My modest proposal: After a TD, you have the option of a 40 yard FG, or a scrimmage play from the 10 yard line, for 3 points each.

Seems kinda far

Seems that there is a much higher chance of kicking a 40 yard FG.

in line with 50+ yard fgs being the norm these days, i still vote for more narrow uprights

Do you really need special teams anymore.
Why kickoff anymore, most are touchbacks just start at the 20/25 yard line for all drives.
XP's are kind of a waste of time, if you score a TD just award 7 points.

I say just make teams run a play from scrimmage from the 2 point spot. Award 1 point for making it.

In the playoffs the XFL changed its extra point rule to allow teams to go for two or three points by moving the line of scrimmage back farther from the goal line.


I would LOVE to watch the in-game strategy blunders this would cause. Does anyone know what yardages they used? 2, 5 and 10?

Narrower goal posts would solve everything.

i think it's fine because you still have the option to go for two from the same distance..

i don't like the idea of random kick a fg from a certain distance or attempt from another different difference..

I kind of like the idea of whoever scores the touchdown has to kick the extra point.

The XP isn't a formality. Ask John Carney.
