That?s such a bad argument, blaming a kicker to win a game is just easy when it comes to game winning options.
People don?t think about blaming the QB or the WR when they have a game winning option because the miss catch or missed throw is just seen as that another number on their stat sheet. But everyone expects the kicker to come out and make it every time. Give the kicker 25 to 40 tries a game and I promise he will miss less than the QB does.

Drinkwitz gave away back-to-back plays to try and score a TD in the Missouri game, taking two kneel downs instead to set up field goal position. And the kicker missed. In my opinion, you don’t give away those opportunities.

Uh. I think that's the point. They get one shot. It's not 100%. Its not that the kicker is bad. But if you put all your eggs in the kicker you're stupid. Thus - what I said prior to that- Pittman didn't handle the end game well. Made it where if the kicker makes it they might win. If he misses they for sure loses... bad coaching
