I was going to say, that the people making these threats couldn't kick the ball off of a tee, much less hit a field goal. From what you described, and what I know about the weather, I can only guess that the temp and atmospheric conditions made the ball especially prone to chaotic destabilization of its spin. I doubt there is any amount of practice and skill that can overcome those sorts of objective factors.
Right...if you look at the physics involved in conditions like that, hitting a 44-yard field goal is no small achievement. Never mind that you're kicking what feels like a rock.
