Should they move foul shots back 3 feet ? Missed PAT forced 2pt attempt. Lose out on potential AFC championship OT
New extra point rule is huge factor in first year !

I can't wait until a team misses a PAT in the final minute of a playoff game that would have tied it up
I agreed with the new rule. The PAT was the most pointless part of any sport. It was like awarding points for not stepping on your wiener while peeing.
When the PAT is unseccessful 20% of the time, then we can compare it to free throws in basketball.

I like the new rule because it should tempt a team to go for two, which makes the game more interesting when a team chooses to do so...... In fact, I would not have minded if they made the extra point kick a bit further out to further encourage the two pointer......
The old extra point kick was almost an after thought for the game..... It is not a bad thing when the failure of the kick causes the game to be altered as it was yesterday.

they should do more with the kicking game.
for a 2 pt conversion leave the current 2 pt rule but give an option for a 50 yd kick as well.
for kickoffs, give an option to kick off from your own 20 or 25. If your kicker can make a field goal from 75+ yds away then your team is awarded a point and the receiving team gets the ball at their own 20. But if your kicker is short on the kick then the receiving team may be taking the kickoff from their own 5 or 10 yd line and be able to run it back to the 30 or so which would be the risk for going for the bonus point.

Free throws and extra points are not comparable. Free throws are a penalty against the defense for committing a foul. Making free throws more difficult will only encourage teams to foul more.
