The issue I have is that you can apparently change midsteam and the field position is changed. In the old days the ball was spotted at the 2 so I have no issue with changing it up if you end up on the one. But now you're changing a 1 yard penalty into a 14 yard penalty. Since the spots have changed, I think they ought to have to pick one and stick with it.

Well, we may never see a fake on the PAT try again... I don't think it happened too much anyway, so whatever. Seems like a Chip Kelly thing to do, and he is crazy enough to still try the fake.
I think I read the successful PAT odds will go from 98% down to 93%.
Will be curious to see if and when the first missed PAT costs a team a win or tie and OT. The team that benefits from the miss will love the change and the team that loses will hate it. I only recall it happening once before the change- that crazy Saints game where they stormed from behind, but failed a final second PAT to tie.

I think you'll see more two point attempts as the season progresses. When the cold, wind and snow become a factor, usually there are more missed kicks and teams may opt for more two point attempts.

Who needs Receivers when you have Travis Kelce?

I wonder if all these analysts on NFL.com still thin Alex Smith is the 5th worst starting QB in the league?

Everyone since the money flashing sign on Draft Day, I have hoped Manziel gets his nuts fed to him. That was unlikely as a backup.
Now there is hope.

Has to be a really disappointing day for Indy as they are getting their ass kicked by the Bills.

If Foles can give the Rams average QB play they could be pretty good this year

To be fair, Luck has faired poorly in openers. 1-2, 5 TD, 5 INT.
He is the anti-Peyton.

Terrible PI call against Chicago. Should have been on the receiver, forearm to the face of the defender
