Goodell doesn't care. He's a stupid fuck that believes video game like stats and scores is "entertainment value"

But it turns out he's right, the younger crowd this shit appeals to is raised on video games and instant gratification, and the old ways NFL would just bore them to tears.

But they don't/didnt watch Arena League or CFL etc etc and those were stat/score happy leagues with tons of rules that favored the offense.
Its lousy football.

I definitely agree with the bolded but we're in a new era where there's got to be video game stats and video game scoring. When you see old timers like Mike Ditka calling last year's Dallas/Denver game a "great game" you know you've lost the battle, and lost the game of football forever.
Because it was NOT a "great game." Far from it. But they call it that because it was video game stats, video game scoring.
They want the younger, OCD, instant gratification, low information idiot gamer/doper watching NFL football in his mom's basement, even if just for a few minutes. They want to be considered "cool."

And furthermore, when a old school defense and team like Seattle chews up the video game team in the Soup Bowl, they get all upset and the next year vow to more aggressively enforce the passing game defensive rules - because we just can't have mean old bullies who still play nasty smash mouth football ruining a good time for anyone.

I cant stand it, its the main reason I find most college football games boring as shit now. No defense, all offense. No tackling. Too many fucking penalties. I used to watch as much as I could, now I only watch a couple games a weekend of college at most.

Yep, I bet that's part of the thinking. The NFL seems to be getting more and more like the NBA in marketing its stars over the game or the team, and of course the biggest stars are the QBs. I'm sure they don't like seeing their marquee QBs having terrible days.

I'd seriously consider going for two every time.

You might as well go for two all the time already then. The odds aren't going to change significantly.

Getting one point from the two y/l is better odds than getting one as a 33 yarder, you're sure right about that. But it's also better odds than getting the two from scrimmage. BUT.... if you make the 2 pointer 50% of the time there's no difference at all.
Shoot, what if ya make the 2 pointer 60% of the time?
I think it's well worth it to just go for two every time and forget the kicking stuff. Especially when you put in a good number of special plays just for it. Might even make your team a better red zone team overall.
