Kickers are becoming TOO GOOD and some are starting to consistently hitting 60+ yarders.

In my opinion, they need to make kickers less important to games. Either (and I do like this first option as much) making FGs worth only 2 points, (or my perfence) make the FG more narrow.

or just dont change anything at all. It's a staple part of the game.

I say you play one quarter of OT. If tied at end of that "5th" quarter, you have FG-off starting at 50 yarders. First one to make when other misses wins.

I'm not getting rid of it, and I would love to get the real kickoffs backs, as it's part of the game.

With all the reals favorite the offenses and scoring going crazy, limited the FGs a bit, and in 2015, they changed the FGs from 18.5 feet down to 14 feet for the Pro-Bowl game. It's not changing the game, just making it even tougher for the kickers have become too good.



So making them even more important? Honestly I don't hate the idea, but make the goal post more narrow.

My preference would be for OT, no extra quarters, but instead you go to a shoot out style 2 point play contest like a point after touchdown.

Where both teams get 3 to 5 chances, and if they're still tied after that, then each team gets one turn, until they're no longer tied.


But basically, you have one play, to get the ball in, multiple times.

i bet you weren't thinking that a few years ago lol

If the starters can't break the tie in 75 minutes, yes. And if it means never seeing a tie score again, yes.

I'm also in favor of your two point play try. Reminds me of what I think I see in college.

The college system is terrific, but the NFL has to much ego and a NIH syndrome so they will never adapt.

Agree, but they should be willing to do something similar but with a key difference to the point they can claim they where the first to bring it to football 🏈



Yeah, except I believe College is full drives starting at the other teams 25 hard line.

I want something more like a shootout, where you have one play to go _x_ amount of yards to get in the end zone.

And like, start with each team gets 3 to 5 chances start... if they're still tied, then then each team keeps getting one extra until they're no longer tied.


And while we're at it, I'm not sure an Overtime Results should give you a full win or full loss.

Let's say a team is 4-2 and then has their next game.

A regular timed win would make them 5-2, a regular time loss would make them 4-3 and a tie would make them 4.5 - 2.5.

I'm thinking an over time result should only count partly.

Like with an over time win, they would be 4.75 - 2.25
Meanwhile an overtime loss would be 4.25 - 2.75


That way two over time wins (1.5) would equal a full regular time win and a tie. (1.5). Note, I'm theory, ties could made to be extremely hard or after five attempts if both teams are still tied, or maybe you keep going until there is a winner.

I just think there should be some reward, for beating the other team in regular time instead of taking it to overtime, and this MIGHT lead to more teams going for two to win the game in regular time instead of taking the tie into overtime, which would be more exciting.
