I don't want to see the EP removed from football. It does need to be changed. I think spotting the ball at the 5 yard line and running one untimed play for 3 points is a good idea. If a team chooses to kick the ball it would still be worth one point.

If they get rid of EP's then it's kickoff's that are next. All this is doing is taking about someones job that is only special teams.

Not sure it will happen. TV makes it's money during these moments with TV timeouts following the PAT via commercials.

I say make them kick from the 10 yard line. So every extra point would be a 25 yd kick

They would still have a commercial after the touchdown.

True. And, after hearing more about the change today, I like the idea of the new scoring idea's. Would put some excitement in it.

"There's one proposal in particular that I've heard about," Goodell added. "It's automatic that you get seven points when you score a touchdown, but you could potentially go for an eighth point, either by running or passing the ball, so if you fail, you go back to six."

Could make the cross bar narrower for extra points ? Also if you kick it through during a kickoff counts as 3 points.

94% of FG inside of 40 yards were good this season in the NFL. Move the PAT back to be a 45 yard attempt. And, only have 3 guys on each side of the ball.

This. The answer should be making the kick harder, not eliminating it.
