I agree that the PAT should be scrapped, but why not in its place give the kicking team 1 point if the kickoff is not run back, ie goes into the end zone and not returnable, or the receiver doesnot return it. That would immediately add to the game action. The idea of a TD is now 7 pts makes sense too, since the PAT is routine.

If they want to eliminate something - eliminate the ‘break the plane’ for a touchdown. It’s called a TOUCHDOWN for a reason which means the ball has to be controlled and touched down for a score.

To increase the value of a touchdown, eliminate the PAT, make it a ‘try’ worth 2 points and make the field goal worth 2.

If they are thinking of scrapping things...scrap the two minute warning. There is no real game reason to have it now that official game time is no longer kept on the field.

College, high school and pee wee football do just fine without it.

A clear case of a solution seeking a problem. Just move the ball back 20 to 30 yards if they want to create more uncertainty.

How about this? Make the goal posts adjustable. Each time a team scores a field goal or PAT, narrow the width by 3 feet.

Just give them 3 points if they shoot out beyond the 25 foot touchdown arc......oops, got my tattooed up gangster thug, unmarried multiple baby daddy, druggie leagues mixed up again.

I like the Rollerball option:

1. No rules.
2. No substitutions.
3. No time limit.

Wait a minute, that's three rules, isn't it? Dang it, back to the drawing board.

Football would be much more exciting to watch if the field was completely covered with these:

Here is something they can try at the super bowl.

After a teem scores a touchdown, the kicker lines up at the fifty yard line and kicks Goodell square in the nuts.

One point if Goodell collapses, two points if he pukes on himself.
