Ok, the Colts are just trolling us now.

What's next? Make it, take it if the 2nd extra point is good, so the scoring team receives the kickoff?

I do agree they should move the xtpoint back to about the 20 yard line.

No need to tweak the scoring, if you want more interesting PAT's

Just make them kick the extra point (from the 5) behind where the ball crossed into the endzone. You'd have to possibly re-configure the offensive line rules, or the hash marks. If the score happened up the middle, no problem. If a WR squeaked in at the left pylon...then you better hope you have a left-footed kicker

What difference would that make? Drop the success rate from 99.6% to 98%? Plus it would take away the option for a fake 2-point conversion, not that I've ever seen one in the NFL.

New rule: The player who scored the TD is the only player who may kick the PAT.

Kinky. I like it. I'm off to Indianapolis's seediest back-alleys to put the bug in Irsay's ear. and by "bug" I mean this idea printed on an envelope full of oxycontin.

Change of plans: The "best" solution is so obvious now. The scoring player drop kicks the ball from directly behind where it crossed the plain. From the 11 for 1 point, from the 22 for 2.

You're welcome, Mr. Goddell.

 

[57stratdawg]

It would be more like 88%.

I think they should make extra points a drop kick instead of a place kick.

I wish NFL would adopt the old XFL rule for kickoffs. Put the ball in the middle of the field and have the best athletes line up opposite sides on the goal line and take off for the ball. That was awesome.

I'd rather just see there be no PAT.

Move the kickoff up 5 yards, and make it where it is returnable just like now, BUT if it goes through the uprights, then it's 1 pt and the receiving team takes over at the 20. Regular touchback rules still apply.

This would solve two problems: the relative ease of the PAT to where it is basically automatic now AND the safety concerns of kickoffs.

You will see touchbacks really increase because there is a greater incentive for at least trying to kick a touchback.

The Colts proposal will never pass. Moving the extra point kick back 10 yards might have a chance.

Let's go Canadian and bring in the rouge.

I would rather just say if on the kick off the ball goes through the goal post you get a extra point.
