Fine. Except that Hartley did not lose the game. He missed the kick. The kick was in overtime. After the kick, the game continued (was not over) and the Falcons eventually won. Lots of things happened in that game, before and after that kick. You might want to give some "credit" to the defense, for letting the Falcons move down the field and kick their own field goal after Hartley missed....technically that's what "lost" the game... But I guess the fact that Hartley holds a Super Bowl record for kicking 3 kicks all from 40+, I suppose that probably escapes your memory as well. (It's been talked about before, BTW -- Hartley's overall numbers are not all that much different from what Morton's were at this early stage in their two careers.) So suit yourself. You are free to blame whoever you want, and remember or forget whatever you want.
