2 point conversion rules

Rudy5757 : 1/30/2023 10:27 am
I have seen the Eagles do this multiple times where they show they are going for 2 to try to get a penalty so its at the 1 yard line. If they dont get the call they call a timeout and then kick.

Does anyone else see this as a bad rule? I think once you declare what you are doing to the refs you have should have to stay with that decision since its a difference in where the ball is placed.

I guess its not that big of a deal but I dont like that rule.
Everything the Eagle coaches do annoy me

Seems he’s wasted a timeout each time, hasn’t he?

It so happened to occur at the end of halves, so worth it for them at that time. In those cases, I think that’s just great coaching. Especially for a team who takes “advantage” of the rules on and short situations…
Nothing wrong with it at all.

There are many reasons to hate the Eagles. This isn't one of them.
agree that it's legal and good coachmanship  
LittleBlue : 1/30/2023 10:46 am : link
but it's annoying and the league should put a new rule in to stop it, if only because it wastes tv time and extends games needlessly.

changing a rule that is a legal yet also a silly exploitation would be similar to the change they made on the multiple different penalties keeping the clock running rule a few years ago.
I loved it because he tried it twice and it didn't

Work even though he said "I know what the F--k I' m doing " when apparently his team doesn't. And foolish the second time because the 9ers knew "what F--k he was doing." He s an arrogant idiot who's trying to act like the next Belichick but isn't close. And we haven't seen it done before for the very reason it cost him two timeouts. Eagles are a team I hate and didn't like Reid when he coached them. But I now like Reid ok since he left. Sirriani is a coach I ll loathe even when he eventually loses and goes to another team.

I have a hunch that the line up for two during the Super Bowl and run the play… if I were calling the play ( the thought makes me barf-) I would hurry to the line set for one count and snap the ball. KC has to be ready for that and stuff the shit outta it! Would love to hear a KC defender say “ shut the F##k up- we know what you’re doing 🥴👍
The rule should be changed, but until it is coaches will take

advantage of it and shouldn't be blamed for it.
Im not blaming the Eagles for doing it

I just think it's a bad rule mainly because it affects ball placement. Its the same as if a team commits a penalty on an extra point kick. They declared they are kicking, they shouldnt be allowed to chance to a 2 point conversion at the 1 yard line because of a penalty when the ball was spotted at the 20 originally. Its an odd situation because of the ball placement.

So you lineup for 2 and get an offside you still have to go for 2 at the 7 yard line instead of then being allowed to gofor one at the 25. If the ball was placed at the same spot it wouldnt matter but since its different I think once you choose you are stuck with that decision.
Why change the rule  
section125 : 1/31/2023 10:04 am : link
it costs them a timeout.

The rule that should change is the pushing the runner rule. It has gotten ridiculous. Line up with two big people in the backfield and shove the QB forward.

carry over timeouts, good call at the end of a half. And now there is a pattern, which they can break against next opponent
