Belichick Would Like To See The Extra Point Eliminated

The KO is a free ball, unlike a punt which is a change of possession and should be returned from anywhere in the field of play....including the end-zone.

Would go against what they are trying to achieve. Player safety. Not going to happen.

I understand as this is supposed to be all about safety. In the interest of safety, just put the ball on the 20yd. line to start the game and eliminate the KO altogether.

I think Belichick is ridiculous.

I for one like the extra point. It's part of the game. It adds strategy (weather to go for 1 point of 2) and it does add excitement during the rare instances where something goes wrong.

As for the kickoff why dont we just add a variation of the CFL rouge. Which would give a point to the kicking team if they trap the returnman in the endzone.

I always thought that at the very least the kicking team should get a point if the kicker could kickoff and kick the ball through the uprights of the endzone.
