Why do we give bonus points for long fgs? It's like giving bonuses for long plays which is dumb

I'm indifferent toward long FG, but -4 for a missed extra point is crazy. -1 at most.

Yeah, missed FGs can be from blocked kicks, which shouldn't necessarily reflect on the kicker.

if you only get 1 pt for an XP, then it should only be -1 for a miss, imo.

some people get annoyed and take offense when talking about things like this.

I'm cool with -1, but give the extra +1 bonus for the 50+ yard FGs.



Kicking 50 yarders isn't easy, and getting -1 for attempting it should be offset by getting +1 for making it.

Touchdown passes and runs of 50 yards aren't easy. But you don't get extra points.

And yes, you can't bring up issues in a TDxx league without being a contrarian

same guy who told me to set it up and tell others to quit if they didn't like it

I like the kicking changes though. Defense needsbto stay put.

..but QB/RB/WR/TE get points for yards gained. Should we dropped that and go to a TD-Only league?

Exactly. So I see no problem with giving PKs a bonus point.

In fact, I wish we gave them more. They get so little in regards to points scored that they will not be a factor in draft strategy. Everyone will be drafting them in the 12th round or later.

..and ended up leading to the dropping of the bonus point for making a 50+ yarder.

Unless you reward points for kickers based on every 10 yards (ie 2 points for 20 yarders, 3 for 30 yarder 4 for 40 yarder etc) then your point doesn't stand.

By only rewarding 50 yarders, you are rewarding a "big play", which isn't in tune with everything else.

i don't care what the scoring ends up being. doesnt change the fact that some of yous don't like people who discuss/challenge things

I'd like to know who you are referring to, because pretty much every active member in TDBL has approached me about at least one rule modification over the past year.

Port has a point. You basically tell him to set the shite up and you will play the way it is, then you question the shite two days before the first draft. Deal with it.


Besides, these were all rules voted on by league members when the initial league was formed. Sure, it has expanded by ten members, but none of the rules seemed to matter until now.

And LOL at CE for thinking I was serious when I gave him shite a couple of weeks ago.
