NFL Commish may do away with extra point

There's one reason for EVERYTHING Goodell has done. Lets see if I can sum it up...

The suggestion came from Bill Belichick and is being explored by the Competition Committee. I don't like Goodell at all but he did not float this idea.

I would prefer they move it back 15 yards just to make it more interesting.

The extra point going away? The @nflcommish says it's possible. Also talked playoff expansion + reviewing helmet-helmet hits, tonite 8pm ET

 

It is kind of useless and I would prefer they make it more difficult.  But I can understand why they want to do away with it. 

 

But I can't help but think back to the 03 season, when a blocked extra point against Tampa helped propel us to a division winning season and our only (so far) superbowl appearance.

The article on NFL.com suggests the new rule would be taking seven points automatically, or risking only taking six if going for a point after attempt. (Kinda like the "Blitz" series games)

Goodell said that out of 1200 attempts, only five were not made.

 

One was a Panthers, one in a million, block in Tampa that helped us get to the Super Bowl.  

 

Leave poo alone, and get the fug off my lawn. 

 

(edit, I see someone already brought this up. fug off, and stay the fug off my lawn)

    • To kick this up, The Athletic has a really comprehensive piece out where pretty much all QB questions are addressed. It is worth seeing.  https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/7083539/2026/03/04/starting-quarterback-projections-free-agency-draft/?source=user_shared_article I’m putting something specific here but it should have a thread or something. It is an extensive exercise.  This is a dense write up with a lot of column inches used, about the Jets and Murray and Reich, all this stuff.. then it goes to backup QB and there is Dalton.  I am pasting that part: As for Dalton, Reich is installing the offense he was trying to run in Carolina in 2023 before he got fired, and Dalton was with the Panthers then; he’s an ideal option as a veteran backup to replace Taylor. Reich said this about Dalton in 2023: “The way he's throwing the football, the way he works through progressions, the way he handles the operation. … Since day one (when) he walked in the door, I'm like, 'This guy is starter-worthy.' You guys know I've said that all along. He's, in my opinion, one of the best 32 quarterbacks in the world.” ——— That’s true love lol. I never heard any of this. Pretty crazy I think, considering how the year went.   Anyway the dream is not dead. . 
    • The Seahawks traded for wide receiver/returner Rashid Shaheed at the trade deadline. He proved to be a key acquisition. Shaheed returned a punt and a kickoff for touchdowns in the regular season and had a 95-yard kickoff return in the postseason. Shaheed, though, is scheduled for free agency. So, the 12 games he played, including the postseason, might be the extent of his time in Seattle. Adam Schefter of ESPN reports that Shaheed and the Seahawks are not close to an extension, and the expectation is that the two-time Pro Bowler will hit free agency. Shaheed has 153 receptions for 2,243 yards and 12 touchdowns in his four-year career to go along with three punt return touchdowns and a kickoff return touchdown. He ranks 13th on PFT’s top-100 free agents. https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/report-rashid-shaheed-appears-headed-to-free-agency
