Default Re: Close game in question?

FYI, I posted a question on the FFLM support boards... you can follow the discussion here:

The 1st response totally supported my opinion, as does FFLM/MFL's official scoring... here's their take on blocked kicks:

Another common question we get is "The NFL team XXX blocked a kick this week - why aren't you reporting it as a blocked kick?" The NFL characterizes "blocked" kicks differently from "deflected" kicks - in short, a kick is only officially reported as "blocked" if it does not pass the line of scrimmage. If the ball does pass the line of scrimmage, it is considered a "deflected" kick, and therefore not reported by the NFL (or us) as a blocked kick.
I'd like to note that I didn't bold the text in the quote above, it already appeared that way, and it totally supports my opinion on what a block kick is and isn't.
