I'm for anything that reduces the need for kickers.

That's not the answer. Narrow the goal posts a little bit and move the XP back. Kickers are making everything it seems.

Make the holder use two jars of Vaseline before the snap...

I'd rather see them not award the 7th point. TD is 6 and teams have the option to go for 2.  Teams would of course always go for 2, but they won't all get it.

OK fine.  As long as they also do something for the fans and eliminate the TV timeout after the PAT followed by the time out after the kick off.  Just pick one or the other!

Goodell is slowly starting to push me away from the game I played and loved growing up. The NFL was perfect before Goodell laid his hands on it.

I'd be for that. The only thing is those 3pt 40 - 50+ yrd field goals with an AFL type goal would be extremely difficult.

Not happy with the idea.  At all.  It's a fundamental change.  They already almost eliminated the kickoff.  Rule changes are bad enough.  Simply removing parts of the game is a problem though.  After this they will remove the punt probably.You don't change the basic structure of a sport.

99.6 conversion rate. Who the hell cares.  Less kickers in football the better. The proposal allows for 2 point conversions where you risk the 7th point to get the 8th.

and i'm perfectly fine with that!

They should move it back a long way. Where its 50-50 the kicker can hit it.

Why mess with the game when it is good as is?  I mean, all the tweaks are annoying, and bog the "natural" process of the game down.Keep the game the way it is!  Jesus!

The conversion rate is so high it isn't a play. It is perfunctory. You actually would have a higher failure rate on handoffs than PAT's that is how bad it is.

I can go for this, although it means I see the kicker more, as opposed to what we have now. It either needs to have some drama or just be gone.
