So no more extra points, no more kickoffs… might as well just eliminate field goals, too, and get rid of kickers altogether
Why not get rid of running backs as well? Make it 100% passing sport?

Do you not agree that kickoffs are less exciting now that twice as many are touchbacks?

We're going to have to rename this game that used to be called football.
How about "association football"
Or "soccer" for short.

Narrower goal posts solves this.

Hell no
Poor communication on my part 
I'm sick and tired of seeing kicks out the back of the endzone.

Why can't it just stay the way it is?
Posted on 1/20/14 at 5:46 pm to ballscaster
what I'm saying is that it makes long field goals harder when you have a narrower goal post. that's a terrible suggestion

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.

I was pissed when they effectively took away kickoffs now this

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.

but that's not the issue here. if you want to make extra points harder, do it, but don't change another aspect of the game just to fix one aspect

I know sports evolve all the time, but at this rate, NFL football will become barely recognizable.

I may be in the minority, but I actually like this.
