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.

Doesn't seem far enough for the NFL. Should be a 55 yarder or more, IMO.

And if it's short, can the other team run it back?

You know how long it took to get the women I watch games with to understand the 1 pt try vs 2 pt try. Now you want to confuse them with this shite

Just a classic case of "If it ain't broke, don't fix it"

Your thread title is a little misleading

There should be a penalty if you miss the extra point after the successful two point try, though.
If you get two point try, you can kick for an extra point to make it nine, but if you miss that kick you drop back down to 6 or something.
But all around, just seems dumb and a classic case of messing with something that doesn't need fixing.

It's dumb but it would get incentive for teams to move away from the extra point, which is so dumb. That is what the NFL needs to address.

Ridiculous.

Why?
We can change this but have a screwed up OT policy

I like any scoring change that fricks with the odds makers in Vegas without overly changing the game.
This rule does that.

I don't like this idea much

Change for the sake of change is terrible.
Having said that, teams would go for 2 100% of the time with this rule in place.

No. This is dumb.
