Field Goals Yes or No?

T.O.Killa

Agree!!

I don't see the question here. Field goals are here to stay and Bayless is a fool. All of this is known already.

No. Field goals should not be eliminated. Stupid idea.

I do not think we would need field goals to see Tony Romo crumble.

While it seems like xtra points and field goals are sure things for today's kickers whenever they miss it seems like the team is chasing those lost points the rest of the game and impacts how they manage the game. No way should FGs and XPs be done away with.

It's part of the game. That's why we keep it. It's no more lunacy or just plain arbitrary than deciding offenses get 4 downs instead of 3 to get a first down. Or that TDs are worth 6 points. You fiddle with the little things in sports to make the whole product better. You don't eliminate an entire aspect of the game because the players involved get paid less or look less athletic. God what dolt. It's stuff like this that makes you really think Bayless really is a genuinely stupid person and ESPN is even stupider for allowing him to grace their airwaves. I know of NO ONE who likes this guy and don't see how he adds any value to ESPN's product. You know what should be changed in sports? Skip Bayless' employment situation.

I won't comment on the Skip/ESPN aspect of it (though clearly if someone else had written this the response would likely be different)

That said I don't think field goals should be eliminated. Nor do I necessarily agree with Bill Belichick's assertion that we should eliminate extra points

But they're not the first and won't be the last to suggest this

I understand the point of wanting more TDs than field goals, but field goals are far too important in the game. I would actually like to see field goals beyond 55 yards worth more than 3 points. Maybe 5 points.
