    IMO the goal post are just fine. I think they are the same width as the hashtags.

    For those who go to live games one of the first things you notice is the post are not nearly as wide as it looks on TV.

    For those who want to bring up the old days the goal post were ten yards closer.

    You can also bring in the difference between kicking indoors and outside. There are more domed stadiums now that there use to be so the weather done effect the kick as much.

    The kickers are a lot better athletes than in the past so that accounts for the percentages being up too.

    Boomstick is one of the best athletes on the club.

    These are all excellent points . The kickers used to be straight on style rather than soccer style as well.

    The NFL must think that my point has some credence or they wouldn't have experimented with the idea in the pro bowl . I know kicking isn't the lodestone of the game but it has become more dominant than it was in earlier years . The kicking will continue to get better and I don't want the game to turn into field goal contests .

     

  2. I think it would make the game more exciting as well as interesting . If you enjoy watching field goals that's fine. 

    Where does it stop . 70yds.? It's like tigerizing the Masters or lowering the pitchers mound in the major's. (they lowered the mound years ago because the scoring was so low .) Narrowing the goals would make it a lot tougher on the coaches to simply trot a kicker onto the field if they might give up great field position . 

    As far as Adam V. is concerned , I think the guy is great , phenomenal but no kicker wants a rule that would make their job tougher .
