I think we should get rid of the kick off. It's too dangerous of a play. That one kid from Rutgers got paralyzed on a kick off.

If you eliminate the PAT, Romo can't fuck up handling the ball and costing his team the game.

In all seriousness, a PAT is not automatic. It has a high success rate, but kickers still manage to fuck them up or have them blocked. Plus, a team should be able to line up for a PAT and fake it to try to get a 2-point conversion.

Just because Gronk broke his arm doesn't mean it should be eliminated.

Get rid of the holder on PATs and FGs and make them all drop kicks

Fucking Christ.

Here's a thought ... don't put your MVP in the fucking line up for a PAT ...

And what kind of fucking fucktard gets hurt on a PAT ...

I would be willing to bet more fake PAT's occur than injuries blocking for the PAT kick.

Question:

Is someone more likely to get hurt blocking for a PAT ... or going for the elusive 8th point?

Fucktarded argument. Fucktarded suggestion.

If it is an automatic, then make it more dramatic ... like say moving the PAT back to the 10 yard line and put on the left or right hash mark.

I do LOL that the kicker is worried he will no longer be needed.

I don't think it's about injury though, just that it's become a meaningless play when 99.6% of PATs are good.

No, Goodell wants to make the game "safer". While, I'm all for minimizing helmet-to-helmet hits, I think eliminating a facet of the game is foolish. Players are going to get hurt. Whether it's on a halfback dive, getting drilled by Wes Welker, or on a "meaningless" PAT.

goodell is just keeping himself busy for the off season, if he was serious about safety he'd eliminate the kickoff, running plays, passing plays, tackling

Players rarely get hurt on a PAT though. The defenders don't even rush half the time.
