Sports Daily: Should the NFL Look at Elminating PATs?

[Yeah...THAT Guy]

If they're going to get rid of the PAT, I'd rather them do something different like trying to score from the 5 yard line is a 1 point conversion and trying to score from the 10 is a 2 point conversion or something. Just giving them the PAT instead of them having to actually kick the PAT doesn't do anything for me personally.

I hated this idea at first but the more I think about it I like it. The PAT is by far the most boring play in football. As long as kickers can make Field Goals they will always be important especially how many games come down to one.

i'm not for eliminating the PAT. If you want to speed things up eliminate the extra timeouts that are not called by teams

[snepp]

I wouldn't miss them.

I'd be fine with giving the 7 automatically with an option of attempting for 2 which if failed still gives 6.

[DaImmaculateONe]

option A: move the pat to the 20 yard line

option B: xfl method everything is worth 6 and you have to go for 2. none of that you lose pts crap

PATs commercial breaks are annoying.

After a TD:
Game goes to commercial,then game returns and PAT happens,then game goes to commercial, then game returns and kickoff happens,then game goes to commercial.

So in like a 6 min timespan after a TD is scored,5 is spent on commercials. They should just have the TD, go to commercial,return and have the kickoff and just continue on until the end of that drive. So each drive happens without any commercial break(unless an injury or timeout occur) and we have just 1 commercial break inbetween drives and not 3-4 mini ones.

I don't think the commercial break we get back will be noticeable and is a really silly point to fixate on.

Entertaining suggestion from a local radio guy that won't happen... whoever scores should have to kick the XP
