FG in NFL

[dawgstudent]

I wonder if the NFL will ever do something to make FG harder. It’s become automatic from 60 yards and in. The only thing I could see is adjusting width of the posts.

I hope not. Too much tinkering already, though most of that has been to protect themselves from lawsuits, or player safety as they like to call it.

Eliminate field goals. Maybe except for last 2 minutes of a half or game.

While we’re at it let’s eliminate free throws in basketball and sac flys in baseball.

Falcons have a kicker named Younghoe...and he just won the game against the Aints with a 57 yarder.

Need to start steroid testing these kickers

I was gonna come in here and argue about how DS is wrong, but then I saw New Orleans score to take a 1-point lead with 1:00 left in the game. Kickoff to the Falcons, who gained 30 yards on offense, then drill a 57 yard FG to win the game. That’s not supposed to happen.

I get that. But watching an offense drive 30 years for the kicker to kick a FG is boring. Eliminate the FG & you’ll get a lot more 4th down conversion attempts, which is one of the most exciting plays in football. I think it would improve the game.

It’s routine these days. 5 field goals in that game. Boring, except for the last one.

Make it where you can hit the kickers?

maybe require the hold to be 10 yards behind line of scrimmage or require free kick

Tolu would have never come to state then.

Jets just lost….with a missed field goal.

 

[POTUS]

Narrow the goalposts just a little. Not that it would’ve mattered for Koo today.

 

[DesotoCountyDawg]

The Packers lost. Their kicker missed 3 field goals.

 

[11thEagleFan]

On a related note, I hate that a touchback gives you the ball at the 30. Dumb.

Fans want high scoring, exciting games. How about they just play overtime rules in regulation and just alternate offenses starting at the 25 for four hours.

It’s what the Saints didn’t do the previous 59 minutes that caused this to happen not the last minute.

That’s a hot take. Considering that after 59 minutes of play, New Orleans was up.

Maybe just eliminate the ability to kick it all. The foot touching the ball has no place in football, if you ask me.

Need to come up with another name for it.

Morten Andersen used to practice on a field goal post 8 ft wide.
