I think they should just leave it alone. If it aint broke...

Eventually kickers will be useless Lol they'll come up with some crap like automatically starting at the 20 & no more awesome kick returns

Again.

Eliminating the PAT's will not eliminate commercials. They are paid for and aren't going anywhere......

I'm OK with this, speeds up the game a bit and reduces injuries on a borderline pointless play.

Yea really sure eliminate extra point and while you're at it... Take away pads and give them flag belts

Eliminate PATs and force 2pt conversions all the time, that's how you add thrills to the game.

I think it's really less about adding thrills/excitement and more about mitigating things that are boring. ie you don't replace something relatively mundane with something riskier, that's not the purpose.

Kind of like the ideas last offseason floated about removing kickoffs. The intent was to replace them with a 4th and goal at a distance that is converted roughly as commonly as an onside recovery, something like a 4th and 17. The goal was to remove a play from the game that disproportionately injuring players, rather than to change the excitement/whatever level.

increase the distance by 10-15 yards. wind/weather would then play more of a factor, which would likely increase 2pt attempts.
I dont want to see it go. Getting rid of PATs will kill some drama in crucial/clutch situations. tieing or winning a game with a PAT at the end of regulation still has some drama to it.

Something like this, I agree. I don't want it to go away. It won't increase game time much because the commercial break is after the PAT so all we're doing is eliminating the time it takes to make a PAT. 1 minute we'll say? haha, what's a minute?

Re: Sports Daily: Should the NFL Look at Elminating PATs?

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.

[tbook24]

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

I wouldn't miss them.

Re: Sports Daily: Should the NFL Look at Elminating PATs?

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

Re: Sports Daily: Should the NFL Look at Elminating PATs?

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
