If any football game comes down to a last second field goal; and the kicker misses, it's the entire team who is responsible for losing the game.

I agree that the entire team is responsible for losing a game...but on the other hand, Paul was partly to blame. All the onus was placed on McCallum to provide the offense last weekend for BC. He got 19 of their points. In the 2004 WF, Henry threw for over 400 yards and 3 TDs that game including a clutch TD in the final minute to pull the Riders ahead - Paul only had to make 1 FG to that point. The FG kicker is paid to make kicks and Paul choked severely. For cripes sake, Duncan O'Mahoney made a last second FG - the longest of his career - and then a FG in OT twice as long as Paul's miss to win the game for the Lions. Paul did great on Sunday - but he f'd up royally in 2004.
