Was the snap really bad? Looked ok to me.

Seemed more like no one blocked Fitzpatrick.

Snap wasn't the issue, even if the snap had have been bad, you've gotta make the job of blocking the kick way harder than we did.

Precisely.

The snap was fine just slow which gave him a chance to get through to block it, not that the blocking was up to much.

On the missed FG I think he tried to put a bit more on it which is why it came out high.

Snap went back slower than usual, but competent blocking would have been easily enough to eliminate that factor. Fitzpatrick is a good, quick player, so it was very easy for him to get there in time

It was too soft/slow. Timing is everything in kicking, and the snap needs to get back there quicker.

If you watch the replay in slo-mo,you’ll find that the holder,as a result of a high snap,didn’t have time to turn the laces on the football,resulting in him
Kicking the laces on the right side,causing it to shank left.

Snap was high and slow. Threw all the timing off.

Not blocking Fitzpatrick was egregious as hell too.

that one was on Huber. They snapped on 3rd down in case of a bad snap. They got a bad snap. Huber should have eaten the ball and tried again for another snap.

Props to him. Respect

Has anyone explained what happened to Clark Harris and when and why it was so serious he couldn't make one snap for the win?   (And I hope it wasn't a Steeler taking him out, like happened with Higgins.)

Clark Harris has a right biceps injury and has been declared out

He probably got hurt double-fisting a tall boy on the sideline. Haha

The snap was an issue. It took 3 days to get back to the holder. Watch any NFL game and you'll see how close every PAT comes to being blocked. 

We're talking fractions of a second here. It's why LS is a specialty.

He injured it on a punt when he was making a block.  You can't snap when your dominant arm is injured.  If he tore the muscle or bicep tendon he could be lost for the season.  Thank Goodness they kept Adomitis on the PS.


While Wilcox was busy taking responsibility for his snaps, McPherson was busy taking responsibility for his kicks.

They’re not even allowed to hit him. Maybe it was on punt coverage.

It looked slow.  Took a while to get there

Hmm. Everyone is ok with blaming themselves except for one.

Who would have thought a blocked extra point would decide the game? The Bengals should not have let it come down to the extra point. Blame the turnovers that really cost us the game.
