Rule change for next year.

Not sure how we missed this, but Fum lost is -2 and an INt is -1. My feeling is they should either both be -2 or both be -1. An offensive tunrover is an offensive turnover.

I think that the idea is that a fumble is the responsibility of the player that loses it (whether through great 'D' or carelessness), whereas a pick may be the result of a poor throw by the QB or by a terrible play be the receiver. Since it's a 50/50 situation, -1 on the picks.

Hmmmm.... I definitely see your logic on that one, so I'm good, but I'd still like to review it next year and take a vote, even though I'm sure we discussed this before this seaon, your presented this logic and I agreed.

What about when a center screws up the exchange or a QB doesn't get the ball to the RB properly?

The question is do we have statistics on that one? As a former receiver, it was never my fault, when my guy threw a pick.

It's a good idea to discuss, as I'd also like to throw in the idea of neg points for missing chip shot FG's.

Hey, when you me and the Admir0l get together for the league meeting we'll just tack that on to the agenda.

Good Point. Action Item on the agenda. You know the RA does not like the neg points for missing chippies, can we just overrule him?

Well, it will be 2-1 in our league vote, so I don't see why not (this isn't church, we don't need a fucking quorum).
