FG’s…food for thought

[slanidrac16]

It’s the bye week so some food for thought.
It use to be a 50 yard fg was a big deal. It has now become the norm. When you watch these guys kicking 55-60 yard fg’s and seeing they clearly could have made it from 60-65 and sometimes more.
I think it won’t be long before the NFL narrows the width of the uprights. If the NFL sees this as a problem what would their options be?
Limited fg attempts to 50 yards or less? Seems absurd.
Lessen the point value of fg’s? Equally absurd.

Hey, maybe you or the NFL doesn’t see this as a problem.

What say you?

Scoring is down. The last thing the NfL wants to do is have fewer points.

Teams are also going for it more than ever on fourth down.

Going for it > field goal > punts

You’re advocating for more punts. We’re gonna stop everything right now until we figure out what’s going on.

Seems like you are trying to make something out of nothing.

Just because kickers skill has increased is a good thing. If it ain’t broke don’t fix it!

No no. I’m not advocating this. I don’t know if it’s even a problem.
I thought about it and then I heard and sport show host bring it up.
You are certainly correct about causing more punts.

I certainly can see the NFL trimming a few feet from the width of the goal post or even adding a couple more uprights and giving 4 points instead of 3 rewarding higher accuracy.

Ima go a step further and say the NFL should ban the kicker AND punter as specialists. Your QB has to kick field goals and punt.
