I don't like it. The NFL wanted more excitement so they figured they would make the extra point kick longer. Kicks are now 33 yarders. It's not a long kick, but it's not an 'automatic' kick either. If they thought the extra point kick was too boring a play, I have a couple suggestions instead.
1. Just make touchdowns 7 points without the necessary 1 point extra kick. That would eliminate the 'boring extra point play.' Additionally, Instead of a two point 'conversion', make it a one point bonus play. This can be executed by either a three yard play or a 52 yard kick. If the bonus play is unsuccessful however, the team loses a point.
OR
Keep the 'boring' extra point kick and add a couple of different options.
Make touchdowns worth 6 points with an extra point. Same as last year.
The extra point play is last year's extra point distance.( one point) The two point plays are either from the 3 yard line or a 52 yard kick. No loss of point for a failed two point play with this scenario.
After two shanked 33-yard PATs, are more missed extra points coming?
