No matter which way you slice it I've never been able to tell my fellow sportsmen my score was a result of good or bad luck. Nobody will buy it. But I'm better with rifles and a steady time to concentrate, still I miss bulls.Michael Jordan has missed on consecutive shots and every single kicker to ever play the game has probably missed on consecutive shots. It's not luck, it's the way it is.Can you imagine someone beating the Bulls and saying "shoot, we were lucky Jordan missed two in a row"? I know the percentages favor kickers over BBall but it's still the same. Guys are inconsistent and miss, whether through concentration or conditions or whatever, the fact remains that  he missed. Your position is that the Packers didn't force the miss. OK, but it doesn't matter. A  clutch guy let the team down, didn't do what he usually does, much like many of the Packers in last years playoffs. Are you also willing to say the Giants were "lucky"?</blockquote>
