ts Posted September 14, 2008 Share Posted September 14, 2008 Yes. From the Sportsline BLOG: On the next play Frank Gore fumbles. It's picked up by a Seahawk and fumbled again....bounces around for a good 7 seconds between a sea of players before Seattle DT Craig Terrill has the ball fall in his arms as he jogs into the end zone for the score.

caddyman Posted September 14, 2008 Author Share Posted September 14, 2008 Thanks...MFL is not yet giving credit for the def score. Yes. From the Sportsline BLOG: On the next play Frank Gore fumbles.

Delicious_bass Posted September 14, 2008 Share Posted September 14, 2008 Was the fumble recovery a defensive score? You're on the internet. In the time it took you to create a thread you could have found out for yourself Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
piratesownninjas Posted September 14, 2008 Share Posted September 14, 2008 The question comes up as the DT that scored the TD recovered a fumble from one of his players who at that point could be considered an offensive player... So the better question is if it will be scored as a Defensive TD. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
piratesownninjas Posted September 14, 2008 Share Posted September 14, 2008 You're on the internet. In the time it took you to create a thread you could have found out for yourself It's a valid question that we still don't have an answer to. You're reply was completely uncalled for.

My fault...I was just trying to see if someone that was watching the game could tell me. Sorry to bother a miserable Viking fan. Return to your hole please. Good day!

tomfin2000 Posted September 14, 2008 Share Posted September 14, 2008 (edited) huh? and the alternative would be what exactly?? of course it is a Def TD Offensive fumble recovery for a TD, awared to the player who recovered the fumble and scored in most leagues. I agree with Pirates. I believe that "offense" is defined by which team has possession of the ball, not what set of players are on the field.

Travesty Posted September 14, 2008 Share Posted September 14, 2008 MFL is still not crediting SEA DEF with a TD, and since I started them this week I am getting worried about how this is tracked too. While the NFL game score in MFL GameDay is correct, the TD doesn't even appear on the TD tab. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Holy Roller Posted September 14, 2008 Share Posted September 14, 2008 It should be scored a defensive TD. (BecauseI started the Seattle defense ). Any other logic about a defensive team being an "offensive" team is spurious and illogical. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Travesty Posted September 14, 2008 Share Posted September 14, 2008 Well, I'm feeling a little more confident after I found this info on the MFL "strange plays" scoring details: Defensive Fumble Recovery TD Following A Turnover. Scenario: Team A has the ball and passes or rushes with it. In a pass scenario, Team A throws an interception to Player B1 on Team B. Player B1 subsequently fumbles the ball. The recovery is made by Player B2 on Team B who runs it in for a TD. In a rush scenario, Player A1 on Team A fumbles the ball to Player B1 on Team B. Player B1 subsequently fumbles the ball and the resulting recovery is made by a Player B2 on Team B who runs it in for a TD. Result: Player B2 is awarded an ‘Defensive Fumble Recovery TD’ from the distance from the recovery to the end zone. This looks like the correct scenario from what I read about the play online, unfortunately that game isn't being shown here. I still don't know why it hasn't been added to the stats yet, it's been about an hour already. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bricktop Posted September 14, 2008 Share Posted September 14, 2008 Does anyone here use RTSports? They still haven't rules this a def TD. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomfin2000 Posted September 14, 2008 Share Posted September 14, 2008 Does anyone here use RTSports? They still haven't rules this a def TD. Nope, still not ruled a defensive TD on RTS where I'm starting the Seahawks. I guess they'll correct it at some point if the MFL interpretation applies accross the board.
