Field goals are pretty much only interesting to watch when they're blocked or they're for the game for me. I totally see where Extha's coming from there.
I'd rather see a 0-0 defensive lockdown than a 21-0 field goal barrage. After the first two field goals the game is no longer close and would probably put you to sleep with the combination of the team that's behind not showing any signs of life and a lack of big plays from either team (since defensive stops don't matter as much if the team behind can't stop them from extending their lead and the team ahead is already ahead)
