i know everybody is done with deflategate, but this article sums it up...

DP just mentioned it, but this is the quote which sums it up perfect:

"The battle is over, Patriot fans. And the war has been lost. The Patriots have been found to have cheated twice in eight seasons. They have accepted the loss of first-round draft picks twice in eight seasons. They have accepted the biggest fine in NFL history."

To me, these facts severly taint the so called dynasty...

[quote=JoeRedskin;1113635]In 2013 (couldn't quickly find last years numbers), there were 1,267 xp's kicked with only five missed (99.6%). Applying the 94% success rate to that number, means about 76 xp's would be missed. While not huge, it does make the possibility of an important xp kick being missed something to consider a little more.[/quote]

agree...this will decide some games

How many games were won by a point or two? This change may affect final quarter strategy for many games and prove to be much more than a trivial change.

Haven't decided yet whether any of this will be good or bad for the game.

If we are going to be going for two more often then I am glad we drafted Matt Jones.

Well, it's not just the final score that may be effected. Team down by 10 scores a TD with two - four minutes to go, misses the xp and now must get a TD not an just a FG. Maybe they try an onside where they might have been content to rely on defense. etc., etc.

At the same time, I'm with you. Not sure if it is good or bad.

Can you still try a fake from the 15 and score two points? Not sure anyone would but just curious if the rule addresses that.

In news unrelated to NE -- holy crap: [url=http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap3000000493320/article/baylors-shawn-oakman-jumps-40-inches-holding-70-lbs-weights]Baylor's Shawn Oakman jumps 40 inches holding 70 lbs weights - NFL.com[/url]

Not sure if folks have the appetite for more freak athletes from Baylor, but I would think this guy could probably swat down a few kicks and passes.
