For everyone blaming Ghost over 1 point costing us the game, just want to remind you:
Dustin Hopkins missed an XP in week 16. But somehow his team miraculously won despite the catastrophic way people are treating a missed XP.
Actually, so did the Giants even though Josh Brown missed an XP against the Bills in week 4. Same with Nugent of the Bengals in week 1. And Boswell with the Steelers in week 10. Heck, Kai Forbath missed an XP for the Saints and they still won one of their few games of the year.
Teams also lost games when kickers missed XPs. The Raiders lost a game by 7. It happens. But plenty of teams have won games so there's no reason to just give up in the first quarter after missing an XP. Not all hope is lost.
Even the worst kickers in terms of the new XP still won games. Jason Myers's Jaguars went 2-4 with him missing an XP in 6 games (including 2 in 1 game). But that's pretty similar to their record where he hit them all, as they went 3-8 in those. Meanwhile Dan Carpenter's Bills had a winning record in games where he missed an XP, 4-2 when missing, 4-6 when he didn't miss an XP.
What's that you say? Talking about a team's record based on XP success is stupid?
Exactly.
