I'm not totally oppossed to it, but it will make it easier for teams to rally. I guess that will add more drama to the games.
I think the real question is how penalties enforced on the kickoff will mesh with this rule. For example, the defense is offsides on a successful PAT and the offense chooses to enforce the penalty on the kickoff. Do they now have to convert a 4th and 15 from 5 yards further up the field or is it 4th and 10? Would a dead ball personal foul enforced on the defense on the kickoff result in an automatic 1st down?
Another question would be are you locked into your decision? If you decide to go for it and you false start, can you then decide to kick it instead? Or if the receiving team takes a penalty where the kicking team has the option to rekick, can they just decide to go for it?
