Chris Boswell. Oh, Chris Boswell. You stupid, stupid son of a bitch. It's like the guy doesn't like his job kicking footballs for a living. If he did he wouldn't have chosen the one play where his failure wouldn't be highlighted to risk failing in such hilariously miserable fashion that his failure turned into the goddamn highlight of the week. And I don't care that he successfully completed this play in college either. That just means that the law of averages finally caught up to him on a much, much bigger stage. As far as rates of success go, 50% isn't half bad for turning a simple boot directly into the dirt into some fancy footed, behind-the-back misdirection kick that traveled precisely the right amount of yards. Unfortunately, a 50% rate of success is pretty fucking awful when what you are trying to accomplish is giving your team one final opportunity to win one of sixteen games against a division rival. I don't know much about being a professional kicker, but I know that best way to keep being one is to refrain from drawing attention to yourself. What Chris Boswell just did was the equivalent of a corporate intern going to get his boss coffee and just picking out a type that he's thinks he'll like. When you are relied upon for so little it's best to just do it in the way that's least likely to make you look like an incompetent moron - especially when your peers already view you as less of a person solely because of your position.
