NFL considering pushing back extra point attempt
Sorry if already posted, didn't see it anywhere.

The NFL Competition Committee has discussed experimenting this preseason with a longer -- much longer -- extra-point try. According to one member, the committee's meetings this weekend included preliminary talks about placing the ball at the 25-yard line for the extra-point kick -- which would make it a 42-yard attempt -- rather than the 2-yard line, where it is currently placed.

Last season, kickers missed just five of 1,267 extra-point attempts, a conversion rate of 99.6 percent -- so good that Commissioner Roger Goodell recently suggested the demise of the extra point could be imminent, because it is almost automatic, and thus not exciting enough. A longer extra-point try certainly would make things more interesting and require significantly more strategizing. The conversion rate of field goals between 40 and 49 yards last season was 83 percent. The last time the extra-point conversation rate regularly fell below 90 percent was in the 1930s and early 1940s. That surely would give coaches something to ponder when weighing whether to kick for one point or try for two, with the success rate for two-point conversion attempts typically around 50 percent
I would LOVE this! Would make the game even more exciting in the last minutes when down by 7. And would add much more value to kickers. I expect that there would also be a lot more 2 point attempts. I really hope they do this.

While I agree with that for the most part, the extra point as it stands is a useless play that is 99% guaranteed to succeed. Why even have it then? Why not just add the point automatically or just get rid of it?

This is kind of how I feel about it. Introduce some risk into the PAT.

I think the 20 yard line would be perfect. Where they spot the ball for a touchback and a 37 yard attempt

Make them drop kick it, but snap it from the same place they do now. Then, if the kicker wants to run, he can run it in, then at the last minute kick it.

I'd be okay with this. You'd see more 2-point conversion attempts.

Yep and start legitimizing kickers and making them actually earn their $$ if not more now. And the majority of kickers who now get taken in the 7th or undrafted might start going in the 6th if not 5th rounds IF they are really good. Still can't believe Seabass went in the 1st but then Al was alive then
