FalconFanSince1969 Posted May 19, 2015 Share Posted May 19, 2015 Extra-point attempts have been moved from the two- to 15-yard line, though two-point conversions will continue to take place from the two-yard line.That means PATs will now be 33 yards instead of 20. It's a drastic change, not one everyone was necessarily asking for. There will now be big games decided by missed extra points. The league also implemented another rule change, awarding two points for botched PATs or two-point conversions that are returned for a score by the defense. That rule was already employed by the NCAA. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kingslasher Posted May 19, 2015 Share Posted May 19, 2015 Not all Goodell is it? I'm sure the rules committee and owners have some say too. The automatic xp was getting old anyway. DatWerkk and blizzard_falcon 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WOR Posted May 19, 2015 Share Posted May 19, 2015 Im not sure how making every play matter makes the game worse? Noting is given. Everything is earned. Pretty much sums up the attitude of the NFL. If thats true, why should we basically "give" away points? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

etherdome Posted May 19, 2015 Share Posted May 19, 2015 They should have moved the extra point further away. I want teams to earn their score. By far, the most boring play of any football game is the extra point kick. Move it back further and force teams to judge the risks and benefits of going for two.

HASHBROWN3 Posted May 19, 2015 Share Posted May 19, 2015 So at what point does the nfl turn this game into a Fing joke. Lets say we make one drastic change each year until it ain't football anymore. I used to stick up for Goodell but I am growing sick of this man... The national panzy league is coming to a theatre near you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
