I don't think there is a practical way to make that work in football though, due to the hashmarks down the centre of the field. As the respective lines of scrimmages need to locate themselves in play, the closest to the sideline a kicker could be kicking from is probably 10-15 yards into the field, away from the sideline?
I like the idea of toughening up the kicker's job though for "gimmie" kicks.

There were 1,293 TD last season. That comes out to an average of 40 per team which then translates to just 2.5 TD per game. That's it. Even in this era geared toward offense, it's hard to score a TD in this league. The PAT is a reward play for doing so. I don't give a crap if it is a gimme, you get rewarded for scoring a TD. I don't understand the charge to want to make the reward for success harder. It's an un-timed reward play, leave it the **** alone.

Yeah, it's called 6 pts. They put 'em up right there on the scoreboard after the TD. Check it out.
The reward for scoring a TD is six points. The extra point is an earned opportunity, doesn't mean it must be a gimme. If that's the case just make the TD an automatic 7.
Early on, that was one of the proposals. A TD would be worth 7 points, and if you wanted the extra point (for what is now a 2 pt. conversion), you could go for 1. Convert and you get the point, fail and you lose a point. I thought this was an intriguing idea, but obviously far removed from the almost automatic extra point kick we see today. It might have been too different at this point in time.

The reward for a touchdown is SIX POINTS and an OPPORTUNITY for extra point(s). The Extra Point(s) should be earned and not a gimme. When first instituted, the extra points were much more difficult and were often the deciding factor in close games. The new rules are just an attempt to RETURN to this. ALL scoring should be difficult, not just touchdowns.
If you don't want it to be that way, then just make the touchdown a seven point play and eliminate the extra point.
Why would they change the rules to the most popular game in this country? Why not do away with FG's altogether. Why not change the footballs to make them harder to kick? I bet if you were a kicker you would feel differently. The God'ell's new motto seems to be if it aint broke we're going to fix it anyway.
I guess I'm just a traditionalist.

If they didn't change the rules to football, we'd still be watching games with no passing with leather helmets. Baseball was once the most popular game in this country, but it got stuck in its history and was too slow to adapt.
Baseball was riding pretty high until the steroid mess broke open. That's when baseball fell from favor. For the life of me I can't see what this change does to improve the NFL game experience.
Feels like a gimmick to me.
I've said before and I'll say it again, by mid-season, kickers will be making PATs from the 15 at a 98-99% clip just like they're making PATs from the 2 at that clip today.

Then they'll make a more radical change like the CFL did.
This is clearly not just a Goodell issue.
And the CFL is changing way? And don't think about saying to copy the NFL since they go out of the way to be different...and to illustrate made a more radical change on PATs.
So you hate 2-pt conversions?
The game has ben made worse by all of these rule changes under God'ell. Defenseless receiver for example is terrible for the game for instance. IMHO
If you like arena football then I guess the God'ell NFL is your cup of tea. It certainly isn't what I grew up loving as a kid. The NFL's glory days were under a real commissioner Tags. Rozelle deserves a special mention sine his ideas are what made the NFL.
What has God'ell done? Change the rules and take precedent over legal system rulings. Yep all of this is great for the game.
The computer age and young fans wanting action all of the time while not taking time to learn the strategy of baseball is what hurt the game. BTW, MLB is als

1982 - defenseless receiver rule instituted - hits with crown or top of the helmet prohibited against players in the act of passing or receiving.
1995 - can't lower head, launch or land with full body weight (on passers) or hit in the head, neck or face even if initial contact is lower
2006 - Goodell takes over
2010 - prohibited hits to the head also cannot be done with shoulders or forearm
90% of defenseless receiver was in place before Goodell.
The fines/suspensions for big hits began to get enforced under God'ell. I guess I need to be very specific.

Ah I see, stuff after the games are over retroactively ruins them for you.
No, a player who has to worry about hitting a player too hard because he will A. get a penalty B. Get fined, cheapens the game.
Also if a player gets suspended for a hard hit it hurts his team the next game. But you know this and are just being arguementative. Tell me do you think the NFL is becoming more like the AFL and do you like this brand of football more than the late 70's early 80's brand?
This is why I loved when the replacement refs were working. True football and no agendas by the refs.
I think I'll be a traditionalist, too. I hate the forward pass!! Bring back REAL football! You know, three yards and a cloud of dust!
And while we're at it, get rid of that pansy helmet! Real men don't need 'em!! Real football players bang their heads together and die for their sport!!!

