Didn't read it because I mostly don't care but I think one aspect of this that is very interesting is the following:

Terrible conditions...your team scores late and needs the PAT to tie the game. There is suddenly a lot of pressure on your K to hit a 33 yarder to send the game into OT, or you lose. I think, typically, a K is going to convert this one with ease, but when there is a ton of pressure due to situation, alone, and then throw bad conditions on top of it, it's really going to get interesting. We may find ourselves in just such a scenario... what if Mason has to hit a 33 yarder late and home field advantage is on the line?

This rule definitely amps up the excitement.

Ted Thompson sits on his hands per former GM: "because they’ve had 25 fricking years of great quarterbacks. Of course it works. Try it without a special quarterback."

Jason from Pine Island, MN

With the new PAT rule, would Coach Vic go for the 2-point conversion more often, or would the decision be strictly situational, late in the game as most coaches do now?

Coach Vic thinks kicks will be missed. A couple of misses and Coach Vic would start going for two. Coach Vic believes it would be regrettable to treat the new PAT rules as no big deal.

I love Coach Vic. 🙂 I think I have more respect for Coach T from the Toyota commercials.

I'm sure you love GM Vic as well - you two are cut from the same cloth...if that same cloth was somehow heterogeneous.

Uffda has voiced his displeasure for Vic before. It's why I mentioned the heterogeneous cloth.
