Chisoxfn Posted May 15, 2015 Share Posted May 15, 2015 I like poaching two guys from winning organizations. Hopefully these guys were key parts to that in Bmore and Denver, respectively. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bmags Posted May 15, 2015 Share Posted May 15, 2015 QUOTE (Quinarvy @ May 15, 2015 -> 10:21 AM) I really like his hires, not sure on his player moves yet. Though of course, time will tell on those. Even if his player moves do not work out, I really appreciate his handling of the cap to allow us room to make a single big splash when more appropriate.

Agreed. Plus, I respect Daniel Jeremiah a lot, so this was a nice tweet to see: Joe Douglas (new director of college scouting for the Bears) is one of the best talent evaluators I've ever been around.— Daniel Jeremiah (@MoveTheSticks) May 15, 2015 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChiSox_Sonix Posted May 19, 2015 Share Posted May 19, 2015 Extra Points may change today Personally, I'm all for it. They are currently a non-competitive play. I'd love to see them do something to make the play much more strategic in terms of going for 1 or 2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should have stuck to the original plan of perhaps fundamentally changing strategy. Now it's just the same problem they wanted to get rid, that 30 yard FGs are made at 95%, which I guess is a slight "improvement" of 99%. And now games will likely be decided by missed FGs even more, which again is just dumb and backwards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChiSox_Sonix Posted May 20, 2015 Share Posted May 20, 2015 Small, but I'm glad the defense can finally be rewarded by taking a 2 point attempt back for a TD like they do in college. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After a TD, the offense can just take an automatic 1 point PAT with no further action needed, or decide to go for 2 from the 2 yard line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn't that happen about as often as a missed extra point? I think they should do away with the kicks. Just give 7 for a TD unless you want to go for 2, then it's 6. Saves some time.

Can the defense return blocked extra points too? That doesn't seem like the best idea. If it ever happens in a big moment, teams will possibly just start taking a knee instead of kicking late in a one point game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's the rule in college, and yes, if you score to go up by 1 or 2 with less than 20 seconds left, you should be taking a knee instead of trying to kick a PAT.

cabiness42 Posted May 20, 2015 Share Posted May 20, 2015 Will teams stop doing that because of the risk of a fumble/int return? The only time the defensive 2 point rule will impact the offense's extra point decision is within the last 20 seconds of the game, when the extremely tiny odds of a defensive 2 point play finally become higher than the odds that the other team will score on offense.
