The long extra point

I don't see the point. We're people complaining about PATs before? I don't recall it ever being an issue so just leave it the eff alone.

 

Board nfl execs coming up with poo out of boredom

i agree with the new rule too. i think it makes the game much more interesting. teams with bad kickers (im talking to YOU Jordan Gay!!!) may opt to try for the two points instead of trusting in a poo kicker. i also think it may increase the odds that a coach will go for two after any given touchdown, making scoring scenarios much more interesting.

 

I think the change is the best way to approach the PAT, without eliminating the point after kick altogether.

 

the only better idea IMHO, is to make the 2-pt conversion only worth 1 point, and remove the point-after kick from the game. that way when a team scores, they have still earned the right to go for an extra point, but it would be more difficult than simply kicking the ball from like 15 yards away...

 

and if the NFL insisted on keeping something resembling a 2-pt conversion, there are two ideas that could satisfy that. 1) allow a 2-pt try from the 5 or 10 yard line. must be a run or a pass, but would be much more difficult than my proposed 1-point conversion. also 2) allow teams to try for my proposed 1-pt conversion twice. personally, i like the latter...

    • The blue line is a mess not collectively, but having to shuffle pieces just to get 3 D lines on the ice while playing three perennial contenders in 3 consecutive games without a break, there's not a lot of room for error.  Last night, there was literally not a single defensive pairing that had ever skated together before, either in the preseason or so far this season. 
    • Yeah, I am just looking at our pass blocking stats and the Texans stats being similar, but our oline is way better than theirs IMO. I feel like there are at least 5 times a game 3+ guys come free on a pass rush for opposing teams vs. the Texans. I can't recall too many times I have seen multiple lineman get beat/blow their blocking assignment on the same play this season for us.
    • I agree Someone like CJ who throws one of the nicest balls and throws with anticipation and everything you want just protect him. He has Nico. All other resources should’ve gone into the OL Now with that said I don’t think Young’s numbers would be very far off from Stroud’s had he gone to Houston  I mean since the whole CJ giving Caleb that post game speech their numbers are pretty similar if I’m recalling correctly
