re: NFL Will Consider Rule Allowing Extra Point Try from 50 After 2 Point Conversion

If the NFL adopts an odd rule proposal from the Colts, a nine-point game will be a one-possession game.
The Colts will propose a new rule at next week’s league meeting that would allow teams to try for a “bonus point” after a successful two-point conversion. So if a team lines up for a two-point conversion attempt and succeeds, that team would then line up at the 32-yard line and try a 50-yard field goal. If the kick is good, the team would get one point, for a total of nine points on the possession: six on the touchdown, two on the conversion and one on the bonus kick.
The proposal is, for now, just to try the rule during the preseason. If it’s successful in the preseason, in the future it could be considered in the regular season. It’s not unusual for the league to try out new rules in the preseason; last year the league experimented with making extra points harder in preseason games.
If true you would HAVE to try this every single time early in games. There are situations at the end of games where it may not make sense, and obviously situations where you would need it, but the odds would be WAY too good to pass up early.

Dumbest. Idea. Ever.
Next will be the possibility of going for 4 from the 30.
