quest Posted September 14, 2012 Share Posted September 14, 2012 Was the fake field goal attempt considered a Special Teams play or offensive TD? As of now, CBS scores it as an offensive TD. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big John Posted September 14, 2012 Share Posted September 14, 2012 Offensive. The ball was never kicked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grits and Shins Posted September 14, 2012 Share Posted September 14, 2012 Special teams ... the special teams unit was on the field, not the offense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexgaddis Posted September 14, 2012 Share Posted September 14, 2012 Special teams ... the special teams unit was on the field, not the offense. you serious Clark? all that shows up in the box score is Crabtree pass from Masthay... offensive TD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big John Posted September 14, 2012 Share Posted September 14, 2012 Special teams ... the special teams unit was on the field, not the offense. Only if they changed the rules. In 2001 a fake FG by Urlacher was officially ruled an offensive TD. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cunning Runt Posted September 14, 2012 Share Posted September 14, 2012 (edited) Only if they changed the rules. In 2001 a fake FG by Urlacher was officially ruled an offensive TD. BIG difference in how it's technically scored and how my eyeball test scores it.Technically it was an offensive play, but to me, that was 100% a special teams play.

Grits and Shins Posted September 14, 2012 Share Posted September 14, 2012 Only if they changed the rules. In 2001 a fake FG by Urlacher was officially ruled an offensive TD. That doesn't make sense to me ... The play is designed for the special teams unit, practiced by the special teams unit and executed by the special teams unit ... why wouldn't it be a special teams score? While I believe you when you say that is the way the NFL will score it ... is seems inane to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bdub1988 Posted September 14, 2012 Share Posted September 14, 2012 I wish it was a special teams TD...seems like if the special teams unit is on the field that's how it should be scored. I am disappoint. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikesMarauders Posted September 14, 2012 Share Posted September 14, 2012 (edited) The team kicking the ball is still the offence until the ball is kicked Edited September 14, 2012 by MikesMarauders Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cunning Runt Posted September 14, 2012 Share Posted September 14, 2012 The team kicking the ball is still the offence even on a punt the recieving team is the special team (kickoff I believe they are ruled as special team) Technically, probably correct. But there's no way for purposes of FF scoring, that should not be a special teams score. And also, those points should not be counted as points allowed by defense if your scoring is set up that way.

Cunning Runt Posted September 14, 2012 Share Posted September 14, 2012 The team kicking the ball is still the offence until the ball is kicked Then there is never technically a special teams play....only offense or defense.

In my league scoring it goes by the offical scoring of the NFL which takes away people in the league complaing about strange scoring plays there even a rule with the def can offically become the offense and the TD is ruled as a offensive Td Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brentastic Posted September 14, 2012 Share Posted September 14, 2012 Offensive. The ball was never kicked. This is the correct answer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chief Dick Posted September 14, 2012 Share Posted September 14, 2012 This is why I come to the huddle. You see a new play like that for the first time, and you get some good spirited debate on how it should be ruled. Good stuff guys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skhyatt Posted September 14, 2012 Share Posted September 14, 2012 Lot's of good points. If it's offensive, then obviously the defense has to be charged with a TD allowed. I think it will be scored as an offensive play, but not sure if I agree or not. Isn't the punt team "special teams"? Only thing I know for sure is that I am pretty sure I like cunning runt's avatar. Assuming that my eyes are not deceiving me and that's what I think it is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DuckDuckGoose Posted September 14, 2012 Share Posted September 14, 2012 It's a offensive TD. Your technically still offense as you have Four downs of play. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

keggerz Posted September 14, 2012 Share Posted September 14, 2012 (edited) Nobody gets points for that play in an IDP league ... nobody is starting the punter or the backup TE. Actually we do start punters in ATAP and FI-IDP :oldrazz: Edited September 14, 2012 by keggerz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
