why is a safety only worth 2 points?
 

seriously. it's such an awesome play. it should be worth like 10 points. it's way harder to get than a touchdown.

I'm down. Make those 4 points, and field goals of 50+ yards 5 points.

That's just the way it is, deal with it.

But, you also get the ball right back, that is worth something.

A 10 point safety means the ball carrier just lets go of the ball so the D gets 7 instead. Then the D is trying to kick it OOB, and it turns into a clusterfark.

This isn't Arena ball!

defense is about defending

Not only that, but the opposing team has to kick it off from what, the 20? That's fair ... but I do agree, a safety is nearly impossible to get.

why is the sky blue?

How about having safeties be worth two points, but then for the next 30 seconds afterward, the defense gets one additional point for every offense player that they can drag out of bounds. That'd be fun to watch.

:D:clap:

Sounds like you have a blueprint for a new and improved XFL. lol

XFL ... wow. I forgot that that trashy game ever existed.

Oh,come on now. Who can forget "he Hate Me"

The Las Vegas Outlaws were the best!

Rep.

You have to put that on a scale, I think.

QBs - 1 point.
OL - 6 points each.

Actually that is a good point. I think they kinda make up for the 2 points though because the team that scores the 2pts gets the ball back. So potentially it's a 9 point play.

not when your offense sucks.

would the player who was drug out of bounds then be eliminated from the game?
