive upper hand.
