Missing the Chip shot FG was huge.

It was the 2nd best drive of the day and it produced 0 points.

Imagine the end of the game if only down 7, instead of 10. Huge difference in the type of plays you call and how you go about using timeouts, etc.

Little mistakes like that are difficult to overcome for an average football team.

Could have should have. If Mare misses 5 straight in a game then let me know but one miss ain't breaking my heart fellas.
 
Not breaking your heart. This offense still sucks. Any time a FG is missed it is HUGE. Thats right HUGE.

The fact of the matter that field goal was consolation points anyway. We should have scored a touchdown. Our offense stalled on the goaline. Blame the whole offense.

I never did see why Mare hesitated during the kick.

Beyond huge. My only prediction post this week was we weren't likely to score many points, not out of the teens. That was a reasonable conclusion given a weak offensive line and new QB on the road vs. a division foe. So when you forfeit 3 points that's a sizeable chunk of the likely output. It potentially changed the way the game evolved.

We forfieted seven points by leaving a touchdown on the field.
