Thoughts On The Longer Point After Attempts?

[RockThatBlue]

Not sure I like it much. Worry a little more than usual seeing us kick one (even tho Vinateri is usually money)

[Bluefire4]

It's ok. I may change my mind if it cost us a game this year whether that is with Vinny missing or some team scoring a 2pt conversion on us. I think it's good because there are a lot of inconsistent kickers out there, which is why I'm so glad we have our HOF kicker.

I don't like it. It cheapens the proportions of a missed PAT. When you missed a PAT, it was an earth shattering event. Now it's just another play that should go as planned but might not like a run of 1st down or something.

It should be funny seeing Pete and Dale go for 2 in the SB when it's 20-20 with 1 second left though.

I think it was a silly rule change that did not require a change at all. Feels as if they changed the rule just for the sake of changing something before the season began.

Wish they had just gotten rid of it. Gives me time to hit the head and grab another beer I guess......

I don't mind it. Makes the point after a little more interesting. I think as the season progresses and the bad weather rolls into the cold weather cities you will see it have more of an effect. I also think we will see more two point conversions which are fun plays.

[oldunclemark]

I agree. I like it a lot.

Make every play a REAL play.....

..and encourage teams to go for '2'

The change puts more value on a consistent kicker and it sparks more difficult decision making..especially in bad weather

[OhioColtsGirl]

I think I kind of like the rule change. 

 

I think it will make the games more interesting with more teams going for a 2 pt conversion instead of a PAT. 

[LJpalmbeacher2]

I like it. It's not automatic anymore.

And it will be interesting in INCLEMENT WEATHER if coaches go for 2points or try a not as easy extra point!

[nnjcoltsman]

I like it.  It adds another level of true moderate difficulty, or in other words, not automatic.   I bet a lot more will be missed once the season starts.  Should make some interesting scores and strategies.

I like it. I think we will see a lot of 2pt tries in Pittsburgh in nov/dec

Yeah everybody's gonna like it til their team loses by one point on a missed PAT (not that it hasn't happened before) but its gonna be a bit more common than usual.

in my opinion the kick has moved back. therefore the kicker must kick the ball further

 

[aaron11]

i like it better than before.  the old rule was a waste of everyone's time.

 

i would have gotten rid of the kick all together and made it mandatory to go for two

 

that would have made things interesting

I agree. Instead of the PAT being almost automatic, it's at least a little more challenging.

[ColtRider]

The NFL got this right. Provides a much more interesting game. The PAT is no longer a non-viable play.
