Extra Points: Why Not Just Make Everyone Go For Two?

[redskinsfan]

Among the many proposals for rule changes at this week's owners meeting in Arizona, there's at least one regarding extra points. Without getting into the details of what that proposal is, why not just make it simpler? Require everyone to go for two after each touchdown.

That would make things much more interesting for each extra point, especially during the earlier parts of the game. Unfortunately, with our special teams, this rule would be probably come back to haunt us.

How about the drop-kick?

Seriously, if they want to tinker with PAT, then give more options, for example.....1 point for conventional kick, 2 for a play from the 5 yard line after touchdown and 3 for a play from the 15 yard line after touchdown.
