Well, heck, I see the issue. A MLB was punting, therefore, we can toss out normal game play.

Also, if you notice the sim fires up and quickly has the opportunistic team score TDs in reaction.

This is similar to if you have a non-kicker at the K position. The sim will get mad and make you pay for it. :)

What had me take notice was neither of the two players whom blocked the punt were special or had amazing ratings to justify it, therefore, I looked from the other angle and that was my aha moment. :)

I definitely noticed the punting seemed really off while watching the game. That explains it.

that is not the worst thing to happen to Atlanta

they have had 3 punters reject them for the offer they sent them in transactions (yes i looked in the transactions) and also i looked to see if someone claimed them for league but that was a NO go so that is weird they have been reject like this

1st = https://problematic.myfootballnow.com/player/159
2nd = https://problematic.myfootballnow.com/player/1528
3rd = https://problematic.myfootballnow.com/player/1709

I have a player in Rivals that has something like 12 blocked punts on the year. I haven't dug into why it's happening, but I have some suspicions.

It's not weird at all. They bid on three punters and got outbid by another team on all three.
