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.

Are you really going to miss seeing a twenty yard kick?

Hell, 20 yard field goals are boring.

You have to do that anyway. You're not allowed to fake an XP. At least... I don't think so...?

A failed attempt puts you back to 6.
Yeah, I sure hope not. This is an example of a rule change that improves the fan experience, but worsens the game. At least moving the XP back lessens the odds of a kicker completing an XP without disrupting the flow of the game we're used to.

You realize our curse distances are 35, 39 and 42.

Coincidence?

Just get rid of the XP entirely. I loved that idea. 7 points for a TD. Replace the 2 point conversion with an optional 8th point under the same rules as the 2 pointer.

Glorified soccer players should NOT lead the NFL in scoring. A football player should.

All this would do is make having a good kicker more valuable in football (which would make it bad for the Chiefs at the present time). Most NFL coaches wouldn't have the balls to go for 2 more often.

How does it 'worsen' the game? I mean that's an opinion I totally disagree with. I can think of several ways it improves the game.

They aren't messing with the flow and strategy of the current system, its just the PAT. The PAT is clearly broken.

I think some coaches would go for 2 most of the time.

Like coaches who can do math.

This idea looks very good to me, its far superior to that earlier idea they had which I was already on board with.

A 42-yard PAT would greatly improve the game.

You know something is broken when you can eliminate it and it would change absolutely NOTHING other than turning the league's leading scorer into a RB or WR.

THAT would be TERRIBLE. I loved the old idea.

Personally I hate the new idea though. Game outcomes rely too much on glorified soccer players already.
