    I honestly dont know what to choose. I would have said this year as there are several kickers that can do it, but they just never get the chance unless its to win the game on the last play. Coaches just dont allow trying it

    2026 Regular/Post Season

    I would think it would likely happen early in a season when a kickers leg is freshest and the weather for the outdoor venues is overall more conducive. But on the other end of the spectrum, it's also possible it could happen at any point in a season in an indoor venue. I chose next season thinking it will happen in a September or October game before weather becomes a factor in the outdoor venues. It would have to be a perfect scenario, maybe an end of the half why not deal.

    field goals are getting too easy. I think it is making end game situations less exciting. if a team starts at their own 35 yard line, they only need 25 or so yards to kick a game winner.

    I think they should pull an MLB circa 1969 and shrink those goalposts. narrow them down by 3 or 4 feet. make it interesting again. they have somewhat of a precident as they moved extra points further away.

    Never

    I think the NFL will go back to the K ball within a year or two.

    The Vikings have a guy who might be able to do it, but idiot KOC will just go for it on 4th down instead.
