Look at the field, numbnuts:
An extra point is from the 23 yard line, smack in the middle of the plasticky LII logo that was causing everyone problems.
Jake Elliot did not miss any field goals and he did not, as you claim, miss two extra points. For the record, he was 3-for-3 on FGs and 2-for-3 off the plastic logo for the extra points.
Oh wise one, with it being 4th and goal from the 1 yard line, tell me where the ball would be spotted after a 5-yard penalty?
You can do it! Yes you can! One plus five equals.... yes you can... SIX! Wow, so proud of you!
Then where would the field goal be from? You can do it! Yes you can! Six plus seven equals.... yes you can... Thirteen! Wow, so proud of you!
Then how long would the field goal be? You can do it! Yes you can! Thirteen plus ten equals.... yes you can... 23 yards long!
Wow, so proud of you!
Then... ooohhhh.. this is hard... How often do NFL kickers make a 23-yard field goal? Hmmm... is there a link for that? By golly, ever heard of GOOGLE? Yes, it is here, but the breakdown is for 20-29 yard field goals.
http://www.nfl.com/stats/categoryst...GOALS&d-447263-s=KICKING_FG_ATT_MADE_20_TO_29
NFL kickers made 257 out of 262 20-29 yard field goals this year! Yes, you figured it out! So proud of you!
What percentage is that? 98.1%!
How often did Steve Alford make a free throw in 1987? Google is AGAIN your friend!
https://www.sports-reference.com/cbb/players/steve-alford-1.html
He made 88.9% of his free throws. Kind of automatic, right?
Now let's compare 98.1 to 88.9. The first number is bigger, right! So proud of you! You need a participation trophy!

It was actually about 6 times more likely for Steve Alford to miss a free throw in 1987 than it was for an NFL kicker to miss a 20-29 yard field goal in 2017-18.
keep working at it Rangline Fan, and you can be
SMART!
(Well... at least less or a moron. I'm trying to be encouraging!)
