How would this score against Evans though? They can't retroactively give the other team the ball so it is like a fumble out of bounds, meaning no points off.
I just lost in my Yahoo league for the same stat correction. Lee Evans went from 11 yds, no fumble lost to 10 yds, 1 fumble lost. The box score to the game on Yahoo and NFL.com show 11 yds, no fumble. I just e-mailed Yahoo to complain.
a fumble is a fumble. it doesnt matter if the other team's offense comes on the field. this is no different than a qb throwing a hail mary at the end of the game and having it picked off. it still counts as an int even though the game is over.if anything yahoo must have made a scoring error upfront on their live scoring.
But if a player fumbles and his teammates recover it or it goes out of bounds the player isn't penalized for a fumble. At least not in any of the leagues I have played in. If a player fumbles the ball and then falls on it himself, is that counted?
at all people sending e-mails to complain when in fact you are WRONG. Leagues who attributed a fumble to Lee Evans are indeed correct.
08) 7-J.Losman pass short right to 83-L.Evans to NE 49 for 11 yards (99-M.Wright). Caught in flat at BUF 47. P908) 7-J.Losman pass short right to 83-L.Evans to NE 49 for 10 yards (99-M.Wright). FUMBLES (99-M.Wright), RECOVERED by NE-27-E.Hobbs at 50. 27-E.Hobbs to BUF 45 for 5 yards.
I didn't know the half stopped the other offense from taking the field. I was wrong.
The play reads like this in the gamebook
2-4-BUF 40
End of half - 2:17 pm
It should have read like this:
2-4-BUF 40
End of half - 2:17 pm
So the correction you have to make to your leagues is this:
L Evans minus 1 receiving yard
L Evans plus one fumble lost
M Wright plus one forced fumble
E Hobbs plus one fumble recovery
Leagues that fixed this are correct.
Evans did not fumble out of bonds by the way. If you saw the game, you would not use that argument.
What's MFL's rule on stat changes? Most leagues I am in allow stat changes until Sunday 1pm. Any stat change made more than a week after the game are dismissed. Not sure about MFL.
your correction is wrong as I stated the post before yours. Assuming your last statement "should have read" is correct.He'd get 1 more catch and 10 more receiving yards(IE pass short right to Evans for 10 yards)

As I mentioned, I noticed the fumble creditted to him and the D but not the catch+yards. You can't fumble unless you establish posession. By establishing posession, it's a catch.
ETA-Your first statement of 11 yard pass was NOT creditted to him
My correction is correct. I don't understand what you are confused about. He does not get one more catch. He only caught the ball once all game long. Why would he get two?
Even if the NFL updates their website next month instead of tomorrow, it won't change the fact that Evans fumbled and that the Elias Sports Bureau correctly fixed the stats. Take the situation in reverse, if you were on the losing end of your matchup and your opponent had Evans, and you saw the game, you would be screaming for your league to fix the problem. You have no leverage in this case. Evans fumbled.
Depends on your scoring. Most leagues go -2 for a Fumble Lost, some do -2 for any fumble. I do -1 for a fumble and -1 for a fumble lost. (I personally think this is best as a fumble is either -1 or -2 depending on whether your team recovers it.)
Interesting. Makes more sense that way as a fumble is a fumble even if the player gets lucky and his team recovers. Just like the NFL, less negative if they can recover. I like it.
857I just looked it up.
