re: Could YOU make an extra point kick with NO practice attempts...ONE SHOT AT IT

With OP stipulations, there's probably a 3% chance.
I know physically I'm capable of doing so. But I haven't attempted to kick a field goal in years. I would have to get the feel for it with placement, power, my approach, etc. Not to mention if I have to do that shite in front of 70,000+ screaming fans, there's almost a 100 chance that I will absolutely choke.
If I had time to do about 5 practice kicks, I'd say I would go about to about 35%
And this is for college XP. If we talking NFL length, likely a .03% of me making that.

Since I have to be honest, frick no. Not even a college extra point.

I kicked in high school, as a freshman, because no one else wanted to do it. toe balled it, and didn't miss one xtra point out of 12. 12-12
Some were ugly as frick, after hitting them with the toe ball shot.

Probably 1%. I’ll give myself a little bit of a chance. I haven’t tried to kick a field goal since I was a kid, and I always had trouble getting the ball into the air. I doubt that’s changed much since.

3.5 %
Posted on 7/29/21 at 4:05 pm to tbabino
i've never attempted a kick through goalposts in my life, so the percentage would be really freaking low.
as in it would be complete luck if i actually made it.
and that's in an empty lot somewhere with no line in front of me.

What do you think YOUR ODDS are of walking onto the field, full house of fans, and kicking an extra point???
If you mean a real game situation with every riding on it and 21 other dudes on the field of which 11 of them are coming at me...I'd bet against myself
Posted on 7/29/21 at 5:18 pm to tbabino
I’ll go somewhere between 33%-40%
I’ve kicked them before. They’re very makeable even if you suck at kicking. It’s FG’s at 35 yards and longer that are really difficult.
Most people would still shank it though.

I’ve literally never tried it before so it’s very doubtful
Posted on 7/29/21 at 5:47 pm to tbabino
I'd have a better chance to heave the ball blindly into the endzone for 2.

I've seen bros like you during halftime "win a scholarship" competitions.
10/10 of you fail to even get the ball off the ground.

80% of the time I could

an astro turf type field. yes.
grass. maybe not.
with no practice kick you better have kicked before. I have. but I'm 108 years old so maybe a hip goes.

When the Titans first came to Nashville they were the "Tennessee Oilers" and they played their games in half-filled Vanderbilt stadium, which was and still is one of the worst stadiums in college football, let alone the damn NFL.
Anyway, to gin up fan support they did all of these promotional activities, one of which was inviting some lucky fans to try and kick an extra point at halftime. The results were comical. Very few people made the kick. A lot of them never got off the ground. Two of my weekend warrior friends went out there drunk and made complete asses of themselves. It's harder than you think, unless you're a former soccer player or HS kicker who is still in reasonable shape.
