NFL Extra Point and Two-Point Conversion Changes

[BarkingToad]

Don't like these changes, hard enough to handicap games.

Teams that score late and go up 1 will take a knee. If they don't, the blocked extra point can be returned for 2pts.


Take the dogs next year.

Interesting thought, but I think that would be very rare. Teams don't kick PAT in this situation anyway, they go for 2. How likely is it to go for 2 and have it returned back. 1 in 10,000?

And what is your scenario? How much time? If there's anything more than maybe 7 seconds left then you are liable to lose if the opponent gets in field position. I might do as you suggest if I was down 5 and scored a TD to go up 1 with 4 seconds left. But seriously, how often does this happen? Practically never.

If you are up 1 I think you have to at least go for a conservative running play unless there is less than 5 seconds maybe.

I agree. It won't happen often. (If it happens twice all year it would be a miracle.) It would have to be very late in the game for them to take a knee rather than chance a run back. I guarantee Bilichick is the one that does it first.

More kicks will be blocked also

[Auto Donk]

just a new way to break gambling degenerates' hearts late in games

more missed pats, more coaches likely to go for 2 same thing everyone else said. im going to say 95% of pats get made, this is still a short kick from the middle of the field. guys like chip kelly might go for 2 off the first td, and i expect some coaches to go for 2 a bit earlier than they would have previously. id say this minimally favors the under

[slacker00]

I sorta like an alternative idea: move the point try up to the 1 or until teams start going for 2 instead.

[Wrigley]

still a 90% success rate but will make it a little funner
