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

I think I'd have a good shot at it, as long as I hit it straight. Height and distance wouldn't be a problem.
I used to punt and kick during backyard games with friends, and my dad told me when I was about 13 that I should pursue kicking/punting toward making it an actual profession, based on how strong my leg already was.
I wish I had taken his advice, but I had too much pride to be known as a kicker. My astronomically high metabolic levels made it too difficult to gain enough weight to ever have a shot at anything else in football.
I haven't tried to kick a ball in probably 12 or 13 years, which is why I don't know if I would hit it straight, coming in with no practice attempts.

No practice attempts but I've been practicing and playing all year? I'd be confident to say I wouldn't miss. Not saying there's no way I would miss, just that I'd be confident.
Now if you're talking about peeling my arse off my recliner right this second and having to kick one in a game, I would have no confidence.
I played soccer well into my thirties and have a very strong leg, but kicking a football is different than kicking a soccer ball.

I give myself an 88% chance.. never tried, but an extra point doesn’t look hard at all.

Consider I have made zero in my life, probably not. Most on here would probably pull or tear a muscle

Standard XP...maybe 10% chance
But real talk, I could drop kick an XP Doug Flutie style 3/4 times. It’s a random useless talent, but I can drop kick a football with decent accuracy and range.

3 steps back, 2 to the left. Hang right foot up. Soccer style kick. 43.63%

I did it when we had arena football in Houma years ago but couldn't make it to the radio station during the week to pick up the prize package

Not a chance.
Posted on 7/30/21 at 12:30 am to tbabino
Probably now 65 percent.. If I get to kick in the net and warm up like they do. Probably 75 percent.. Would also rip my groin and couldn’t walk properly for a while after lol..

Against a live defense trying to block it? Zero chance

Xp is 33 yards in the nfl now baws.

barely get the ball in the air with absolutely no power off a peewee tee.
The height would be the problem for me. I’d probably drill it right up the left guard’s arse

I can make an NFL extra point no doubt. Not in a game, but just the holder and me? Yeah, no problem

House full of fans? Maybe 10% in my HS days, not in a million years now.
Posted on 7/30/21 at 8:29 am to tbabino
Probably not. Even if it was on target, it’d probably be too low and get blocked.
Posted on 7/30/21 at 12:51 pm to tbabino
No. It's probably take a week of practice till I had a 25 percent chance.

Silly answer: There's an 80% chance I'd hit one of the goal posts. I'd also land flat on my back.
Truthful answer: I haven't touched any kind of football in 10 years, so there's easily a 100% chance I'd miss it.
I was picking up limbs in my yard recently. Threw one across the ditch and the street, javelin style, and fell to the ground during my follow through. At nearly 62 years old, I no longer have any athletic skills.

It’s just an extra point. It shouldn’t be much of a problem. I feel as though I could probably hit from 40 yards 2 out of 10 times so an extra point would be a breeze.

Have you kicked before?
