What about making the amount of points variable by yardage and method for the Points After Attempt?

< 25 yardline for a kick is 1 point, conversion 2 points.
26-35 a kick is two, conversion 3.
36+ kick is 3, conversion 4 or 5 points...

Yes I do like it actually because while its extremely rare to miss it has decided some games before.

5 out of 1267 kicks. Or 5 out of 256 games. 2% of games potentially affected.
Kind of like a 1 percent chance to blow a 28 point lead.

A ****ing RT just went no 1 in the draft.

Yeah, that's ****ing providing excitement...

No extra point gives time for two more network commercials. Cha-ching.

And here's my post suggesting it, made on October 28th.

I'm not bragging, I'm just proud to be part of the Hunt consulting team.

That's lower than 1%.

That gets around the issue. The point is, people always think of a touchdown as being 7 points. Why not just leave that alone, and get rid of the meaningless play that goes with it? Does anyone actually enjoy watching the extra point?

To move it back to the 20 would result in more 6 point touchdowns, with more misses. Maybe not many overall, because today's kickers are so good, but still enough to screw things up.
So you say it's meaningless.

Ok, fine. I offer a way to give it more meaning.

You complain that it might give it too much meaning.

Who's wife are you?...

At least RTs actually play the game. We're talking about kickers, man, kickers /in best AI voice.

Getting rid of the extra point is the transformation of a great game? Hardly, unless this brings other changes, which are less sensible.
When has this NOT been the case?...

Just automatically award FG's less then 30 yards. Those are rarely missed also.

POND_OF_RED 01-20-2014 05:22 PM
Sure it's pretty pointless, but I've never heard of anyone complaining about it. Just leave it alone. Gives me more time to refill my drunk or take a leak.

Ha. You know you're beat when you have to start saying reeruned shit like this.

chiefzilla1501 01-20-2014 05:25 PM
Are we ****ing serious here?

This rule would be so stupid in so many ways. It doesn't matter if the XP is pretty automatic. What's more important is that every time you kick an XP, you make a decision not to go for 2. I like the fact that teams have the option of laying up and getting a safe one point. Especially late in games.
