Guest ChrisHarvard Posted August 25, 2014 Report Share Posted August 25, 2014 Are they still kicking the standard point after attempt FG this season? The league messing around with this is going to make the NFL unbettable and unbeatable. Are they going to decide PAT's based on length of kick? 20 yds- 1 point 30 yds- 2 points 35 yds- 3 points That's a joke, but shit, might as well.

jimmythegreek Posted August 25, 2014 Report Share Posted August 25, 2014 Probably go back to standardizing snap from the 3 and being a chippie 20. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ChrisHarvard Posted August 25, 2014 Report Share Posted August 25, 2014 The idea is a TD is worth 2 FG's plus 1 point. If they take away the easy extra 1 point and make it a 50/50 then we will see a lot more FGs on 4th downs. Which is bogus. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theguesser Posted August 25, 2014 Report Share Posted August 25, 2014 They already did in week 3 of exhibitions, and in regular season 2014 it will be as it's always been, from the 3. . Based on the feedback of the longer PAT in weeks 1 and 2, they might change the rule in 2015. Feedback generally was positive, unlike the other shit the NFL did in the exhibitions.

[/quote'] yeah I don't mind this too much, the XP , can'y say the same for the 'illegal contact' BS that they're going to the extreme on. Don't see the productivity in this..is already an overly passing league as it is, in my opinion. Maybe the younger generation needs to have their buttons pushed constantly and see big plays and arena -style football scores,..which wouldn't surprise me. Also they need to start putting more FG kickers and punters in the hall-of-fame, maybe especially even more nowif they implement the 30 yard XP in 2015 and in the future. The kicking game is has always been extremely important part of the game, especially since the number of plays has been decreased from line of scrimmage had been decreased in the NFL, for quite a while now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Easygoer45 Posted August 26, 2014 Report Share Posted August 26, 2014 I liked the longer PAT's in the first 2 weeks of preseason, they should kick from the 30 for 1 point all season long. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bucky Posted August 26, 2014 Report Share Posted August 26, 2014 I don't like the 1,2,3 points thing but have not problem with moving the kick back 10 yards and the go for 2 at the 3. Might make for fund with a fake at the 13 and go for 2??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, TD celebration penalties will seriously threaten the XP, which could act as a deterrent to end zone antics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

plommer Posted August 26, 2014 Report Share Posted August 26, 2014 What would be a good distance to settle on? Seriously? I think making them kick from the 30 yd line would be awesome. Makes it interesting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would also like to see a penalty for players calling for a penalty by using the flag throwing motion. It is a penalty in the CFL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bucky Posted August 26, 2014 Report Share Posted August 26, 2014 I'm ok with the 30 - place the ball at the 23? What about 2 point attempts? Where do we put the ball for them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hedge Posted August 27, 2014 Report Share Posted August 27, 2014 I'm ok with the 30 - place the ball at the 23? What about 2 point attempts? Where do we put the ball for them? IMO, the 5 yard line. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tripp Posted August 27, 2014 Report Share Posted August 27, 2014 I like the longer PATs. As Belicheck kept arguing the point was not to be a free point with no competitive purpose to it. If that is the case just make the TD worth 7 and you can choose to go for 2 if you want and risk the 7th point. But the point should be easy enough but not a 99% gimmie I'll be shocked if the longer PAT's aren't implemented for the start of the 2015 season. The audition this preseason went well, was well received and should be the standard starting next year Change is good gentlemen. Embrace it.

Betmonkey Posted August 27, 2014 Report Share Posted August 27, 2014 If the NFL thinks the extra point is too easy then just make all TD's worth 7pts and be done with them...messing with the length makes no sense. make a extra pt longer and you could have a team kick a 3pt FG that is closer than the 1pt extra pt?

Not sure I agree with the argument because some field goals are already as short as XPs. But I agree if there is no change in distance, then just add the XP to each TD automatically.

This is sort of my point also. A TD is supposed to be worth (2) FGS + 1 point. If you take away the seemingly easy 1 point, than a TD potentially only equals (2) FGs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest ChrisHarvard Posted September 8, 2014 Report Share Posted September 8, 2014 I think the Washington game was a great example that everything is FINE. Not in Washington, but with the PATs. http://www.nfl.com/videos/nfl-game-highlights/0ap3000000390412/J-J-Watt-PAT-block Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
