Tom [Giants fan] Posted January 4, 2013 Share Posted January 4, 2013 Would you want the NFL to implement where the defense could return a 2 point attempt if they recover a fumble or intercept the attempt? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigMike21 Posted January 4, 2013 Share Posted January 4, 2013 Absolutely. Some of the most exciting plays in college football. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrypticVillain Posted January 4, 2013 Share Posted January 4, 2013 Heck yeah. You should always face some consequences if you turn the ball over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Sinister Posted January 4, 2013 Share Posted January 4, 2013 I dunno. I'd rather leave that in college. Same with starting out on a short field in OT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IONTOP Posted January 4, 2013 Share Posted January 4, 2013 Absolutely... Let's say you're on D, your team is up by 8, the Offense scores and goes for 2 to tie the game, you intercept it and take it to the house. No longer is it a "no-lose" gamble for the offense (Kick the PAT and be down by 1 or go for two and either be down by 2 or tied), now they're down by 4, a field goal no longer ties the game, they MUST score a TD...

TheMalcolmConnection Posted January 4, 2013 Share Posted January 4, 2013 It's one of those things that I'd love because it's not going to HURT the game in any way. Just only will add more excitement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan T. Posted January 4, 2013 Share Posted January 4, 2013 Kinda related, did anybody see the 1 point safety on an extra point try in the Oregon/Kansas State game? One of the oddest things I've ever seen in football. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Blue Joe Posted January 4, 2013 Share Posted January 4, 2013 That would be awesome. It adds more interest to one of the more exciting plays in football with very little increase in injury risk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rodriggo Posted January 4, 2013 Share Posted January 4, 2013 For 2 pts? Nah. That means they can return an extra point too? So hypothetically you pick it off on a 2pt and lose a fumble on the return, does the offense get a 1st and 10 and the ball back if they recover?

Mania Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 Yes and currently I don't even think it counts as an interception in the stats Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Veretax Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 I think any extra point returned by the defense should be a 2 pt play. Would make the XP mean something more now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roger.Staubach Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 Like everyone else, I am in agreement. Any play, IMO, should be 'returnable'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wysknz1 Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 definitely. any time there is a chance for the offense to score the defense should be able to score points off turnovers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pjfootballer Posted January 8, 2013 Share Posted January 8, 2013 I like that there are differences is in the pro gam to the college game. At this point, I'd say no. I did like when the NFL introduced the 2 pt conversion attempt, but I'm not a big fan of this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So hypothetically you pick it off on a 2pt and lose a fumble on the return, does the offense get a 1st and 10 and the ball back if they recover? No, nothing happens. The play is an un-timed attempt at either 1pt (kick) or 2pt (play). After that play is over, game moves to kickoff. I would really like to see this change implemented. I can remember watching a game a couple of years ago when one team scored late to up by one point. Went for 2 to make difference 3 points, but defending team got turn over and ran back for 2 points. Huge change in game and certainly an exciting play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
