defense/special teams question (1 Viewer)

[Mentos]

I am playing in a CBS Sportsline league this year. D/ST owners are getting screwed when the offense of their D/ST allows touchdowns. It makes no sense to me. I have played almost exclusively at Yahoo! in my fantasy football career. Yahoo! handles this matter more sensibly.

Example- one matchup in Week 5 ended 113-113. One of the teams had the Saints defense/special teams. All 30 of the points the Saints allowed were charged against the one team. The problem is that the Saints defense/special teams only allowed 16 points. The Saints offense allowed 14. If CBS Sportsline only charged the Saints D/ST with 16 points allowed, then it would break the tie and the one team would win 117-113.

I have the Steelers D/ST. It is as if I own all the individual Steelers defensive players and special teamers. I do not own Ben Roethlisberger. If Roethlisberger throws a pick six on Sunday, my team should not be penalized for that. Do you understand what I mean?

Now, if I am missing something here, please let me know. I just do not understand this at all.

Your commissioner needs to change the scoring system.

You want Defensive Points Against or Points Against Defense/ST depending on what you want to do but you are saying you don't want Points Against, Total Points Score.

Those are 3 options you have to choose from on Defense.

Thanks for responding. In this league there is no penalty if your quarterback fumbles or throws an interception. As the league's settings stand at this time, when I face off against the Ben Roethlisberger owner, I would be the one getting screwed if Roethlisberger throws a pick six! So a Roethlisberger pick six-owner of Roethlisberger- no penaltyowner of Pitt D/ST- big penalty
