Roger Goodell says NFL considering eliminating extra point

No one could objectively be against eliminating the PAT. It is literally useless in terms of entertainment. Being against it would simply be a grumpy old man type fear of change.


Or just likes the game the way it is .:doh:

Adjust it , move it back , ok , but eliminate it ......no .So why have kickoffs , just start at the 20 after every score .Matty you said the success rate is 99.1 since 04 ,it's that .09 that makes it interesting and exciting .

That's not an objective argument. That's the fear of change argument. I like the game too...that doesn't mean it can't be made better. I ask this...why? Why is it better with a 99.1% always-made-kick that generates virtually no excitement?

...it's that .09 that makes it interesting and exciting .

No it doesn't.

Or the fact something happens 99.1% of the time without incident makes it F'ing boring.

I think every team should have to go for 2. That would make games way more interesting.

Can there be exceptions to the rules for Denver?

Why? If the air makes the balls fly better, than the temperature makes the ball rock hard. :D

That is something to deal with but the Rockies cut down on the home runs by storing balls in a humidor, so maybe they could throw the footballs in there too.

No, it makes you want to rip your hair out and the kicker's legs off.

It's not exciting, you either laugh uncontrollably or you blow a gasket depending on which side you're on.

You call this exciting?

The .09% chance of anything is only interesting if you are the one holding a winning lottery ticket.

If you can accept that the current PAT is simply perfunctory, which the numbers bare out, then you'd have to accept that TDs are functionally worth 7 points in today's NFL. Start from that point of view and follow a logical path of reasoning to understand why it should be changed in some way.

I personally think moving it back or making it more difficult in some other way actually changes the game MORE than just formally making TDs worth 7 and integrating the +1/-1 idea. So in some ways I am against drastic changes.
