Seriously, Roger Goodell?
I guess I could live with the idea of doing away with the extra point kick and just make a touchdown worth 7 pts.
But this idea to let them run/pass for an 8th. point, but take a point away from them if they fail is insane.
Isn’t picking point spreads hard enough? This will not go over well with the bookmakers. Try this and you might find yourself sleeping with the fishes.
The NFL exists for betting and drinking.
This would make one of them harder.
Not saying I agree with the idea, but it does codify what the situation pretty much is in reality. A PAT is about as "automatic" as it can get (fails less than 0.5% of the time), so just treat it as automatic unless the team wants to try for 2.
The net result will be pretty much the same.
