COACHING.
You can look at the missed FG or you can evaluate why they were kicking in the first place.
Everybody remembers Nate Kaeding and the 50-yard miss in the playoffs three years ago. Only those of us that care remember that the Chargers had 1st-and-10 at the Jet 40 and RAN THE BALL THREE STRAIGHT TIMES in order to setup their ROOKIE kicker for a 49-yard attempt IN THE RAIN.

Yeah. I think this year was different. Do you think it was Marty's fault this last time? I actually felt bad for Marty this time because I don't think he choked. I think this time was just bad luck.
And one more point -- Marty never had great teams here. And part of that is Marty's fault for going with simple schemes. It's Marty's whole coaching philosophy, not just game-time decisions that have hurt him.
