NFL passes competition committee proposal on PAT, moving kicks back to the 15. LOS for 2-pointers is still the 2, D can now score on them.

Great might as well move the goalposts and widen the field and add 3-4 CFL teams in expansion. Why can't they just leave the damn game alone and count their $$$ 🤬

Here's another one:
3: Weather is now a much bigger factor.

And one more:
4: Players are gonna start taking more shots at kickers during returns and whatnot.

The only teams going for 2 this year will be new England and Seattle, and I will be jealous as hell because our coach has his tail tucked between his legs.

Packers were 1 for 3 last year and only 2-11 from 2010 - 2014 (they did go 3-5 in 2009).

With a split like that, you don't start going for 2 willy-nilly unless it's the second half and it's a situational decision based on score or if you're just well behind. Unless the Packers can prove they can get the two >50% of the time in which case go for it until you hit the middle of the fourth quarter in which case again, situationally.

I would assume that the success rate for a 32-yard field goal/new extra point would go up. Kickers have a set distance, in the center of the field to practice repeatedly. Less room for error kicking that much further away but I still think we won't see many teams going for a ton of 2 point conversions (unless they're way behind).

If you're not good at something, doing something different that you're much better at (even if it doesn't get you QUITE as many points as when you succeed) isn't "lacking balls" as some people put it. Every situation should have a cost-benefit analysis. If it's the fourth quarter and that one extra point gets you up by another possession, absolutely. If it's the 2nd quarter and it's 7-6 after you scored a TD, if your team is really good at 2 pointers, sure go for two. If you suck at 2 pointers, take the high-percentage point.

Mucky Tundra (9m) : @AaronNagler · 2m Both Jordan Love and Malik Willis were Limited participants at Packers practice today.

Zero2Cool (2h) : Johnson didn't make it until 2020. Ring 2023. 🤷 Personally, he should have been in years prior to Hall.

Zero2Cool (2h) : HUMP DAY

beast (3h) : Guys that have a good shot at making the NFL Hall of Fame usually get into their teams pretty fast

beast (3h) : Yeah, but is Kampman and the others in the NFL Hall of Fame?

Zero2Cool (3h) : Johnson was Hall of Fame, 2020. Should haev been in Ring a year later, not three years.

Zero2Cool (3h) : I could be wrong there though

Zero2Cool (3h) : Guys like Kampman, Tim Harris, Al Harris, etc all over 15 years. Hall of Fame is 5 year wait

Zero2Cool (3h) : I guess I see players in Packers Hall come way later

beast (3h) : Yeah, usually teams hall of fames are a much lower bar than the NFL

Zero2Cool (3h) : is it uncommon for Hall before Ring?

Zero2Cool (5h) : Yeah, he's in the ring of honor, just saw video and his name is up there

Zero2Cool (5h) : Didn't they have a thing in 2023 for Jimmy's ring of honor? I swear I saw it

beast (5h) : Though if they're legitimately trying to re-sign MM, then it makes sense.

beast (5h) : Jerry Jones still hasn't put Jimmy Johnson in the Ring of Honor, but he's in the NFL's Hall of Fame, Jones is petty

Mucky Tundra (17h) : Unless the Cowboys are planning an extension, seems kinda petty

beast (19h) : Cowboys denied Bears request

Mucky Tundra (6-Jan) : From what I'm reading, MM is under contract through the 14th of January; after that he's free game

Zero2Cool (6-Jan) : McCarthy let go or not extended??

Mucky Tundra (6-Jan) : Chicago Bears have asked the Dallas Cowboys permission to interview Mike McCarthy for head coaching vacancy

Zero2Cool (6-Jan) : The winners page that is

Zero2Cool (6-Jan) : I was not hoping for that. It messes up the page lol

beast (6-Jan) : Thank you, and I was really opening we were going to get 4 or more tied for the top 3.

beast (6-Jan) : Thank you, and I was really opening we were going to get 4 or more tied for the top 3

Zero2Cool (6-Jan) : congrats beast on 2024 !

Zero2Cool (6-Jan) : congrats porky on winning 2023 pick'em! (oops sorry)

Mucky Tundra (6-Jan) : That might be it for the Vikings

Mucky Tundra (6-Jan) : Oh so the refs do know what intentional grounding is

Mucky Tundra (6-Jan) : what the hell was that Goff?! Not much pressure and he just air mails it to Harrison

Mucky Tundra (6-Jan) : They really need to to get rid of the auto first down for illegal contact

Martha Careful (6-Jan) : watching the Vikings and Lions it's understandable why they swept the Packers. So much better product

Mucky Tundra (6-Jan) : Even when GB got pressure he was throwing darts; vs no pressure on that last pass he just air mails an open guy

Zero2Cool (6-Jan) : didn't have guys in his face ... pressure makes difference

Mucky Tundra (6-Jan) : Where was this Darnold vs GB?

Mucky Tundra (6-Jan) : BALL DON'T LIE

Mucky Tundra (6-Jan) : how was that not a safety? Goff throws it at an offensive lineman

Mucky Tundra (6-Jan) : Zero, I thought that was a given! ;)

Mucky Tundra (6-Jan) : Zero I looked through earlier and noticed the same thing. Bonkers year. I just wonder if beast put any money on games

Zero2Cool (6-Jan) : I'm hoping for BLOODBATH. Pummel one another.

Zero2Cool (6-Jan) : 8 people in pick'em would have won any year with their total lol
