Message: [QUOTE="SWC75, post: 509530, member: 289"] I was reading on Wikipedia about basketballs' 3 point shot: [url]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Three_point_shot[/url] I noticed that NFL Europe had a rule that a field goal outside the 40 yard line was worth four points. I tho9ught about this and wondered if it would be a good idea if place kicks- both field goals and extra points- got a certain number of points based on distance: Within 20 yards: 1 point 20-39 yards: 2 points. 40-59 yards: 3 points 60-79 yards: 4 points 80-99 yards, (if someone could kick it): 5 points. Teams in the red zone would focus on touchdowns. Teams who have scored touchdowns could decide to put the ball back far enough to get more points on the conversion. Teams might try more really long field goals. Sure it's different. It's "outside the box". Is a good idea or a bad one? [/QUOTE]
