Colts propose allowing teams to “go for three” after TDs

[polamalubeast]

If the NFL adopts an odd rule proposal from the Colts, a nine-point game will be a one-possession game.

The Colts will propose a new rule at next week’s league meeting that would allow teams to try for a “bonus point” after a successful two-point conversion. So if a team lines up for a two-point conversion attempt and succeeds, that team would then line up at the 32-yard line and try a 50-yard field goal. If the kick is good, the team would get one point, for a total of nine points on the possession: six on the touchdown, two on the conversion and one on the bonus kick.

The proposal is, for now, just to try the rule during the preseason. If it’s successful in the preseason, in the future it could be considered in the regular season. It’s not unusual for the league to try out new rules in the preseason; last year the league experimented with making extra points harder in preseason games.

Stupid...

[st33lersguy]

So stupid, Goodell and the owners will love it

[tube517]

Now, put the nets behind the goal posts and turn it into Arena Football

[ALLD]

Make the players wear snow shoes on kickoff returns.

Whichever individual person came up with this idea should be drug tested

why...

[Steelerette]

Why not just have a 30-point conversion. Each team puts 40 players on the field, you start at midfield, it has to be a running play but you can use as many laterals if you want, if you get to the end zone you get 30 points, and the opposing team has to pay for ice cream.

[SteelerFanInStl]

Stupid and Arena Football were the two things that immediately popped into my head after reading this.

[86WARD]

Dumb

[Nadroj 20]

Have to find a way to make the game higher scoring

[Texasteel]

I think it may work, but if you miss the extra point you subtract the 2 point play, then subtract the kickers shoe size from the score, divide that by the age of the oldest uncle on the field. multiply by his wife's age, take the number of tickets sold, subtract the number of empty seats, place that number over the original number, carry the number of hotdogs sold,,, man Goodell is going to love this idea, where was I?......................... Here's an idea. Leave my damn game alone.

Read it again... Dumber the second time around...

Slept, woke up, read this a third time...still dumb. Dumberer than the first two.

Get drunk and smoke a few. Report back.

[steelreserve]

Here's what they need to do: Eliminate the regular 1-point kick after a touchdown, and award anywhere from 0-2 points for the end zone dance. Then if the dance gets 2 points, the offensive team can elect to try for a third point by having both kickers line up at midfield and beat the hell out of each other in a helmet-swinging fight until one of them is knocked out. If the kicker for the offense wins, they get an extra point, but if the kicker for the defensive team wins, the offense LOSES a point. Also, concussion rules would not apply to this because kickers are dumb.

[Psycho Ward 86]

Fuck it, let's just add a 5th down to football to add to the pandemonium

[X-Terminator]

Not only is this incredibly stupid, it would also make games longer...which I thought the league wanted to fix.

Doesn't matter to Goodell, though. He'll support it. "Damn the torpedoes, full speed ahead!"

[ALLD]

Getting rid of the grounding penalty would really improve offenses, but the Sackmaster of the year might get 3 or 4. They could also add a 12th man to the offense like a DH in baseball.

[86WARD]

How about a Mulligan? You know...for anything. Would've come in handy when Tim Tebow burnt Ike Taylor for a Playoff Win...

[steel striker]

God that the would be horrible move for the NFL. I hate that idea!

[Count Steeler]

Because a 3 1/2 hour game isn't long enough.

Score a TD. Commercial break while refs review.
2 point conversion. Commercial break while refs review.
Extra extra point. Commercial break, cause you know, why not?
KO, rather touchback. Commercial break.

If they could only figure out have to have commercials all the time.
