They really should give the genius a seat on the essentially useless competition committee. He is all about competitive situational football. I'd never really thought about it but point after attempts are the most boring plays on the books. I like his idea of rather than eliminating them moving them back to the point the kick isn't a chipshot gimme.
I'm OK with the change in the kickoff rules because I think while it will eliminate some explosive returns it will hopefully also reduce the number of explosive return hits. And it really strategivcally ups the ante in rolling the dice on taking the kick out.

“Philosophically, plays that are non-plays shouldn’t be in the game,” Belichick said, via Mike Reiss of ESPNBoston.com. “I don’t think it is good for the game. Extra points, when you’re up to the 99 percent range in extra points it’s not a play. Let’s move the ball back to the 15-20 yard line and not make it a tap in. Make them kick it. Same thing with the kickoff return, if you’re just going to put the ball on the 20, put the ball on the 20.”
