I just watched the Chargers kicker miss his second extra point of the day. Kicking at the NFL level has become a major issue. 12 missed kicks so far in week 5.

Just curious, how many would love to see the kicking position eliminated from the game completely? Keep a punter and make teams go for two after every TD.

I'd be ok with the auto extra point unless you want to go for 2. As far as field goals go though, you accept the risk playing for them.

Not me. The changed the game so much you can’t compare it to what was being played in the sixties.
If you want a winning team (aka playoff and SB team) you need a franchise QB and build the team around him.
Brady threw for over 400 yards and five TDs today. You take away field goals and it is a race to 50 or 60 points.

Its part of the game, should we get rid of OL since we have such a hard time finding those as well?

Yeah, the defense would have to count “one thousand one, one thousand two, one thousand three” before they could rush the QB like we used to do on the play ground. Smile

I was upset when they moved it back.

all element of surprise for a creative 2 point conversion went out the door.
designed plays that caught the Defense unaware, broken plays, where the kicker threw to someone, etc. etc.

now they line up for one. or they line up for two. no element of surprise or creativity.

quit F-king with the game

The epidemic continues tonight with Blankenship. Just crazy

The GB/Bengals game too, but I'm Ok with having an alternate way to score on offense besides TDs. Teams with good kickers have a huge advantage over teams without.

It just seems to me that these guys fight it our for an entire football game and for the game to be decided by men who play almost zero is just frustrating. I would bet most players would be in favor of eliminating the kicking position and going with an alternative way of scoring
