Talk of removing extra point

I'm open to see the replacement of this idea I guess...but I'm too traditional of a football enthusiast to remove something, even something very small.

I will listen for the replacement idea, but I'm likely to sticking with the extra point kick after a touchdown.

Your thoughts?

Heard that today, and in our Fan group "Dresden Monarchs" there were many saying "keep it as it is", and no-one liked this idea

I agree with the Dresden Monarchs, keep it as it is

I thought that originally too. But then I read what they want to change it to, and I like it.

I say keep it as it is, yes they are boring most of the time but I remember the games where a PAT meant a win or a loss and it made a simple PAT the most intense part of the game.

Like pete, I'd also like to know what they would change it to. What is the article? Where did you read this?

Besides...what could they do, force a two point conversion after every touchdown?

So Goodell wonders if the league can add excitement by making some major adjustments to the extra point, suggesting perhaps making a touchdown worth seven points instead of six, with teams having the option to run a play for another point.

But failing on that play would cost them a point.

Ditching the PAT

I think Goodell just likes getting his name in the news.

No, not forcing it. As I understood you would get 7 points for the TD itself, and could opt in for a pass/rush for another point if you are successful, but if it fails the score falls back to 6...
