NFL Owners Vote To Move Extra-Point Kicks To 15-Yard Line

SMDH. It's his foot, dumbass, or partial lack of one, not his name that mattered.

Yes, touby...

...only to fools like you would his handicap matter more to his identity than his actual name.

Eeyore, sometimes you are the most clueless motherfucker on this board. Of course his handicap mattered more than his name, in the context in which he was brought up in the thread. I doubt most people reading this thread even know his name still, except for the first four letters.

...right, touby?

Then why would the record book primarily only list his name as a sharer of his accomplishment with 3 other names...

...rather than his footnote handicap you chose to fixate on and now inanely attempt to make a superior identifier?

You stupid fucker, why do you think Wat Tyler brought him up in this thread? It had zero to do with any record he once held, dumbass. It was obviously because of his handicap.
 
If the scoring team elects for a two point conversion, where is the ball placed?
 
So, you're lining up for the conversion and boom, the defense goes offside. Then you elect to go half the distance from the two and then false start, so then you elect to go back to the conversion?

This is whackadoodle...

That wouldn't be going back to the conversion. The way you described it they lined up for a conversion each time.
 
Once again, even with something as innocuous as sports banter, you never even enter the conversation, you just continue to be the secular TIMMAH! Tebow of Lit...

And instead of reading and responding to what I wrote you cowardly made a personal attack.

If it were fourth and goal from the two and the same sequence of events you described occurred a team would probably elect out of a prior decision to try a running/passing play for a touchdown, the yardage needed having changed drastically, and would then most likely have a change of mind and elect instead to kick the ball for a field goal, right? So electing out of going for two points from the five and a half in an extra point situation under similar circumstances and deciding instead to kick for one and lining up at the fifteen instead would make the same kind of sense, right?
 
all this is about is more points for fantasy. That and keeping people glued to the seats because the xtra point is no longer a gimme.

Again this is Goodell and the owners watering down the 'integrity' of the game by taking something that's been the same since pretty much day one and changing to it benefit the fantasy leagues that are pumping almost as much money into the leagues as the TV contract.

In every sport there are some basic things that should never be changed, this was one of them. I wonder what's next? Eliminating field goals so it will all be touch downs and over rated modern QB's like Manning and Brady and Rogers can get more over inflated numbers(and pad fantasy stats)

Oh, wait they are trying that with narrowing the goal posts to make coaches go for it more on fourth down rather than try a long field goal which will now be harder.

If you're a long time football fan this game is becoming a damn joke.

Tell me again why you should reward teams that can only get field goals while punishing the teams that get into the end zone?

The purpose of football is not to kick field goals but to shove the ball down the length of the field.

You miss an extra point and it's the same as getting two field goals.


two people who clearly have no idea what they're talking about. btw, when american football first started field goals were good for 5 points. touchdowns? 2 points. conversions? well, they were worth four. shit changes, gentlemen. get over it.

No.

None of this makes makes any sense at all.

A much simpler solution would have been to make the two-point try mandatory.

I disagree. Making the two point try mandatory would mean a single false start or any penalty of five yards or more against the team that just scored would make it unlikely their extra point try would succeed. It's tough to score from the six or seven yard line on one play, unless it's a kick.
 
It's been reported that kickers made 99.3% of all PAT kicks during the regular season last year but have only made 93.3% of such kicks during the preseason this year. Just something to take note of, because that's a huge difference, and such a difference is apparently due to the new rule change on extra point kicks. Of course the preseason ain't the regular season, and the percentage of successful kicks may change when the kicks actually count, but I doubt the percentage will change to anything close to last year's regular season level. I'm pretty sure it will be no more than 95%, probably less. We shall see.
 
Nine extra point kicks were missed in yesterday's NFL games alone. A total of eight were missed all of last season.
 
You should watch Pittsburgh's games. They go for two a lot now, and they're good at it.

I love the Steelers. Unfortunately Atlanta hasn't had a pro football team for almost 50 years.
