Kicking in the playoffs and Super Bowl is a whole different ball game in terms of pressure. Some of the best kickers in the league have fallen apart once the post-season hits. Some guys will get the yips in the playoffs, and are never the same for the rest of their career....for however long it might last after that.
Packers kicker basically did the same thing in a similar situation as the Bills kicker.

The joke is that Gino Cappelletti is not in the HOF. All time AFL scorer, 5 times AFL scoring leader, AFL MVP. He also had two of the top 5 scoring seasons in NFL/AFL history. If they count Joe Namath's AFL stats they should for Gino. Originally a quarterback in college, he was a kicker and receiver for the Pats. 42 receiving TD's, 176 FG's (52.9%) and 342 PAT's (96.9%)
