In another iniative, R-God would like to change the sport's name to "Ball".

The point after should be where they add 15yds for after td personal foul.

The big problem is the tension in a game isn't supposed to come from the field goal. The tension comes from the entire scoring structure. You have to retain the 6+1 and 3 and 2 scoring method. If you take that out, the entire idea of play calling changes to accommodate the value proposition of scoring.


The field goal is SUPPOSED to be a bonus. Teams have ALWAYS had the option to go for two.

Lengthening the field goal is the only way to go about "fixing" it if you have to do something.

But it shouldn't be changed at all.

Keep the two point conversion from the, make kick from 40 yards also for two points.

A little unrelated, but I wish the NFL would go to the wider hashmarks. It always seemed a bit silly for the professional kickers to get easier angles than the college ones.

Goodell is one of those dumbass tinkerers. He has knee jerk reaction to concussions and fricks up the game with a bunch of dumbass rules that absolutely no one likes, then tries to unfrick his frickup with another frickup.

He'll go down as one of the worst commissioners in history.

First good idea they've had in the past 20 years.

so b/c kickers are really good he wants to dump them?

why not just move the kicker back to like the 15 on the extra point?

then like others have said if you want to go for 2 you get it at the 5.
