What the fucking fuck?
This was what I was worried about, waking up dead Monday morning and not even realizing until I watched the 40-minute edited version.
That game was unbelievable on so many levels. Two fumbles at the goal line? Three personal foul penalties, a taunting? But the pièce de résistance was obviously the insane 64-yard field goal attempt for all the marbles.
It was probably different in real time, but on the edited version, one second I’m watching Javonte Williams fight for extra yards to make it a manageable 4th-and-5, thinking Wilson will get it done, and the next Brandon McManus is out there trying to break the non-Justin Tucker record on my dime! What the fuck? What the fucking fuck?
You don’t need me to tell you Geno Smith looked okay or that Javonte Williams is a top-five PPR back — pretty sure you figured that out by watching.
But man, what a liability Nathaniel Hackett is. Unconscionable. I must have used up too much good karma on miracle wins last year.
Figured it might be a good time to re-post this embarrassingly trite reality-TV style video in front of the paywall this time.
Get a load of this dope:

Well, that video made me subscribe for the year. So you've got that going for you, which is nice.
You’re 100% right. It’s one thing to lose, but that FG attempt was an egregious error in strategy. It has to be a minuscule chance of success versus a 4th & 5. Just horrible. (Sour grapes, I also needed a DEN outright win for a big teaser)
The 2 fumbles on the half-yard line were killers. Just a comedy of errors to piss that game away.
