The Real Buffalo Joe Posted August 1, 2014 Share Posted August 1, 2014 I like it. Almost guarenteed, but still not a gimme. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Vader Posted August 1, 2014 Share Posted August 1, 2014 Doesn't this basically eliminate the fake extra point play? What if a team wants to go for two, but they line up to make it look like they are going for one? That's an exciting play that the NFL would be doing away with. No coach will risk going for two from the 15. No thanks, leave it the way it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DallasMac Posted August 1, 2014 Share Posted August 1, 2014 Either leave it the way it is or make the extra point automatic. If the team wants to go for two then line them up as usual. I hate the longer extra point. I'd rather they shrink the goal posts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mattsox Posted August 1, 2014 Share Posted August 1, 2014 If it ain't broke, don't fix it. It ain't broke. It is broke. It's stupid. Why do you need to kick and extra point after a TD? Just make a TD worth 7 or make it harder for an extra point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blaise321 Posted August 1, 2014 Share Posted August 1, 2014 I don't see the PAT, or any type of extra pt. conversion, eliminated from the game any time soon. It helps them cram 10 minutes of commecials in after every touchdown. TD--bunch of commercials--PAT--bunch of commercials--kick off--bunch of commercials--play Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boyst Posted August 1, 2014 Share Posted August 1, 2014 This is proof the NFL hates us. Why do they have to us in our first game? That's just more proof they want to mess with us.Just because we play ffirst doesn't make it right! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eball Posted August 1, 2014 Share Posted August 1, 2014 If it ain't broke, don't fix it. It ain't broke. I'd call a play that creates no drama and has the same result more than 99% of the time a waste of energy. That's "broke." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dirtbag Posted August 1, 2014 Share Posted August 1, 2014 i say keep it the way it is but have a randomly selected drunk fan perform the kick. to make it even more exciting, i would award the team an extra ten points if the fan pukes on the field at any point during the play. you could do the same thing for punts, fyi.

TD--bunch of commercials--PAT--bunch of commercials--kick off--bunch of commercials--play When do they play commericals right after the TD? They usually get lined up for the PAT quickly, during which the station shows the replay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
