heehawks Posted May 4, 2017 Share Posted May 4, 2017 (edited) About time. My local used to have the best rule ever for our Def/ST. If your special teams had a kickoff or punt return against them, it would be -7 pts! Changed many a game and made it really fun to watch def/st. Once we went to online for our league, haven't been able to get any site to do it. Edited May 4, 2017 by heehawks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So they would get a -7 and you would get the 6/7 for the D/ST TD? Yeah...I can see why no site will do that.

However, there was nothing more exhilirating like being down 4 or 5 with no players left and only the oppenent's D/ST on Monday night and having Meggett rip off a 50 yd punt return late in the game to give you the win!!

I always read Meggett's name with Summerall's voice. Ah, the good old days... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He gets 6 for the TD and you lose 6 (or whatever) for the shutout. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't play FF on ESPN but it sounds like theyre catching up to what other sites have done for a while. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
