Teams deliberately losing yardage in certain situations in order to go for a 4 pt fg. Maybe the rule should be 4 pt fgs when they are closer than 40.
How does that differ from driving the ball inside in basketball, then passing the ball outside for a longer, lower-percentage shot in the hopes of more points? While I concede that it could/will happen that in certain circumstances teams might deliberately lose yardages so as to be able to attempt a longer kick, I don't necessarily see it as a problem.
The idea may be seen as a gimmick and die, or it, and the strategies related to it, may become accepted. There is nothing inherently unreasonable about more points from further out because they are certainly more difficult. Most kickers today are very accurate under 40 yards, but many are significantly less accurate over 40. Yaz, for example, made 88% of his field goals from under 40, but only 52% from over 40.
