[QUOTE="PackersRS, post: 369205, member: 1429"] I'm not arguing if luck plays a factor or not, it does. What I'm arguing is the percentage of times it affects the ultimate result. Mendenhall fumbling is a result of Matthews reading the formation and attacking, and Mendenhall's poor ball handling at that time. A kicker missing a FG is his innability to concentrate and kick the ball on the right place, with the right force. A ball bouncing a way or an injury, that's usually luck (injuries can be a result of the player not being physically ready, or being too fatigued). But fumbles aren't luck, there's good reaction of the guy recovering the fumble, and there's poor ball handling of the guy fumbling. Luck is a random event in which one didn't have any control over what happened. In the events you listed, Ben missed because he overthrew it, not because of luck. If he missed it because a drop of sweat got into his eye, that's luck. Bishop recovered the ball because he has great reaction time and good hands. There is some luck that the ball bounced his way, yes, but it's no coincidence some players recover fumbles more than others. Same thing with Tramon's muffed punt. [/QUOTE]
