Would you favor changing points scored TD, FG, etc?

I know the likelihood is remote because of tradition, but who cares about watching field goals decide so many games? Reduce field goals to one point and half points for extra points? Or increase TD points to 12 points and 2pt conversion to 4 pts? You could also increase a safety to 4 pts in that case.

I would rather more incentive to get aggressive in actually scoring TDs than kicking a field goal and strutting around. What say you?

This is a highly interesting topic.

Analytics guys in NBA have proposed some serious changes to scoring and total time of games that they claim would increase viewership

Your ideas are beyond my brain capacity right now.

I do think the extra point needs to be eliminated somehow...it's a waste of time. If the league wants to hang it's hat on rest for players and/or commercial use...just extend commercial breaks.

Make extra point 45 yards, teams have ability to make up for it with a two point play later.

There is no suspence with the extra point...get rid of it.

I'm for getting rid of kickoffs too. Punts are fine...kickoffs...boring in today's nfl.

3 points, 6 points, 1 point and 2 points works math wise for the flow of NFL games. Just make the 1 point 45 yards.

No, this isn’t arena football.

But the league has already instated rules from sub-leagues.

And this isn't sub-league

What's your post mean?

You're above everything?

I think the scoring is fine as is, XP’s aren’t automatic anymore. I don’t like the kickoff rules or onside kicks though. There is no reason to have 12pt TD’s or half-point extra points. Doubling or halving scores would seriously skew the statistics for past comparisons.
