Guys, I think we have talked about this potential rule change every year of the NFFC and we even included it in the NFFC members survey last year, and there wasn't a desire to provide points to the individual player AND the Special Teams/Defensive team. I understand your frustration when it comes to someone like Royal or Devin Hester scoring on special teams when you have him in your starting lineup, but there wasn't a consensus among NFFC players to give two owners 6 points on one play. Instead, the team that drafted that Special Teams (with the knowledge that Hester or Royal led that unit) gets those points.BillyWaz wrote:I agree Henry. Played against the Denver D a few years back and had Eddie Royal. Eddie caught ZERO balls in the game, but returned TWO TD's. I ended up losing by 7 or 8 points. So basically my own player (by doing well and scoring TD's) cost me the win.Henry Muto wrote:If it was a run then the guy running the ball gets a rushing TD. This makes sense to me but what doesn't make sense is when my guy scores a TD on a PR or KR TD and he gets nothing. So if had Cobb playing tonight I would be rooting against my own player ? Now that makes no sense. To have to root against your own guy because if he scores you get nothing and it takes him off the field for any more chances to score. Said it once said it 1,000 times that is the only thing wrong with this contest that you have to root against your own player because that never makes sense.
Some may not like that in the NFFC and some may like it, but until I see an overwhelming sea change to pay two owners 6 points for one play we'll have to give it to just one scorer and at this point that is the ST/D.
