My point was that 7 heads in a row, while rare is not in the same context of missing a PAT.
Perhaps it's better if we consider the possibility of missing an on-contested dunk by a college player. 2 out of 300?
P.S. I once flipped heads 14 times in a row. Will never forget. Won $10. |
You really need to look at your a probability calculations 
1-(0,5^7)=0,991875 = 99,1875%

If it ain't broke, don't fix it. No changes to the PAT are necessary. The only one I would even consider would be to make the snap from the 5 or 10 yard line, rather than the 2.

Belichick suggested a couple years ago on moving the PAT to the 20 yard line resulting in a 37-39 yard field goal. 30-40 yard fields are statistically in the 93% success rate, although I imagine it's less for 37+ yarders but still in the 90% range of likely.
Another option has been suggested as having just two play ins, like the 2-point convert except for 1 point it's at the 1 yard line and the 2 point convert is at the 3.
A final option is of course having no 1 point option at all and only having the 2 point convert. |
Love the move to the 20. The way it's set up now is just silly. As high of a % as there is with those it's almost like a TD should be worth 7 unless you want to try a 2pt conversion.
Move it back to the 20. Perfect idea. |
