I think most teams would just go for it in that situation and a lot of them do nowadays anyways. 4th and 5 on the 35 is sort of that grey area where you can go for it and have a chance at a TD or a better FG. If you fail to convert then the opposing team still has a decent ways to go to score.

I don't like it. I've heard the eliminating FG's idea tossed around before, but it's one of those things to me that it's a part of the game. I don't see any reason to change it. I like having FG's and having a chance to score without actually getting a TD. I've seen a lot of games where FG's are the only points that are scored in a game.
