Does accepting defensive pass interference eliminate a reception?

Yes this is a fantasy football question.

The NFL has ruled that this was a reception by Hakeem Nicks. This obviously changes the scoring for Nicks in a FF league and it has reversed the outcome of a game. Now I've got the owner of the (now) losing team complaining that this wasn't a catch because the Giants accepted the penalty.

Should I overturn the stat adjustment and keep the score the way it originally was? Or the does the NFL ruling trump all?

Absolutely.

ayup

Yes.

Also what does that video have to do with Nicks?

I embedded the wrong video. It's corrected.

So the question is....do you change the stat correction back to where it was and leave the outcome of the game how it was in the beginning?

You leave it alone, sadly...doesnt count as a reception or yardage for the receiver

edit: you could if you had the right software / website give some amount of points to a receiver who draws a PI penalty, but this would need to be done before draft day preferably or before week 1 for sure...too late to add this now, but something to consider next year if your league wants it. But you wouldnt add yards or a reception IMO, you would add like 'drawn PI penalty = x amount of points ' or similar....You could make it dependant on the yardage, but you still would NEVER add the yards back...or the reception.

The question is why the **** did the Giants accept the penalty if it was a catch?

I agree, Pest.

So everyone thinks that I should change it back to the original outcome?

If it is on a site like Yahoo or ESPN or NFL, it shouldve changed back automatically...What site are you using?

www.rtsports.com

Changed back automatically? They all update statistics based off of the stat changes from the NFL. Normally this shit doesn't matter....but it changed the outcome of a game.

Now I have one guy who is all butt hurt and claiming that he wants his money back.

Well, his official stats are 4 receptions, 38 yards, One TD, 0 rushing yards....I don't see how he*could argue his position unless the RT stats are different from that.

Nope....the stats on the website state that he Nicks has 4 receptions for 38 yards. He's saying that we have the power to overturn it because it shouldn't be a catch.

On a second look, one reason they may have taken a penalty is because he was close to being out of bounds....so they made sure they got the 1st instead of having the chance he was still juggling the ball as he stepped out....

Thats the only reason I can think of for taking the penalty there.

That's my thoughts. I still have no ****ing clue why the NFL would come in and give Nicks the catch if there was a penalty accepted. There's no point to it...

Hmm so he is saying that it was one of the 4 catches and shouldnt be?

I didnt watch the game but they couldve picked the flag up and ruled it a catch?

Sorry your having a butthurt guy ruin your fun man 8-(

Yeah....he's stating that they accepted the penalty...so it shouldn't be a catch. And in turn....he should still have the victory.

Here it is bro:

(They declined it)

Mystery solved, tell him to go **** himself.

The Giants declined the penalty, which is why Nicks was given a reception and an additional 23 yards.

so shove that in his face and tell him to **** himself...

Teams can do this shit after a game?

If it were me, I would stick with what ever the official stats say. If the official stats say it is a catch, it is a catch, if the official stats say it is no catch, no catch. I don't really understand the debate. If done on pen and paper, without internet and all this technology, I would imagine that is the way it would be done. I don't play fantasy football, but from my understand it is just an accumulation of stats.

If your site has the same stats that the NFL has I would tell him to go **** himself and to quit being a little bitch.

****ing hell.

Now the two teams that this affected want it put up to a vote by the league.

Tell him youll give him his money back if he writes a letter to the NFL and convinces them to take the catch away from Nicks and the yards away from Nicks and also the completion from Eli and the yards from Eli....his check will be in the mail when the NFL changes the records.

Dude there is no vote, they DECLINED the penalty - it is official.

Stats change all the time in the day or two after the game....this guy must be a noob.

Thats what I'm telling him.

And he is a n00b.....it's his first year playing FF.

just give him the link

http://www.nfl.com/gamecenter/201109...yze=playbyplay


and tell him to look for himself...it says DECLINED....

6:37 left in 1st Q

Official NFL stats. Period. That way it is always consistent.

How much money is your league?

n00bs ruin everything.

12 team - $100 buy in.

Absolutely do not let your owners vote on this - especially with it being a $ league.

