forced fumble

[thechosenone]

we need to vote to allow points for forcing fumbles for next year...yea , i am crying..my player forces a fumble and guru's picks it up and runs it in for a td..... the guy that picks the fumble up gets the points and none for the one who forces the fumble...doesnt seem right?

I agree. But I would like to decrease the points for fumble recovery so we aren't adding points to the defensive positions.

Just so you know, here are the existing scoring rules that we are using:
Number of Passing TDs
Passing Yards
Pass Interceptions Thrown
Passing 2 Pointers
Number of Rushing TDs
Rushing Yards
Rushing 2 Pointers
Number of Receiving TDs
Receiving Yards
Receiving 2 Pointers
Number of Field Goals Made
Extra Points
Number of Punt Return TDs
Number of Kickoff Return TDs
Fumbles Lost (to Opponent)
Number of Defensive Fumble Recovery TDs
Fumble Recoveries (from Opponent)
Number of Offensive Fumble Recovery TDs
Number of Interception Return TDs
Interceptions Caught
Number of Blocked Field Goal TDs
Number of Blocked Punt TDs
Defensive Assists
Tackles
Sacked a QB
Safeties

Fumbles (how about penalizing fumbles that are not lost?)
Fumbles on Offense
Fumbles on Special Teams
Fumbles on Defense

Penalizing a team for having a player that fumbles which is then recovered by the fumbling player's team? Points for nothing? Sounds like HFA.

[Oompa Midgets]

Wow, put the bottle down Commish!

[thechosenone]

i like .... the longer the td the more points it would be worth....

[Oompa Midgets]

I agree. But I would like to decrease the points for fumble recovery so we aren't adding points to the defensive positions.

Like 1 point for the forced and 3 for the recovery?

[Jonathan S.]

No.

[the Man, the Myth...]

Id vote to keep scoring rules the way they are (except for HFA). We have all built our teams according to the current rules. Changing them now could make a big difference in the teams.

[Agitator]

this isn't exactly a league poll.... but i vote NO to adding forced fumbles.
