Roger Goodell says NFL considering eliminating extra point

Possible compromises:

1. Keep it as is but rename it "The Superfluous Point".
2. Move it back to midfield and make it worth 20 points.
3. Mandate that it must be kicked by a one-legged player.
4. Put blindfolds on the snapper, holder, and kicker.
5. Bring randomly selected fans out of the stands to kick all extra points.
6. Spin a wheel after each made extra point(s) to determine its value - 1 to10 points.
7. Require all extra points to be kicked over a double decker bus at the LOS.
8. Bring carloads of clowns onto the field to perform during extra point attempts.

If they get rid of the extra point they are going to have some type of extra play. They don't want to lose commercial time by getting rid of a TV timeout.

BTW I hate the change, No need for it.
What's next QB kneel downs?

It's a part of the game, getting rid of it does not make the game better or safer. There is still a chance at a botched snap or shanked kick.

What about getting rid of the hail mary and qb spike to kill the clock? not needed so why not change it? don't answer I'm just being a dick.

There is no reason to change it!
How about focus on fixing officiating errors and and come up with a for players to play defense without getting roughing penalties.

These little bullshit changes are nothing more than Goodell trying to keep the press of the refs.

I'm sure TV can manage. They can just show more replays while the TD is being confirmed and then cut to commercial.

The whole point is improving upon a play that's become a mere formality. Last I checked hail mary's don't have a 99.1% success rate.

I say make it a 40 yarder for 1 or a 50 yarder for 2, and also make it returnable for touchdowns if it is blocked or returned by the defense.

^ There you go...uncontested kick right from the 50 yard-line...so a 60-yard kick. It can be returned like in Arena ball. :D

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.

This.

That's not an objective argument. That's the fear of change argument. ?



You can take that BS somewhere else .I like the game like it is ,yes ,so effing what ?Really because a bunch of bored wanna bees(most are drunk in front of their TVs) get tired of something....the whole game should change ,no ,not buying into it .
So why have a kicker ,for the thinking that I see in the posts here we don't need kickoffs either yes or no .

I agree. The +1/-1 idea really doesn't change the game apart from removing boring and useless plays.

When Goodell has changed other things, you were one of the guys to defend his every action. This also isnt a bunch of drunk wanna be's leading this cause, this is the NFL and Goodell wanting it changed.

Even if they get rid of kickoffs, you still need someone to kick FG's. Or are you saying they should get rid of those? Since not having a kicker at all means just that, no FG's.

Taking the kick out would actually allow for MORE commercial time.
