i hope we see more blocked kicks maybe that distance we will
So it's now a 32yd extra point
Wonder what the % is making from that point?
Also added :
The new rule also gives the defense the ability to score two points on returns.
IE; blocked kick or int which result in scores
What do you think of this? I just don't see why the league is always changing stuff. If it isn't broken....

This will definitely have some kind of impact on the games. I remember Vinatieri struggling in the pro bowl (no, I didnt watch that crap but I did read it).
IDK
Maybe it will have an impact on rainy, windy, snowy days
These kickers are so good it's all but automatic from there anyway
Here's the funny thing:
They change the rules over the years to favor QB's....wide receivers....and the offense in general to promote scoring
Now they want to tinker with an extra point...asinine , IMO
Now to really make it interesting let lucy be the holder

Waiting to see how the patriots circumvent this new rule

Fakes are out now. Not going to fake it from the 15.
thats what I was wondering. You are not allowed to kick it from the 2 - seems like a darn bad bet to try to run or pass from the 15 - but then again, someone will sometime catch the opponent sleeping....
think its 90% from there
If there is a blocked kick or a fumble and the defense starts to run it back, but THEY fumble and the kicking team then recovers - can you run back for 2 points? How many years before we see that?
I wonder what we may see in the way of funky formations in kicks from the 15. You know the way some high school teams do odd fronts? I've seen high school teams come out with four players split out wide and the other seven in apparent kicking formation. They then motion into regular FG formation - usually...or sometimes they just snap the ball and throw it
Lining up at the 2 yard line, there isnt space to make that work in the NFL. I wonder whether someone will come out with a strange but effective formation and possible fake FG from the 15....

6 blocked extra points last year and 5 blocked FGs from the new distance. (37 total blocked kicking plays in 2014).
Another interesting stat - 50+ yard FGs connect more successfully than 2 pt conversions are successful. Kickers will keep kicking.
I think teams will still be more inclined to kick the PAT early, but now if they miss one early in the game it is far more likely they will chase that point by going for 2 the very next time they score a TD, regardless of how early it may be.
The new distance does not cause a kicker to kick with a lower trajectory the way long FGs do so the block numbers should be consistent and close as last years numbers suggest.
