Scoring by Defenses
Thought I'd add a separate thread for the discussion of D taking place. I am in favor of placing more emphasis on yards allowed than on points scored, perhaps with bonuses for shutouts. The NFL and announcer/pundits may recognize which D is allowing the fewest points, but in terms of ranking defenses it is in total yards allowed. As has been pointed out, a stinker of an offensive showing can spoil an otherwise fine defensive outing. Case in point this year was the Steelers v. Raiders game. Without the stats in front of me, I think the D gave up in the area of 100 total yards. A couple picks were run back, a fumble recovered deep in Steeler territory and three scores on the board the D had little or nothing to do with. If you want to emphasize Defense in FF, emphasize that which the Defense has total control over.

I never mind a tweaking of defensive scoring...I don't mind whatever Greg does with this...
I do wish there was a way to eliminate points given up by defenses, when the offense actually gives up the points on an INT return or Fumble return for a TD.

Marc,
I said the exact same thing in the thread about changes for 2007. I talked about defenses losing points due to their offense having a turnover returned. I think there should be a way to make it "points against defense/special teams..."
