Quote from: bomber beetle on December 03, 2025, 06:53:59 PMI think we could expect overall scoring to go down.
60 extra touchdowns translates to about 4.2 points per game.
How many fewer field goals? If it averages out to two fewer per game then there is a deficit in overall scoring.
So the big question is: will the game be more entertaining as stated by the commissioner?
At this point, no one can answer that question.

The change was made mostly to encourage offenses to score touchdowns rather than field goals. The three-pointer had become an increasingly common occurrence by 1973. The move achieved the league's desired effect, field goals dropped from a total of 543 successful conversions off 861 attempts in 1973 to 335 field goals made on 553 attempts the following year.

Lions appear to have some of the 2025 SMS left over as well.

Quote from: bluebeard on December 03, 2025, 07:32:18 PMAlso, young Rourke, I believe, was picked in the 7th round of the NFL draft. Not a high draft pick, missed this season due to injury and will have to try to make the 49ers or some other team against higher QB picks in the 2026 dreaft. No doubt, in my mind, that he is getting input from his older brother and what went on for him. This should be interesting to watch.
I also believe that Harris wants to play one more season before heading into a coaching gig. I believe he would be a good OC for someone.
