So what are the opinions on 33 yard extra points? I just learned about that today.

I haven't watched any games yet, but I really like the idea. Makes that 1pt worth something, instead of a 99% certainty.

I also like that the 2pt conversion will gain more popularity, I believe we will see more of those now.


I like the idea of changing the current extra point rule, but moving it to the 33 may be too extreme. It will pretty much kill any fake plays and make point-after-touchdown plays way too easy to plan for on defense. The defense will always know whether a team will truly plan to kick or go for two.

Instead, the NFL should move the line of scrimmage to the 1-yard line on PAT plays to encourage more two point conversion attempts. That way, you get more interesting PAT plays throughout the game.
