^^ I actually would be very OK with this.  I like the idea of encouraging teams to go for 2.

Makes sense to go for 2 almost every time I think (at least early in the game). 43 yards, screw that. Go for 2!

Well, now the NFL is experimenting with longer extra points during the preseason.

It will definitely make things more exciting, but is that a good thing?  Idk.

^^^ The ball is being snapped from the 20, they will be more like 37 yards.

I don't like the idea of having an exciting last minute touchdown drive go to waste because extra points are no longer automatic

^^^ and I don't think any points in an NFL game should be automatic.

Then it'd be best to eliminate the extra point imo

^^ No because then you also eliminate 2 point conversions and more games will be out of reach late.  As it is now any team down by 8 inside 2 minutes has a chance.

Any kicker these days that can't hit a 37 yarder easily shouldn't be a kicker.  Missing an extra point is deadly, and this will put more emphasis on it.

I like the move.

a 37 yard extra point in an outdoor northern city in December will make games more interesting. Lot more teams would be going for 2 in bad weather conditions.

idk, I don't like it.

It gives kickers too much influence in the game

I mean if you've worked so hard to drive down the field to score a touchdown, I don't like the idea of all that effort going in vain.

I still think if it's not broke don't fix it. Too many rule changes lately.

Ruined the game when they introduced the forward pass.

Poor argument. Saying the forward pass is equal to moving an extra point back is ridiculous.

The first I even heard about changing the extra point last season came from the Pats and BB, so it doesn't surprise me you're all for another rule change the Patriots are a part of.
