I disagree, we ARE following the rules as they are written.
Where in the rules does it state "partially" blocked kicks = 3 points?

I guess this is the crux of the issue. We clearly say that ANY blocked kick counts. There is no mention of adjectives (or is it adverbs?) being relevant to the discussion. Whether the kick is partially blocked does not matter as the point is that it was blocked. The interpretation is that there is a qualifier being added, that says that partially blocked kicks do not count.

What makes this league great though is owners understanding and willing to often take one for the betterment of the league. It sucks that a game has to be decided by this, but it seems as if change will be made next off-season, so hopefully that can be a cause hapiness. That you've changed the world for the better. Knowing that NO ONE will ever be screwed by a poorly written rule regarding partially blocked kicks, kicks that travel in the air but hit the scoreboard and fall behind the line of scrimmage, and kicks that vanish into a wormhole.
It's because of you Matt that owners everywhere will no longer fear the day, when a blocked kick can cost them the game! You truly are a man of Freedom!

That is some good stuff!! Thanks for the laugh Frank. Your right, knowing that NO ONE will ever
again be screwed by a poorly written rule regarding blocked kicks almost makes this loss more special than the other 30 (was 40 already) or so that I have endured.
