Even with the longsnapper hurt, if Drew Sample and Adeneji would have blocked Fitzpatrick...we win that game. He may have blocked that kick with Harris snapping. That's just the thing...bad teams find a way to lose games. Then, their fans are like Wow IF this one thing happened, it's a win instead of a loss.
Well, yeah...that's the nature of the NFL. IF Burrow didn't throw a pick 6. IF we scored more. IF the offense scored a 1st half TD vs Dallas. Add another TD here. Subtract one there, and a Win!
The missed block on the extra point was just another in a string of mistakes by a poorly coached team that wasn't ready for the start of the season.
As opposed to fans who look at a razor thin loss and think the whole team is broken and the season is over.
