Getting rid of the PAT?

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

Tell that to Goodell. The risk of injury is at the root of this proposal. Plus, not having a PAT gives replay officials more time to review the scoring play. That's not a good reason for eliminating the PAT either.

Just move kicks back to the 18 yl, it shouldn't be eliminated outright. The strategery is a good part of the game.

That's not a bad thing.

Fair enough. The PAT in its current state could use a little more excitement though, whatever that proposal may be.

I can't wrap my mind around how a PAT is dangerous ... but a 45 yard FG attempt is not?

And how going for the "8th" point is any safer?

The court system and rulings on brain damage have this fucker running scared.

I think we should get rid of kicking entirely. Kicking is for pussies. Make teams man up ChipKellyTuff and go for it.

Instead of PATs, we should have both coaches try to hit the uprights from 40 yards. Sark for MVP.

Get rid of hard helmets. Far too many concussions, especially in the NFL president's office.

Would it be an automatic 1 unless you opt to try for 2? If not, this is stupid as it fucks the math up.

Yes.

You get 7 points straight up.

If you choose, you can go for 1 point by passing or running for it.

If you fail, you drop to 6 points.

Totally fucking stupid.

You never take points off the board. So few if any teams would go for the extra 1 point ...

this of course accomplishes the safety aspect ...
