So again why is anyone objectively against changing up a play that's become almost automatic?

During the 2013 regular season, there were 5 missed extra points, and 6 missed field goals between 20 and 29 yards (No FGs were missed inside 20). I don't think eliminating it is the answer, but a change isn't a bad thing. Move it back to the 8, 13, or 18, but keep the field goal kicker relevant. If you eliminate the extra point, there will be coaches out there that either place those duties on a punter to open up the roster spot, or don't kick at all and always go for two/go for it on fourth inside FG range.

But I know all too well the pain of a missed extra point. I lost in the 2009 Warpath (Free) Fantasy Football League Championship game because Ryan Longwell missed an extra point...