The stats are official. Deal with it or GTFO.

Hell, ESPN tells its commissioners that scores/stats aren't final until the following Saturday. Hell him to put on his big boy pants and get over it. He lost.

You let the owners vote, they'll likely vote in whatever way benefits their team. Just stick to the official stat line. There's no judgement call here.

You have to go with the official stat from the NFL.

Getting the short end of the stick is a part of fantasy football, and there is no crying in fantasy football.

we are using cbssports.com and some guy lost by 1 point because they left it as a catch. we told the dude who lost oh well

You go by what the NFL final determination is. That is how every pretty much all fantasy leagues work. If he doesn't like it tough shit.

Hopefully the loss keeps him out of the playoffs. That will teach him.


Easiest decision in the world. Go by the host site rules.

Suck for Luck.

Well....I just officially had to kick my first team out of my league.

I told him that it wasn't changing. He demanded his money back. I refused. He threatened that he was coming over to my house. He's getting his money and just lost access to his account.

Some people take FF WAY to serious.

It is a catch, they DECLINED the penalty....

That sucks, probably best to do what you did if he is that much of a dick...100$ aint worth killing someone over.....

But what a ****ing douche, I would tell him to never show his face or talk to me again if he wants to be such a bitch over 100$. The funny thing is he must have a decent team if he only lost by 20 yards,,,

Idiot.

Sorry you have to deal with this fool.

Well....I don't have to deal with his stupid ass anymore.

Interesting trade request sent to me. (I can highjack my own ****ing thread)

I give up:

Felix Jones
DeAngelo Williams
Chad Henne

I get.

Shonne Greene
Cam Newton

Seriously though....who the **** threatens someone over $100? And the stupid thing is.....he works with my wife. That's the only reason he got his money back. I don't want her having to put up with his bullshit at work.

Can't believe nobody's started the "This dickhead running my FF league is refusing to overturn this bullshit! Should I kick his ass??" thread.

Feel free.

Well now it's ruined. Damn it.

this isn't even a question...

the NFL ruled Nicks' catch a catch...it's a catch....even ESPN says fantasy football scores aren't official until THURSDAY.

Last year the NFL ruled in week 15 Mendenhall only had 99 yards rather than 100 and it changed the outcome of the game that led to the eventual champion winning it all...

They make all changes on THURSDAY...which is why ESPN says wins/losses in FFL are unofficial until Thursday.

Is it a keeper league? I'd do it for Newton if it is. I might do it for Newton if it isn't if you're set at RB. Good gamble. Fun player to watch.

My team is currently:

QB: Roethlisberger, Cutler, Henne
RB: F. Jones, B. Jacobs, D. Williams, M. Barber
WR: V. Jackson, B. Marshall, L. Moore, D. Moore, J. Ford
TE: V. Davis, L. Kendricks

I'd be really low on RBs. There really isn't a whole lot to pick up. I could trade for a different RB.

because why in God's name would they challenge the call when the alternative is the ball is at the same spot because of PI...

this was MNF...were you guys not watching this game?

I had Nicks and was annoyed that he didn't get the catch at the time but knew there was no reason to challenge the play.

Traded away DeAngelo Williams, Lance Moore, M. Massaquoi and Chad Henne for Cam Newton, Cedric Benson and Mike Wallace.

And yes it's a keeper league. Cam Newton would cost me a 17th round pick next year.

they declined the penalty the day after when given the option after the NFL reviewed the game tape. they accepted the penalty during the actual game.

that being said, you always have to go with the final NFL stats for FF purposes.

i would of deducted half of the yards of the play.

I wouldn't have given his money back. He paid in, the line was official. As far as I would be concerned he just stole $100 from you.

What a douche. Hopefully others work with him and you should post responses from here making fun of his dumb ass for not know rules or protocol because stats change all the time.

Top of that. What dumbshit joins a 100 dollr league as a rookie and does not read up?

Tell him cp did a concensus vote and he is a douche.

This. Then I'd call him a bitch and tell him to go **** himself with a rusty chainsaw before running into an aids tree.
