That's a massive advantage, for sure, but it's also a very, very low percentage FG attempt. And if/when you miss, you're giving the other team an even better chance at 3 points. It's not enough to change anything with the game as far as rules to account for it.

It also makes the new rules for KO and where teams start with the ball in various situations really, really stupid. Handing the receiving team the ball on like the 35 or even 40-yard line is just plain stupid.

Would love to see a rule that in order to be eligible to kick a FG the drive has to reach a minimum spot of advancement into the opposing team's territory. Can even be that say they got there on first, but then lost yards on 2nd/3rd and went out, still good enough since they got there at one point.

It cheapens the game; 20 yard line wasn’t ever wrong.
