Still doesn't change the fact that kicking a FG on the 1 in the first quarter of a 3 point game is the wrong move and no amount of pleading about "context" will change that. The conversion rate on such plays is 65% and even if you account for the fact that they were struggling with Anarumo again, it's still better than a coin flip.

Again, not scoring there is a perfectly acceptable outcome at that stage of the game even if they they don't get it given the field position advantage. And odds are, they probably would have.

It was a 'coin flip' three times and we didn't get it on any of them. We really didn't get particularly close.

But keep telling yourself that odds control in those situations.
