Yes.

[DW711]

Extra point..fine, field goals, no.

I'd rather add a degree of difficulty. Go back to the drop kick or add some extra cross bars or something.

If you abolish the XP, are teams forced to go for 2 every time? I like the whole "should we go for 2" scenarios in the 3rd quarter.

Yes, remove it. Force teams to go for 2 at all times

It says in the article that you can still go for 2, but if you don't make it you lose a point.

Losing a point is dumb.

 

If they want to make it interesting, they can go for two from the 1 yard line or kick a 37 yard XP with the ball at the 20. If the XP is missed, opponent gets the ball at the 20 (no kickoff). If conversion is made, there is a kickoff. If 2pt conversion attempt fails, you still kickoff. Only a missed 37 yard XP would eliminate a kickoff.

Technically they lose a point now because the extra point is almost automatic. So it keeps it the same.

Option three is the smarterest choice.

I'd keep the extra point, but I like xbooms idea of making it more challenging.

This is one thing that the late World Football League had right, IMO. A touchdown was worth seven points, which meant that it was worth more than two field goals, and after every touchdown a team tried for an "action point", which they had to run or pass for from the 2 1/2 yard line.
