May 28, 201313 yr Author Also, when I think about changes to the league I look at what will make the league better, not just what’s going to help me. If I was going to try to look out for me then we would have went to 3 keepers a few years back when I had 2 stud RBs and a stud QB (kind of like this year). This league has been strong for 10 years and I don’t want me or us to damage that. We have people standing in line for a spot in our league. We still have 9 of the original 16 members. So, yes lots of other leagues take away points for every mistake, but those leagues score a lot more points. Yes leagues give .9 points if you get nine yards and don’t wait for the tenth yard to get a full point. But this is not T-Ball and you should earn what you get. So earn the full point and leave the decimal points to the amateurs. I think we should change the defense scoring to add the yardage bonus. I don’t think it add a major amount of points and will add to the league. I also like NamecipS idea that a shut out should be worth big points and we should change that from 10 to 15 points. Those are just my thoughts.
May 28, 201313 yr Author Im so confused.Probably because I had to wait until I got to work to finish my thoughts. My last three posts go together.

May 28, 201313 yr I get what your saying Godot and I'm fine if no changes are made but I don't really get this part... Yes leagues give .9 points if you get nine yards and don’t wait for the tenth yard to get a full point. But this is not T-Ball and you should earn what you get. So earn the full point and leave the decimal points to the amateurs. Well the player did earn those 9 yards we just didn't.
May 28, 201313 yr I get what your saying Godot and I'm fine if no changes are made but I don't really get this part... Well the player did earn those 9 yards we just didn't. Really no different than earning 1 point for every 20 yards the QB throws. No one has even brought up that in the whole argument, everyone seems fine with it. For some reason though everyone is bringing it up in regards to the RB.
May 28, 201313 yr If we don't make any changes and everything was exactly the way it was last year, I'd still be perfectly content. I love this league and glad that I've continually been able to be a part of it for as many years as I have. I don't know about the rest of you guys, but this league makes me much better in my $$$ league. This league single handley brought me back to BGP when I went through a brief hiatus in college. Do whatever you think is best Godot!

For some reason though everyone is bringing it up in regards to the RB. Should be changed as well. My Yahoo league gives decimal points for each passing yard, totaling 1 point for every 20 yards. So if you pass for 10 yards, that is .5. I don't understand how you cannot count those yards if they were "earned", just like HammerTime said earlier.
May 28, 201313 yr The feeling I've gained from this league is that Godot is very unwilling to make changes to the league. Sorry, but that is just how it seems. Go check out standard fantasy leagues and this league is lacking a lot of things that standard leagues are using. This league was created what, 10 years ago or something, and fantasy football has evolved a lot since then. It just seems this league is stuck behind the times.

This league was created what, 10 years ago or something, and fantasy football has evolved a lot since then. It just seems this league is stuck behind the times. Standard fantasy leagues on ESPN don't use decimals and my league has 20 members and been around for about 10 years and no one has ever asked for decimals. What is the league lacking that other standard leagues are using? Seems fine to me. I pray you aren't talking about Individual Defensive Players. That's the dumbest concept in the history of fantasy football.

This league is behind times? Funniest thing I've heard. I've never played in a fantasy league that uses decimal points. I can guarantee you that standard yahoo and ESPN leagues do not. There are changes made to this league. If you wanted decimal and other things then maybe this league isn't for everyone. I love this league and its 10x better than any other league I've played in.

Considering I play in two more money leagues that says a lot.
