Missed/Botched FG Attempt

Post by Dayons_Den »

Could anyone tell what exactly happened there? My BCSN computer feed wasn't the clearest.. Was it a bad snap or was it an attempt at a fake?

Sorry, wasn't paying attention of the XP. It is, afterall, simply an XP. Looked down to the field in time to see the reg waving it off, wide right.

The botched FG looked to be on the holder. The snap looked fine, but when Vrvilo approached the ball, he simply stopped his motion and Brighton took of running. With his back to our side of the field, we couldn't really see it. But it definitely was not a straight fake.

Right, some thing was botched. It was not a fake.

When he sat the ball on the turf, it simply slid flat on the ground and he they picked it up> I honestly don't thing there is a thing the holder could have done differently short of thawing out the turf in that spot!

I blame the turf, the fans, the ball, the wind, the cold, the snow, the fans. and the cannon. And the fans.

Has anyone thought about getting grass? This turf costs us the game. That and the fans.
