Something like…..

1 point = existing PAT,
2 points = existing 2 point try,
3 points = existing field goal try,
4 points = field goals from behind the 35 yard line,
5 points = defensive safety,
6 points = TD,
7 points = All TD’s scored from behind the 35, including punt/KO return TD’s.

And if you think taping dummy signals in plain view to 70,000 people in the stadium made him who he is than you’re reaching for straws to justify the Patriots whoopin’ your team’s tale for a decade.

The Dynasty continues bums…haha!

If the signals were so “dummy” then why did the “greatest” coach even bother? Looks like he was pretty stupid to do it if it really didn’t give him any advantage. Also stupid of you Pats fan to even believe that he wasn’t purposefully cheating.

Oh, and the word is “tail”, New England MORON. Go back and get your GED, you freakin’ idiot.

What a loser post from a gay loser named butthumps. The Pats still have a long way to go to top more prominent franchises like the Steelers. Until then, your team is still far behind. Much like you were in grade school.

1) Do you (even in your wildest dreams) even dare to imagine that he gives a s..t?

2) The Patriots were caught stealing defensive signals (by a former asst. coach) in the 1st half of the 1st game of the 2007 season. They were told to stop they did. Given the publicity the incident received would it not stand to reason that the league would keep them under extra-sharp surveillance after that? Of course it does. Any complaints since then? None.

2) Not long after that rumors, conjecture, etc. started circulating that the Patriots had been stealing defensive signals since, well since forever – probably since (at least) before the civil war. Any proof? None. (BTW – Teams in all sports on all levels have been stealing other teams’ signals – offensive and defensive – since well before the invention of dirt.)

3) (For being so evil) The Patriots were stripped of their 1st round choice in the 2008 draft. The evil genius ALREADY had the 7th overall choice in the 1st round and then – just to be more evil – he traded down to the 10th overall choice, receiving an extra 2nd round choice, and used that #10 overall choice to pick Jerrod Mayo who (just to irritate all of you that much more) became the defensive rookie of the year.

4) Your complaints about us Pats fans – we stand accused of being snobs, arrogant, irritating, and just about every other possible fan-crime.

GUILTY

When you have a team as good as ours to root for that is as good as ours and has been for the last 10 years and shows no sign of letting up – that is one of the bennies of being a Pats fan. When (if?) they start losing more we will shut up, but until then

a) get used to it

and

b) get some new material

How pathetic. Just goes to show that outside of bandwagon sports fandom, New Englanders have no life.

Of course, compared to the hatred that New Englanders have for the Yankees (who have pretty much dominated an entire century of baseball), any “hatred” of the Pats is laughable by comparison. Pretty much explains the desperation with which New Englanders have clung to this blip in time. New England sports fans are without a doubt the most childish fans in all of the sports world. Cry about the boorish behavior fans of other teams (Steeler fans in particular) when they are losing and conveniently forget how to be gracious winners when they are winning. Biggest hypocrites in America.

Like in Rugby, where you can kick (punt) the ball through the goalposts for 3 points.

Give the teams an option to either kick a PAT for 1 point, punt it through the goalposts from the 20y line and outside the hash marks for 2 points…

That would be interesting and would value punters a bit more…

Just a thought…

That basically is called a “dropkick”. And it’s still legal in the NFL.

Either you make it on 4th down or you throw it down field.

If you opt to throw it then you have a chance to recover it.

if you throw it then the opponent may pick it up and run it.

you could also fake a down field throw.

Worry about getting yourself a respecting wardrobe, a non-married girlfriend, help from a bogus tuck rule, and doing something in the post-season sans extra video footage!

If there was no competative advantage to the tapes, why did Goodell burn them quicker than a crack rock in Lawrence Taylor’s pocket.

Learn some class ala Joe Gibbs!

If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.

Clearly not thought out. When teams are scoring either 3, 6, or 8 points per score, it would be nearly impossible for a team to be up by 7 at the end of the game.

==================================

and clearly math is not your forte…

16 – 9?
19 – 12?
15 – 8?
18 – 11?
21 – 14?

there are infinite possiblities.

not that I agree with the suggestion, though. I think the PAT should remain. More so now that Belicheat has spoken out against it.

and you know it.

Amy Trask says “thanks for debunking the stereotype, moron!”

PAT from the 20 is 1 pt, or
PAT from the 30 is 2pts, or
PAT from the 40 is 3pts.

TD scoring team’s choice.

No more rough and tumble 2 pt conversions from the 2.

Those non plays are low reward, high risk. When you kick off from the 30 (the 35 moreso) the best outcome for the kicking team (reasonably) is a stop around the 20 (give or take a few yards). It’s highly unlikely that a team gets a stop on the 5. However, If something goes wrong, a team can get a lot better field position (or even score). Thus to stop that, teams take risks that are not really necessary and players get hurt because of it.

I hate the new rule, but I hate seeing a guy on the field with his neck broken because he was a wedge buster or a middle man.

Football is a violent sport, but it’s gotten more violent as time has gone on (because of the “bigger, faster, stronger” stuff) and I can understand why the league can’t have that.

So I say aye to BB’s ideas.

The tuck rule does not happen, then you are still the miserable team your were in the previous decades…Your “Coach” will turn into a “Pumpkin” at the stroke of 1:15 pm PST on Oct 02, 2011

We will be waiting for your cookie dough defense-to come to THE BLACK HOLE!!! LOL!!!

Oh that’s right, east coast people are only tough in movies and in fairy tales.

So you won’t show your Patsy freakin cookie dough faces on that day after all.

Oh well, that’s the just the wimpy East Coast mentality…We understand you would be terrified. You should fear us, you freakin Cup Cakes. LOL!!!

We will destroy Brady!!!! You hear me? DESTROY!!!

We will have him on his back all day -if he survives that long – (See Richard S. VS Ben the Rapist.) LOL!!!

Late…

———————————

I’m all for doing something with extra points, but its ‘success rate’ is a weak argument. I’d be curious to see how often a ‘slam dunk’ is successful….. Or how about a few other high percentage stats/plays: Lowest MLB (team) fielding percentage last year was .978! Worst NHL goalie save percentage was .917! How about the success rate of the center-qb exchange. Want to bet that’s around 99%? Should we have the QB self-hike like we do in flag-football?

If you want to get rid of it because it’s boring and antedated, great … make them go for 2 or move the kick back to spice things up. But don’t argue against it because it’s a high probability play.