Yeah because lord knows players don't think about what will draw a flag. Good job, you just proved Goodell correct.
Whatever, just another example of you choosing to hate someone and them writing your own narrative, even to the point of rewriting NFL history.
I actually do like the receiver rules better than the days when the only pass interference was pulling out a gun and shooting the WR. My complaints with regard to receiver/DB interaction now are on consistency of enforcement rather than the rules themselves.
Overall, I enjoy football in terms of the type of game played just as much now as then. And I think 99% of the complaining like yours that gets done is demonstrably false crap - oh, "QBs wear skirts" even though they're going out with concussions, blown knees, busted shoulders left and right ... acting like defenseless receiver is something new ... acting like pass happy offenses would be news to Warner, Fouts, etc. ... acting like defenses are helpless kittens compared to the great D's "of ye olde days" when Seattle has had an all time level D, ... "might as well be flag football" when the players are bigger, stronger, faster and instead of inflicting minor play through them injuries with eye pokes, twisted/broken fingers and busted noses, now inflict season ending broken legs, pulped knees, etc.
It's almost all just a new version of "son back in my day I had to walk 10 miles through snow to school, both ways" (ya pansy, arrg, arrg, "me real man").
If it's so horrible, you know your options. Personally I think you'd be beotching and attacking chosen targets (McNair, Smith, Goodell) no matter what the rules.

If you did away with helments the concussion issues would probably be a lot less.

Actually we just enjoy watching you...
It's really cute when it's someone else's kid or dog.
Adult? - not so much.
Statistics reveal that concussions are much higher in the only comparative sport on the planet, and that would be rugby.
As far as pro foootball, I love it as a fan regardless of the commish. Besides, as we have chatted about many times, Goodell only represents the interests of the true power in pro football, and that would be the power of the 32 owners themselves. He does NOTHING without their consent, and, he pursues agendas based on their visions and demands for the league.
Your obsession with hating on Goodell is exactly why the man earns 40+ million a year. They pay him big money to be the point man for all the public vitriol, and he is their attack dog who takes all the heat for their ultimate decisions because they do not want to deal with the bad publicity themselves.
No obsessions or hatred, pointing out facts Spygate/Saints/Brady/Rice.... how many situations does God'ell get to screw up before there are consequences. Tagliabue somehow convinced the owners to let the judicial system run it's course before making judgements. This is what a strong commish does.
Keeps the owners in line and does what is good for the NFL as a whole. It's very telling that after bountygate God'ell no longer speaks to Tags because Tags didn't agree with the bogus punishments God'ell handed out. Why is this, God'ell's out of control ego?
The rules changes implemented under God'ell were in direct response under orders from the owners due to concussion lawsuits. With that said Rozelle/Tags would have convinced the owners that these rules changes were bad for the future of the game, to take care of the former players and make all players currently in the NFL sign a waiver that says the players fully understand the concussion risks and waive the rights to future lawsuits. This would keep the vultures (lawyers) at bay and keep the integrity of the game.
These are some of the things a strong leader commish would do. Unfortunately God'ell is a pansy who's only worried about getting paid, at the cost of the game I grew up loving. I've been trying to talk to my wife about not renewing my season tickets. (Not going to happen) When the NFL starts losing fans like me then change will happen, because the owners bottom lines will begin to suffer.
BTW, if Brady sues God'ell for defamation things will come out that will lead to God'ell not being retained after his current contract runs out. IMHO
The NFLPA would never agree to a head-injury liability waiver.
Give them more $$$$ and God'ell's head on a platter and I think you may be surprised.
This has actually been attempted in a manner before, and the union said absolutely not.
2 clubs try to get players with history of concussions to sign waivers
Goodell's job wouldn't have anything to do with it. The NFLPA would essentially be taking on the liability themselves at that point and there's just too much at stake there. You're right though, I would certainly be surprised.

