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.

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

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.

It would ultimately make that extra point more valuable than just automatically guaranteed

Great idea, IMO. If it goes through, it will make goal line strategy more complex (and therefore more interesting). It will also increase the value of a good kicker.

I think they need to make the ball round while they're at it.

I don't have a problem with this. I'm glad they're hopefully moving away from the moronic idea of taking away the XP alltogether

Also, widen the hash marks. That's an easy solution that doesn't screw with the integrity of the game. Only adds intrigue.
