NFL moves extra point to 15 yard line

[JARROD]

Yeh no more fakes,....

 

Just let them go back to group touchdown celebrations and let the fans text in yes or no to say it deserves a 2 point or 1 point conversion,.......

 

Might as well,..

[hepcat]

So what would you get for scoring a TD on a failed 2 pt conversion? 2 or 7 pts?

 

That's a good question.  Seems kinda fuged up the defense could score 6 on a play that the offense can only score 2.  

[cookinbrak]

A 2 pt conversion is only worth 2 points in college, so it prolly be the same in pro.

[ooglechi]

What happens if the defense blocks/intercepts/recovers on a 1/2pt try and they kick it through the uprights via dropkick, is that worth 1 point?

[AviationMX]

why do they still have the PAT? it's the plica semilunaris of football

 

 

 

 

 

did you look it up?

[fjblair]

Hmm...so what will the "River-boat" do.

 

Punt?

[1989]

I like that the 2 point can be returned!

[Frank Hollywood]

If it hasn't been stated yet, the defense can score 2 points by returning a touchdown.

Then you're rewarding bad offense.

Get too close and you get penalized. That's just strange.

I think FGs should be reduced. 1-2 pts max. Or increase the value of a TD. A 4 point kick from the 35-40 yard line is easier than getting a TD. Teams would then pay a premium for beastly kickers and then we would really have "foot"ball.

 

That's a good point. To play devil's advocate it would make STs even more important but yea getting closer for less points does sound strange. I was thinking more about the difficulty of the play. I think 50+ yard FGs are pretty tough and if only those went for more points then I still wouldn't have a problem with it. I think extra points are wasted time anyway and not too many people would argue against TDs going for 7 flat.

[Mr. Scot]

Panther fans who've been around since 2003 should be the last ones to ever argue that the extra point should be done away with.

It's not rewarding bad offense because the TD is still worth 6. You can't punch it in you only get a chance at 3.

but if you can't get passed the 35 you get 4? See what I'm saying?

Oh. Yes. I thought you were saying the moved back PAT was rewarding bad offense for not scoring. You were talking about 4 pts for a FG from there. Nevermind.

Im ok without the extra point. Still can't wrap my head around boosting FGs for distance. The FG should be worth less the farther back it is.

This would keep uber conservative coaches like Fox and Rivera from settling for FGs and use their more than adequately compensated offenses to do their damn jobs.
