I think I'd prefer to the kicking team lose a player, maybe two for that play. Make it 9-on-11 if they line-up for a kick and you might see more blocked kicks (making it more exciting), and you'd not have to move the ball back to make it a harder attempt.

If they line up for a regular play, then you get all 11 players (and none can be a kicker). If 11 players can fake a real play and turn it into a kick, well that's fine and good luck.

Another option would be to have the cheerleaders run the extra point play against each other. That would be entertaining. Or maybe the coaching staff.

Or - OH! FANS! You pull fans wearing jerseys out of the stands, randomly assign them positions, and they run the extra point play. How exciting would that be?

Like hitting??? Yeah, Roger does what Roger wants (or is told to want)...

If a player scores, he turns and runs back in the opposite direction. If he reaches the 20, it's one point. If he reaches the 50, it's two points. If he reaches the other end zone it's three points and he turns back around to try again. The play keeps going until he's tackled.

Since a sack occurs on 10% of all passes, an automatic 10 yard loss will be called on every 10th pass play, and all pass rushing will be banned...

Since running plays average 3.9 yards per attempt...

I've heard the arguments. I acknowledge it's a worthless play.

I still vote no.

Good argument.

The extra point is like an appendix. It is a remnant from a different historical period, when football was not the same game that we know today. It serves no purpose anymore. If the extra point did not already exist, there would not be single person arguing in its favor.

Presumably the people who want to keep it around are the types that a century ago would have been arguing against the legalization of the forward pass.

How about this?

No two-point plays, and the extra point kick must be attempted from the spot in the end zone where the touchdown was scored. Catch a nice fade in the back corner? Let's see if your kicker can bend it like Beckham.

You'd have a point except here we're not talking averages. We're talking about near certainties.

Stop changing the game, unless we're changing it back to the near perfect game it was in the 70s, 80s, and 90s.

Bullshit. It's exactly the same thing. In the case of the extra point, the average is one missed extra point every 0.4% of attempts so they're saying let's just say they're all good...It's still being based on averages...

I like to waste 30 mins a game on worthless plays also.

So after 50 years of play, the games are too long all of a sudden?

Yes.
