That means PATs will now be 33 yards instead of 20. It's a drastic change, not one everyone was necessary asking for. There will now be big games decided by missed extra points. The league also implemented another rule change, awarding two points for extra-point or two-point conversions that are returned for a score by the defense. That rule was already employed by the NCAA.

Wow I didn't know about the 2 points for returning it. Can't wait to see the first time that happens.

I thought it was interestingly telling how the refs began really focusing on offensive holding on extra points last year.
A hold on an extra point will now mean a 43 yarder...
And a false start would likely force a team to just go for 2 instead.

My favorite teams
I don't know about this one. Although it was almost automatic, there still was a chance a PAT was going to be shank kick or just flat out blocked. I think the game is pretty good as it is. Don't really care for all the tinkering. See how it goes until there's some unforeseen controversy.

I hate this. More emphasis on games being decided by a kicker.

I like these changes. The PAT had essentially become a worthless play. This will add at least a small level of interest now.

I think that's actually the opposite of what they're going for. This move should influence teams go for 2 more than 1.

I don't like this rule. You can kick a FG from the 3 now and have it be worth 3 points, while a PAT is from the 15 and only worth one point.
I like that they can be returned now though.

Let's hope that Gould come backs 100%. Has there been any word on him so far in the Spring?

I was fine with things the way they were but this would be the type of change I'm ok with. Any talk of extra point conversions being made way harder didn't do anything for me. A TD should be rewarded with something easy or nothing at all.

It's kinda lame that it eliminates fakes and the coaches ability to make a team think they're going for less surprisingly as it'll be clear if they're going for it now by the interaction with dealing with the Umpire placing the ball.

Could a team attempt a 2 point fake from the 15 now?