Here is the rule. it will take a few tweets.
"A player is considered to be going to the ground if he does not remain upright long enough...to demonstrate that he is clearly a runner. If a player goes to the ground in the act of catching a pass(with or without contact by an opponent), he must maintain control of the ball until after his initial contact with the ground, whether in the field of play or the end zone. If he loses control of the ball and the ball touches the ground before he regains control, the pass is incomplete. If he regains control proir to the ball touching the ground, the pass is complete."
There you have it. Now are you less confused?
Mike Pereira @MikePereira
If a team sends in an eligible player as ineligible, then that player must line up in the core of the formation which is tackle to tackle...
Last season he could line up wide as long as he was on the line and not on the end of the line....
As before, he must report immediately to the referee and it applies no matter how many pounds per square inch of pressure are in the ball.

Pereira: NFL informs officials of new procedures for game balls
The Brady rules.
While commissioner Roger Goodell has yet to make a decision regarding Tom Brady's appeal for his role in Deflategate, the NFL told its officials this weekend that there will be new procedures for the 2015 season regarding how footballs will be prepared and monitored.
The most notable developments are the number of footballs prepared, random testing and changes in the oversight of the footballs once they've been checked by officials.
There's no change in the properties of the football, which means they will still be inflated between 12 1/2 and 13 1/2 pounds per square inch (PSI).
Here's a summary of the key changes this season:
* Each team will be required to supply 24 footballs to the officials locker room â 12 primary and 12 backup â 2 hours and 15 minutes prior to the game. Last season the home team had to submit 24 footballs prior to the game but the visitors only had to submit 12 footballs with an option to supply an additional 12 for use in outdoor stadiums.
* The referee will designate two members of his crew to conduct a pregame inspection to make sure all footballs meet the required specifications. Last season, the referee was the sole judge.
* The officials will number the balls 1-12. Last season, the balls were not numbered.
* The officials will measure the PSI and record that measurement corresponding to the numbered ball. Last season, no such record was kept.
* Any game ball within the allowable range of 12.5 to 13.5 PSI will be approved and the PSI level will not be altered. Any game ball determined to be over 13.5 PSI or under 12.5 PSI will either be deflated or inflated to 13.0 PSI. Last year there was no specific measurement of 13.0 required if an adjustment had to be made.
Additionally, the same procedure will be followed with respect to the backup set of game balls for each team.
Each NFL game last season had kicking ball coordinator, hired by the league, who has been primarily responsible for the six kicking balls. They will now take custody of all the balls once they've been approved until 10 minutes prior to kickoff.
At that point, the kicking ball coordinator, along with a member of the officiating crew and a security representative, will bring the footballs to the on-field replay station. Upon arrival, the game balls will be distributed to each team's ball crew in the presence of the league security representative. The backup balls will remain secured in the officials' locker room until needed.
Last season, the league's security representative was not a part of the total process and the kicking ball coordinator was not specifically assigned to be with the footballs the entire time.
At designated games, selected at random, the game balls used in the first half, will be collected by the kicking ball coordinator (KBC) at halftime and the league's security representative will escort the KBC to the locker room.
During halftime, the balls from both teams will be inspected and the PSI results will be measured and recorded by the two designated members of the crew who inspected them during the pregame. Once measured, those game balls will then be secured by the security representative and removed from play. The backup balls will then be used for the second half.
Also, at the end of any randomly selected game, the KBC will return the footballs to the officials' locker room, where all game balls from each team will be inspected and the results will be recorded.
All game ball information will be included in the referee's report to the league office.
Is all of this an overreaction? I think it is, but I think the league has a tendency to do that.
It's not a lot different than the random player checks the officials currently are required to perform prior to the game and at halftime in their respective team locker room. The officials are checking to see if there are foreign substances on their uniforms.
Checking the balls before the game and after the game would have been enough for me. The officials have approximately only six minutes in their locker room at halftime as it is. By the time they get off the field and then have to leave to notify the teams with a two-minute warning to get back on the field, that leaves them hardly enough time to catch their breaths.
Now they have to measure 24 footballs at random games. Now instead of officials discussing their performance in the first half and getting ready for the second half, they'll be adjusting PSI's.
Really? It's come to this? Is all has an air of pretentiousness to me.

