A successful kick = good snap, good catch and placement of ball, good kick.  Add to that indoors on grass or indoors on a carpet, weather......The kicking unit will need to add time to practicing PATs - same distance, same place on the field.  This is one reason why the long snapper is critical.  It's not as easy as just finding a new one.  It is a unique skill and the three guys need to work together (not sure who calls the snap but they all need to know the count, sorta obvious but hey.....).  To some extent, the same is true for the placeholder.  But consistent snaps makes that job pretty routine.All this said, there was only one game (I think) decided by one point - Atlanta 25, GB 24?  And I don't know if a PAT was missed, and even if there was, a loss can't be solely placed on the kicker - well usually.</blockquote>
