I thought that was the point. Move it back another 5 yards I say and things will get even more interesting.

I agree. I think 40 yards for the extra point, and we would start seeing a much more interesting decision to go for 2 or take the "free" point.

I think that will take time, but the last I saw, 2 point tries were on pace to more than double this year. I'm not sure how many are simply to "make up for" an earlier missed PAT, and how many are strategic, but Mike Tomlin went for two when he went up 6-0 in the first quarter of a game earlier this year.

Their placekicker had totally lost it at one point; they canned him, but for a stretch in one game I think they went to all 2-point conversions or went for it on 4th down.
