The PAT isn’t the story or character-building. It’s that useless extra paragraph or two that makes you wonder why the editor apparently zoned out.
lol
The PAT is pretty much a waste of time. I think they can get rid of it and just go with the 2 pt conversion from the 4 yd line, and it would be a better game. I don’t particularly care for any tie-breaker rule I’ve ever seen, so the 2PAT might keep ties from happening. I believe I’ve read someplace that the 2 pt has about a 40% success rate.
It will make the kicker a little less significant, but the truth is that it’s the field goals that make a difference. And Prater on kickoffs the other night simply didn’t give the return specialist a chance. Awesome leg.
I would also limit the number of 4th down punts per half to 4. I hate it when they’re on their own 40 with 4th and inches and they punt. Man up...go for it!
