Yeah I know. But what was it, a 45 or 46 yard FG? But I concede that point.

Cephasjames is right here; there were far, far more opportunities to win that game than 2 FG attempts. Where was the Lions' defense in the entire second half? If they stopped just one more drive than they did, the Lions probably would have won.
All in all, give me a team that scores 31 points in a game, I'm almost never going to tell you they lost because of the offense.

We can't know what would have happened. But IMO if he hits that FG the Lions win that game. All that other crap never happens. Because the momentum never shifts. You just told the 49ers that halfway through the 3rd they've gained no ground. But instead they gave them life. And when it rains it pours.
