    NFL competition committee is discussing a 42 yard extra point. Thoughts? Well my question is why 42? I also understand trying to think out of the box and make the extra point more difficult and increase coaching strategy but I think they need to leave the game alone. Want to make the game more competitive, let the D play!!! What if you want to fake the EP and go for 2 with a fake FG, can't really do that from the 25 yard line!

    It's 42 yards because the ball would be lined up on the 25 yard line.

    It kind of makes sense, but I hate all the changes Goodell is trying to enforce.

    I think we should change the name of the game.

    Why not call it sarcasaball?

    Better than just totally eliminating it. I'd rather just keep it the way it is though.

    I have said this before. The only change I would like to see in the game is one that was used in the pro bowl. Inside 2 minutes of each half, positive yardage must be gained or the clock stops. Forces 60 minutes of football. I would be all for that. Have always said the kneel down should be outlawed. lol

    I miss real football...you know when you could hit the QB and cb's were allowed to cover receivers. Oh, well are there any hot female tennis players now....

    I didn't watch the pro bowl, so basically a sack would result in a clock stoppage inside two minutes? That used to be the rule about ten years ago, then the league realized that a sack was partially penalizing the defense because the offense had time to regroup.

    Do not like.

    A sack, run for loss, kneel down stopped the clock. Let the offense regroup. Atleast they still have to play football. I would love to watch a game when the D has no timeouts, down by 3 and 2 minutes to go. Still a glimmer of life. And the offense still has to play to win. I am all for leaving the game alone. Just saying, if they wanna change the game, there are better alternatives than messing with the extra point.
