Roger Goodell is expected to announce on Friday the NFL will establish a new rule to eliminate the PAT. After the season ending knee injury to place kicker Mike Nugent last Sunday, the league and owners associations have voted to no longer allow the PAT and requiring teams to attempt a two point conversion after touchdown.

Re: NFL to consider eliminating the PAT
I saw that!! They also said it would open the roster for another player, probably increasing the scoring in the games. I see their point...it just might work.Originally posted by CHS_89

I applaud Roger if he follows through and does this. I'd rather just see teams go for two everytime. There's no sense in putting a kicker in harm's way like that just for one point.
This boy is not the most athletic kid or strong kid. He is just tall and has a huge frame and heart. He wants his body to perform at a varsity level, but he can't make it do it. He knows he is not there yet and so do I. His words; "Dad I can start at some of those other schools, but at (random school), I will be the best I can be. I may never start on varsity, but I will know I gave it my best." Soon to be an after-school special.

So one guy gets hurt and we are going to change the way we play the game? Hmmm
I don't understand, and I need some points from my kicker in Fantasy Football.
I don't really like it, however it would make the games a bit more interesting.

Fox radio is still on? I think they got rid of that in Dallas. I didn't listen to it too much anyway though.Originally posted by SintonFan_inAustin

should stay like it is, if you want two points you can always go for 2 if you dont want your kicker to get hurt
