Personally, no, but I’m also not in charge of a billion dollar brand (nor am I the head of a billion dollar brand who endorses the NFL/it’s players). As someone who works in branding, if I were employed by the NFL, I’d probably greatly value cohesion and also understand that if you permit one player to deviate from…

It HAS to be a blanket rule. It’s all or none. Why should the NFL ask itself, “Is this player’s sob story enough to warrant him wearing (insert color) all season?”...

What’s the realistic solution here? Should every player be allowed to wear pink for every game? And then, why discriminate at pink? Why not baby blue for prostate cancer? Or (insert color here) for (insert terminal illness here)? The line has to be drawn somewhere, no?

If a team had a kicker, in the past 20 years, who missed 95% of PATs from the 2-yard line, and thought they had a 50% 2-point-conversion rate, they’re probably really idiotic for not going for 2 (at least some of the time). You wouldn’t be making a case for their intelligence, you’d be making a case for them not…

Do you really think a sample size of 11 is indicative of anything? Additionally, do you really think offenses, who now have a justified reason to structure and practice a 2-point-conversion playbook, should be compared to the past?

Uhm...because the rule has changed from the two-yard line to the 15 yard line, thus dropping the efficiency of PAT’s made. How can you possibly disregard a yard 13-yard difference? Did you not read this article (or any of the other statistics-based articles pertaining to this?).

I don’t think any coach, Belichick or other, has the sample size of information needed to effectively calculate anything pertaining to this brand new rule.

Why do you hope that your team doesn’t try more extra points? I’d like to see which statistics you’re using to justify “playing it safe”. While judgment calls are easy (lazy) to make in most cases, this particular instance involves easily quantifiable elements, and thus, should be assessed based on those numbers.
