    NFL eliminates unnecessary PATs, two-point conversions after walk-off touchdowns


    Say goodbye to awkward extra points and half-hearted kneel downs that come after walk-off touchdowns. At the annual league meetings this week, the NFL eliminated PATs and two-point conversions that were required after game-winning touchdowns scored with no time remaining. Finally, games will simply end after walk-off touchdowns.

    One of the great turning points in sports history...

    I feel lucky to have had it happen in my lifetime.

            It took them 75 years to figure out. Good riddance. Now they need to get rid of OT in regular season and allow ties.

                It’s about time.

                I don’t like it, but I hear kickoffs are on the chopping block.

                  This is actually a good idea, but unlikely to happen though.

                              If you take this lag time away, I guess i'll start urinating in my empty bottles. No other good time for that!

                                This is terrible. How many times did you need that extra point
                                to push or cover ? It's part of the TD. Removing this is wrong.

                                  Linemakers will adjust. They always do.

                                    Exactly. And not much adjusting needed really.

                                      I was kinda laughing to myself wondering how many bets were decided in this fashion in the past 10 years. Not many, although those are always the ones you remember.

                                        What difference does it make if the team is just going to kneel on it anyways?

                                          Should be an extra point for kicking through uprights on kickoff when declared, misses result in other team starting at their own 40.

                                              They did a study and concluded it would make zero difference... The kick off it a quintessential way to start the game.
