Question for you football fans…
What would you think about changing the rules to where field goals had different point values based on distance. For example, 30 yards and under is 3 points, 31-40 yards is 4 points, and over 41 yards is 5 points.
It would change the dynamic of the game so that coaches have to make calculations whether or not to attempt a 4 or 5 point field goal in the face of a stiff defense instead trying for the touchdown and perhaps settling on a 3 point field goal. Also, it would precipitate a rash of building domed stadiums.
I haven’t decided if I like it or not, but what do you think? How would it affect the game?
