We had a 99.8% chance of winning the game before the kick according to somebody with some kickass software. That's been published elsewhere. Unfortunately there were no odds published after the kick. I bet that immediately following the kick, our odds went from 99.8% to something like 96.2%. This according to the kickass software in my skull.
The call did not lose the game for us. Anybody who says otherwise is either... too lazy to analyze the ending, doesn't understand odds or how the game works, or unwilling to admit defeat to a GT team that outplayed us for what I would say was the majority of the game, even before the kick.
ETA: The reason the winning % doesn't exist immediately following the kickoff? Because the number is similar to what I put above, 96.2%. Had that number actually been published, it would have made an otherwise interesting statistic (99.8%) totally irrelevant. You KNOW the person who published the 99.8% figure had one following the kick as well.
