Is the distance of field goal measured from the kicking spot or the line of scrimmage?
A field goal is measured from where the ball is kicked from, not from the line of scrimmage. If Team A is kicking a field goal from the 20 yard line, the distance of the field goal would me measured as follows: Length to Goal Line: 20 Yards Length of Endzone: 10 Yards Place of Kick: 7 yards behind the line of scrimmage (typically kicks made from 6 to 7 yards behind the los) Total Distance of Field Goal: 37 yards.

Can a missed field goal be downed by the kicking team?
No if it hits the turf it is a dead ball and place where the line of scrimmage was
Can a team attempt a feelgo on 3rd down miss the kick then get the ball back on 4th down?
I assume you mean "field goal." Yes, this is possible, if the ball is blocked and never crosses the line of scrimmage, and the kicking team recovers. The kicking team could also recover the ball past the line of scrimmage if the kicking team touched the ball first.
Can a block third down field goal be re-kicked?
Yes, as long as the ball never crosses the line of scrimmage and the kicking team recovers.
Have you ever been able to keep possession of the ball after a 3rd down field goal attempt for another try?
Yes. In both college and the NFL, if a field goal attempt does not cross the line of scrimmage and is recovered by the kicking team, they will continue with possession of the ball. This ruling doesn't really come into play on 4th down kicks because the kicking team will lose possession of the ball on downs. But on third down, if a field goal attempt is blocked and the ball does not cross the line of scrimmage, should the kicking team recover the ball they keep possession and it will be fourth down. If the ball crosses the line of scrimmage, possession goes to the defense.
What are the two things you may do after a touchdown?
Attempt an extra (1) point, by kicking a field goal.Attempt a (2)-point conversion by running or passing it, an the line of scrimmage is at the 5-yard line.
Kicking team has their player get hit with ball on shoulder. receiving team gets ball runs down field and fumbles. Kicking team gets ball and runs for a touchdown. Is it a touchdown?
It depends on if the kicking team player was 10 yards past the line of scrimmage and also on whether it was a punt or kick off. If it was a kick off and the player was 10 yards past the line of scrimmage, then it would be a touchdown. If the player was not 10 yards past the line of scrimmage, then it is a penalty. If it is a punt the ball is placed where the player hit the ball.
Can a field goal attempt that hits the crossbar and caroms back into the field of play be legally caught by an offensive lineman in the end zone for a touchdown?
the goal posts are the same as referees; they're considered part of the field. For example, a pass that is incomplete by hitting the ground is ruled a dead ball. So if you hit the referee with the ball with a pass it is a dead ball same with the goal post.
A field goal kicker gets credit for the 7 yards behind the line of scrimmage and the 10 yards to the back of the endzone Why does a punter only get credit from the line of scrimmage?
I believe it's because there is a lot more variables in a punt versus a field goal. A field goal is an attempt to score, so the real distance is used constantly for the kicking team to determine the chance of success. It's a verifyable known distance in a pass/fail test. A made or missed 43 yard field goal is just that, 43 yards. Punts, on the other hand, are attempts to advance the ball. Unless I'm mistaken, the end of the punt is measured from where it is downed, goes out of bounds, or caught so the kicker has the variable of bounce in some cases. He gets credit for a bounce in the direction of the end zone and loses yards for ones that come back toward him. I would also guess that since longer punts are not always desired (due to touch backs) total distance is not nearly as important stat as hang time. Finally, almost all field goals are seven yards behind the LOS, while punts vary in lin up distance (12-15 yards)
Using NFL rules can a blocked field goal be recovered by the kicking team behind the line of scrimmage and thrown for a touchdown?
If it doesn't cross the line of scrimmage and the kicking team recovers the ball, the kicking team can kick again on the next down. This happened this week in Iowa vs Northern Iowa. Read about it here: http://scores.espn.go.com/ncf/recap?gameId=292482294
Who had the longest run from scrimmage Arizona or Pittsburgh in 2009 Super bowl?
The longest rushing play from scrimmage was a 15 yard run by the Steelers' Willie Parker in the 3rd period. The run took the ball from the Cardinals' 20 yard line to their 5 yard line and gave the Steelers a 1st and goal. The Steelers wound up kicking a field goal on this drive.
What are two factors that effect the strength of an electric field?
The strength of an electric field is influenced by two factors: the magnitude of the charge creating the field, and the distance from the charge at which the field is being measured. The larger the charge and the closer the distance, the stronger the electric field will be.
If a field goal is attempted on third down and missed do you still get the fourth down?
According the the nfl.com website once a field goal is missed the other team takes control of the football no matter what down it is.Here's the quote from nfl.com:All field goals attempted (kicker) and missed from beyond the 20-yard line will result in the defensive team taking possession of the ball at the spot of the kick. On any field goal attempted and missed where the spot of the kick is on or inside the 20-yard line, ball will revert to defensive team at the 20-yard line.Doesn't mention anything about downs. No. The reason you might sometimes see a team try for the field goal on 3rd down is in case of a bad snap or something they can spike the ball, throw to a receiver or just run with it and still have fourth down to try the field goal. If the ball fails to cross the line of scrimmage and the offense recovers, they get to kick it again. This usually only happens on a blocked kick. This applies on any down other than 4th. If the offense recovers on 3rd down, the next play would be 4th down. If the offense recovered on 4th down and didn't gain the necessary yards to make a 1st down, it would be a turnover on downs.The above answer is correct. As long as the ball does not cross the line of scrimmage on a blocked kick and the offensive team recovers the ball, the team may attempt another field goal as long as the blocked attempt did not occur on fourth down.
