re: NFL considering abolishing extra points

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.

IF you take the extra point out, that changes nothing of what you said. not even one bit. The EP is already viewed as automatic, so how could it change?

But very few are proposing to "just make it automatic." most of these suggestions involve some sort of play, an option for easier 2 point conversions, etc.

You are correct if you either just make it an automatic 7 OR just increase the length, then yeah nothing would change and that's good. But that isn't the proposition.
