Re: 10 point goal versus 1 point goal

Is anyone really losing matches by being outscored yet? No, it's a battle of who makes the least mistakes and who's the most efficient. At least in Week 1.
One of the times I think the 1 point goal is important is getting rid of auto balls. NOT being able to cycle is killing some teams here in Cent Ill.

True, not making mistakes is very important. But yes, some matches are being won by purely being outscored. Not just those quirks of the schedule where 3 rookies are agai st one or two of the powerhouses (although we've seen that, too). Not many, but we'll see more of that this afternoon.
