Today the commissoner of the NFL was on tv talking about possibly doing away with the point after kick and making the touchdown worth 7 points.
What is currently a 2 point conversion would add 1 point, making an 8 point drive. However if the conversion failed, 1 point would be deducted making it a 6 point drive.
The reasoning given for the change was that 1 point kicks are almost always sucessful, boring to watch and time consuming.
I think I'd rather see the point system remain the same with a longer distace from the goal posts for placement of the ball.
Whay do you guys think?
