I don't know that it's the final solution but moving it back would be a good start.

or they could push it back farther in yardage and in time.. like no extra point kicks until the very end of the game and extra point attempts are tallied throughout the game so that a team down by 3 could win with no time left on the clock provided they scored 4 touchdowns in the game.

The only way to get what you want is to eliminate the 3-point FG, not the PAT...

By all means let's look at the leading scorer list from 2013 to see if there is veracity to your claims. Stephen Gostkowski scored 158 points and led the NFL in scoring. If you eliminate only his XP's (44) he scores 114 points. Now Jamaal Charles scored 19 TD's total to lead the NFL. If those TD's were worth 7 points he would have scored 133 points. In conclusion 133 > 114 If you're referring to games decided by kickers, then your making no point. I can accept the influence but a 42 yard XP only INCREASES their impact while eliminating the stupid thing changes NOTHING but putting football players at the top of the scoring leaders. Kickers have enough influence over outcomes... why give them MORE? Last edited by WhiteWhale; 03-04-2014 at 11:10 AM.. |

After a touchdown, you have the following options:
1. Kick from the 25 with all 22 players on the field - 1 point. 2. Go for 2 from the two yard line. 3. Kicker, snapper, and holder get a free kick from their own 48 - 3 points. 4. Go for it from the 2, but the kicker plays QB and the punter is the only guy allowed in the backfield - 4 points. 5. Kick returner stands on his goal line. Every player on the defending team must be a lineman. If he scores, 5 points. 6. Double down on an ensuing onside kick. If the kicking team recovers, they can try a field goal worth 6 points. 7. Go for it from the 2 yard line, but the defense gets to put 5 cheerleaders and 5 random fans on the field in addition to the defense - 7 points.

Punts, FGs and XP attempts are for quitters.

Leading the league in scoring 'some' years (which I don't think would happen hardly ever since I can do elementary level math) is different than nearly every season. Again, the XP sucks and eliminating it entirely does nothing bad at all to the game. It just puts football players at the top of the scoring board. That's it's 'drawback'. The drawback to a 42 yard XP is more game outcomes will rely on the quality of your soccer player. I like one idea and dislike the other. I don't care if you agree, but you don't have to keep lying to validate your opinion. |
