      Some people miss extra points and others miss their fathers who they never met.

      Me, personally, I miss extra points since my father was always here for me.

        And in the same week Carpenter has his best game in recent memory.

          I wonder if this week will make more teams realize going for it on two might be better than kicking the longer XP. I think Pittsburgh is the only team I regularly see doing it.

            Yeah, I didn't think I would like that rule-change, but it's made things more interesting.

            I like it too...unless, of course, it's Carpenter that misses the XP.

              The whole point of moving the XP kick back was to not make it an irrelevant and automatic 1-point play. It's working. I like it too.

                You like it because the Bills got a cheap win when they looked lousy.

                  From the B'gals fan site...

                  He hit the same upright twice. Who does that? It can't be wider than the football."

                      I have no idea if this is true but it seems like kickers are missing the extra point at a much higher % than they miss 33-yard field goals

                        Yep, our soccer flunky was better than their soccer flunky, and that's why we won.

                          They went from kicking maybe 8-10 30-35 yard FGs a year to 40-50 so tough to judge. Not enough sample size IMO to compare %

                            There's plenty of data to look at, kickers have been kicking 30 yard field goals since I was born.

                              Different when you kick one a game if that and then go to kicked 2-4 a game. Kicking is mental too. Different pressure and once you miss one it's in your head. Uncomparable if you ask me. One of those things that's the same but diffferent
