Who would’ve guessed an NFL game could come down to not having a healthy long snapper? Bengals/Steelers just cranking up the insanity. ---

Clutch ass Cade York 60 yard field goal, McPherson choked, maybe the post-Tucker AFC North kicker race is still undecided. Edit: Oh was it a snapping problem? I didn’t actually see it. ---

Bengals using their backup TE as a longsnapper because of injury. The talking heads seem convinced that both the blocked kick and the missed one were caused by a poor and then a slow snap. ---

Some sloppy football being played for most of these games but we had some exciting finishes. Redzone was bonkers for a while there. ---

Houston? missed a chipshot FG, Steelers/Bengals missed 3 late game winning kicks combined, Browns win on a 60 yarder, lots of crazy kicking going on. ---

Giants are off to a great start. Our QB didn’t know where the 1st down was on a sneak needing less than a yard. Punting team gave up a large return and defense looked weak allowing Titans a quick TD. ---

The Colts and Texans ended up with a 20-20 tie after Rodrigo Blankenship missed a 42-yard field goal. It’s the first time the Colts have been involved in a tie since December 19, 1982 against the Green Bay Packers; it was the closest thing they had to a positive result in that strike-shortened season. (The Colts were playing in Baltimore at the time). And it’s the Texans’ first tie in franchise history. ---

Steelers win 23-20 over the defending AFC Champion Bengals in Cincinnati, on a 53-yard field goal with no time remaining in overtime. We came _this_ close to having two 20-20 ties on the same day. ---

I’m more annoyed with the idiot announcer bringing up Josh Allen over and over. ---

Only because the Bungholes kicker forgot how to kick. ---

Daniel Jones doesn’t look like a real quarterback. I’m ready for Tyrod Taylor. ---

I’m largely ignoring the announcers. It makes its a little better. Can the Giants avoid a losing record this year? ---

Well with these sacks comings so fast, you might get your wish. What the hell is going on? ---

> [@What\_Exit](#): > > Can the Giants avoid a losing record this year? Probably not. I’m mostly hoping that there will be less games this year that I turn off at halftime in disgust. After this last drive with 3rd and 20 I have doubts about that now. ---

Saquon Barkley stepping up for my fantasy team at least. So far he seems to be the entire offense. ETA: Jesus Christ they can’t even snap an extra point.
