Machiavelli 3rd String
Let me help you
In this post you said the CHANCE of him missing the field goal is "literally 100%":
http://www.cougarboard.com/board/message.html?id=16772990

Definition of chance: "the possibility that something will happen" (merriam-webster dictionary)

Yes, we can calculate that he is currently 0-2 or 0% success rate on 40+ yard field goals so far this season, but that does not mean his CHANCE of hitting a 40+ yarder going forward is 0.

Chances, odds, etc = future
Statistics = quantitative data explaining PAST events

Pretty sure you can't break this down any further, so hopefully this clears it up for you
