FFL poll - kicker scoring...
considering the fact that kickers get bonus points for lengthy FG makes, should kickers get negative points for FG misses?

Re: FFL poll - kicker scoring...
i don't mind points against for missing short field goals, i am against points against for missing any field goals. you should not be punished if a kicker misses a 58 yard field goal

Re: FFL poll - kicker scoring...

Re: FFL poll - kicker scoring...
Not that I have a horse in the race, but couldn't you make the same argument about QB's in regards to interceptions or fumbles? How was the weather? Was he hit as he threw? Pressure in his face? Poor blind-side strip sack? Did a receiver tip the ball up or have it ripped away?
Most leagues I've ever done are -1 for all misses, and then a tier for FG's, although if I had it my way (for all fantasysports), I would heavily punish kickers especially for short misses to try to make the consistent guys more valuable and maybe worth a little more than a last round pick or free agent pickup. Same reason that I like leagues that penalize defenses for points and yards. A defense shouldn't be able to only put up a lot of points because of TD's. A defense that gives up 10 points and 250 yards should be 100x more valuable than a defense that gives up 27 points and 450 yards. In many league formats though, the top defense may be worth ~10 points (without TD's), while the latter will be around ~2.

Re: FFL poll - kicker scoring...
I hate agreeing with PC fans...
I wish I had offered the options differently, its actually 5-4 in favor of pts against for misses, there are three folks who haven't voted yet, so we'll see.

Maybe you should at first keep it Smith Hill-local and then follow in the footsteps of Rhode Island's latest gift to the country…..rjsuperfly66 wrote:RR, I can't help it that I'm am a man of the people

You can have a run-off between the two most popular options.Running Ram wrote:I hate agreeing with PC fans...

We really need to get votes on a few different topics.

Re: FFL poll - kicker scoring...
I agree, anyone with any opinions as to rules/scoring changes is welcome to post a poll. We've got to get moving on those so we can get set to go and focus on strategy. Unless, of course everyone is happy with the rules as they were last season.

Re: FFL poll - kicker scoring...
I think we can do it through the league site. I'll take a crack at it tonight and paste the link here so people can vote easily.

I was just going to say, there has to be an option on the league site, right? Otherwise, there wouldn't be any way to prevent everyone from here voting.TruePoint wrote:I think we can do it through the league site. I'll take a crack at it tonight and paste the link here so people can vote easily.

I added a poll for how waiver priority is managed. This is my pet issue for the season. Please do not let me down.
