NFL Commish may do away with extra point

[h0llywood]

5 yard 1 pointer or 10 yard 2 pointer?

[Seal (SmittyIsOurSavior)]

There's literally no point in removing it.

 

Ha, I get it.

Choosing between 1 and 2 gives the game complexity and potential for amazing finishes.

You're still given the option between 1 and 2 points...

[Carl Spackler]

For those wanting to get rid of the extra point, remember this:

 

In Week 2 of the 2003 season, we'd have lost to the Bucs if it were like that. Instead, after their last-second TD, we blocked the extra point that would have beat us, and we won in OT on our way to a Super Bowl season.

Just leave the fuging game alone. God this dude sucks so fuging bad.

What are you talking about? You mean you dont like:

-the complete elimination for the need of the RB position

-one sided rules that favor everything an offense does

-refs throwing the flag first whether there was a penalty or not

-diluted playoffs

-3 teams a year losing a home game to play in another country

-Caught cheaters (Sean Payton/Bill Bellicheck) only getting a slap on the wrist

-the elimination of the extra point

-refs becoming the determining factor in way to many games

-kick offs all but being eliminated

-TD celebrations being removed

-PED use on the rise

besides that. This guy is an angel. Nothing wrong :)

Bill Belichick suggested this move in a press conference earlier in the year. His reasoning is that it's too automatic now--something like 99.4% are completed. When the extra point came into existence, you had WRs, linemen and other players attempting them. There was no such thing as a kicking specialist back then. Kickers nowadays make 20 yard field goals with their eyes closed. Bill had a point. It's a boring, meaningless play that wastes too much time. Maybe the commish is taking orders from ol' Billy Boy.

Can he not be kicked out?

[rko396]

If they insist on changing it, they should either:

1) make it a 30 yard try

Or

2) make the player who scored the TD kick it

NFL= NASCAR football league in the goodell years. I wonder when we will have a points system and everyone gets a bowl game.

It sounds like that will still be the case. Touchdowns will count as 7, or you have the choice to make it 8 or 6 with a conversion attempt.

[Herbert The Love Bug]

So you will have to go for 2 now?

Get rid of kickers altogether in the game known as football....touchdowns can count as 1 point. Get rid of punters in the game of football, have the QB throw the punt like backyard football.

 

 

Football!
