RE: Two-Point Conversion - fredtoast - 06-03-2015
Last year there were 1230 XP kicks with only 8 missed.
If that drops from 99% to 93% that will mean an additional 74 missses. That is an additional 2.3 per year per team. It is very likely that there will be a few games decided this year by missed XPs.

A lot of people keep bringing up that 93% number.
Does everybody realize that the number is including ball placement from the left hash to the right hash to everywhere in between?
It would be nice to see the % of field goals at that distance that were considered to be from the center of the field. It's not like they're going to play a quick game of roshambo to decide which part of the field the PAT is going to be kicked from.

I read that the Pats were one of the supporters of the PAT changes. Remember when Brady pushed for changes in how the teams control footballs? They will continue to step over the line.
I will continue to call it what it is and that is cheating.

The bottom line is that FGs from 35 yards out are made on a vastly greater scale than two point conversions are successful. The math is not that difficult.

If Marvin Lewis could figure out how to exploit the 2 pt conversion, within the letter of the rules, would you want him to use it?

True, but the fact that they'll be attempting far more of these 33 yarders in windy/rainy/snowy conditions in times where they normally wouldn't have considered a 33 yard FG will more than make up that difference, imo.
We'll see soon enough.
