简单说
NFL 考虑全面废除加踢 extra point, 以后只要 TD 就是七分.
你可以选择用传统进攻方式拿第八分, 不过如果失败 TD 就变六分.
基本上没有太大差异, 只是把加踢分该成自动算进而已..
文中说支持这项改革的论点是
本季 1200 次加踢只有五球没踢进,
在 pro-football level 加踢只是浪费时间而已
(有点好奇踢丢那五球的是那些人???)

NFL considering proposal to abolish extra points
Speaking Monday, NFL commissioner Roger Goodell said the league could
eventually abolish the extra point.
"The extra point is almost automatic," Goodell said. "I believe we had five
missed extra points this year out of 1,200 some odd. So it's a very small
fraction of the play, and you want to add excitement with every play."
Goodell said the league is intrigued by a proposal that would automatically
grant seven points for every touchdown, but still allow teams to try for an
eighth point via a traditional offensive play. The catch is that if you fail
to convert, the touchdown then becomes worth only six points. Perhaps the
most perfunctory play in sports, extra points serve almost no purpose at the
professional level.
