Scoring
First off, I don't think any changes in scoring should be made until after the season. But it does strike me as wrong that Plummer get 72 points for his game. And Manning gets 77pts. Although Plummer had 499yds, he also had 3 ints. Just like I thought the TE scoring last year was overblown, I think the QB scoring this year's been off.
On a bigger level, I talked w/Joe about whether the scoring should be so geared toward super performances. Now the real points come if your player goes ape-shit. If your RB gets
50yds, 2pts,
100yd, 10pts,
150yds, 16pts,
200yds, 36pts.
Players who give solid performances aren't rewarded likely the erratic ones who give super performances every once in a while.
Specific ideas:
Turnovers should be penalized more. Fumbles lost and INT's are huge in the course of a game. Thus, they should count almost as much as a score, say -4.
Solid performances should be rewarded more, ape-shit performances should be rewarded less, i.e. 1pt for 10yds rushing, w/a 5 pt bonus for 100yds, and 10pt bonus for 200yds.

i like the ape shit performance bumps - mostly cause those games don't happen too often.
need i remind you that plummer threw for 4 or 5 td's along with his 3 int's and almost 500 yards? even if the penalty for INT's was -4, he would still have netted 66 points.
we'll have to have a scoring "come to jesus" before next season. we are always adjusting the scoring each year, so i don't see how next year would be any different.
oh, and i never would adjust scoring DURING the season - that's like taking the 3 point line back 2 feet afer 40 games of an NBA season. ain't gonna happen.
Weekly point fest for some ... but not for all!
