Re: Tom Coughlin: Want excitement? Move extra points to the 1
The Philly/Detroit game in the snow blizzard last year was TREMENDOUSLY exciting, easily one of the most exciting NFL games I've ever watched...because it was snowing so hard that nobody could kick ANYTHING, so they had to go for 2 every time. So every touchdown, you had to line up and score ANOTHER touchdown (2 pt conversion) right after you scored the first one. Some were missed, and some were made, and until Philly pulled away late in the 4th, the game was constantly hanging in the balance, because no one knew what would happen next, or whether the next extra point conversion would be made or missed....even when one team had the lead, each extra point had the whole game (tie vs. loss) potentially riding on the attempt.
It was a GREAT game. Having said that, if every game were like that, every week, I would lose interest in the sport. Going for 2 all the time, is just TOO CRAY CRAY.