Perhaps an over reaction, but not silly. Brady and Belecheat brought this on themselves and the rest of the league.
That's my issue with this whole deal. Lets say they found under-inflated balls in a Tennessee vs. Jacksonville game or a Buffalo vs Miami. Would there have been an investigation? Would the league have spent millions of bucks and taken three months to find out how it happened?
No.
There would be the required $25K fine and maybe a semi-stern note from the league office.
I doubt many of us would have even heard about it. But because it was the Pats and they had perceived "priors" NFL justice went into overdrive.
Silliness supreme.
ChampionTexan

So why the "quotes" around the word priors? Whether it warrants the additional penalties or not, the prior infractions are more than just "perceived".
Personally, while you can still argue that the penalties were too severe, I don't think you ignore those "priors" any more than you ignore the fact it's a second or third offense when you're talking about player discipline. Yeah, more scrutiny was given to this because of New England's history, but in principle, I've got zero problem with that.

The prior transgressions were at the team level. And the team was penalized. Now it looks like Goodell is after Brady. If he isn't, why weren't the forfeited draft picks and heavy fine sufficient penalty at the organizational level.
For the record, I'm not a Brady or N.E. fan so please don't take this as coming to their defense.
It's the Effed up process I'm griping about.

So you don't believe he was in on it?
(how can I phrase this without it sounding gay?)
I believe Brady told the equipment minions, "I grip/throw the ball better with them pumped up to the lower end of the band, so don't pump 'em up so real tight. Okay?" And I think this was gone over AGES ago - probably in training camp years back - and that specific conversation - but not the message - was long forgotten about. I think Brady has always liked the footballs on the lower end and that's how the equipment minions set 'em up. Some how the Colts' noticed the balls were squishy and went and told the teacher.
I say again, if this were Jacksonville or Tennessee or St. Louis or Miami, nobody would give a damn.

So, the first TD of the season just occurred... The player crossed the endzone near the left sideline and the extra point was snapped from the left hashmark. Was the placement of the ball due to the TD play, or did the kicker request the left hashmark? Anyone know for sure?

The second TD clarifies it. Ran it in down the middle, but the extra point was still from the left hash.

“When you go on the road with the wind and all those conditions, it may make you think about going for 2 a little bit more often,” [Lions Head Coach Jim] Caldwell said Monday. “But even more so, I’m sure there are going to be some teams that we play against — (and) we may be one of them — that decide to go for 2 every single time. So with the point differential, you’re going to have to be good at that particular execution of the 2-point play.”

That's an interesting point. Maybe a 2 point specialist is a position that could evolve, like long snappers.

I wonder if the drop kick can be done from the 2 or if it must be done back where the place kick is required? I've always been a fan of bringing it back.

It's not illegal, you can do it now if you want (I think Brady did one a couple of years ago), but the shape of the football has evolved the pointy ends to make it more aerodynamic to help the passing game. I think a football drop kick is much more challenging than a rugby drop kick.
As to your question, whether it would be done from the 2 or still from the 15, I'm not sure.

Jacksonville got called for 16 fouls including 5 defensive holds and 5 false starts. McAulay's crew was active. 29 total fouls in the game.
The Saints were penalized 18 times. That was the most of the week. 5 offensive holding calls.
The Raiders were penalized only 3 times(fewest this week) while their opponents, Rams, were penalized 14 times. Jack Del Rio influence?? Fouls called, not accepted.
There were 34 fouls called in the Miami/Chicago game. John Parry's crew had 7 offense holds and 7 defensive holds. Miami had no false starts
The Bears were called for 7 false starts...
That's 96% accuracy which is just about what the League expected. That compares to over 99% in the past season.
Thoughts on pre-wk 1...Two missed extra point kicks. Looks like they were 50 for 52. Neither miss returned. 6 for 12 on two point trys.

Statistically, this makes the two point conversion rate the better option. 12 points on 12 tries (1.000/try) vs 50 points on 52 tries (0.962/try).

It also means that out of 24 points that could have been made on 2 pointers, only 12 were made whereas 50 points were made out of 52 tries on a kick.
