Gogolak on the edge of getting booted

The Giants bad season has gotten worse. They have lost 2 consecutive games due to the errant or non-existant right foot of one Pete Gogolak. The Hungarian defector has been with the Giants for 5 very successful years. All of a sudden in 1971 he is a 35% FG kicker. It has come to the point that he can not even attempt a 25 yarder. Owner Wellington Mara has increased his attendance of mass at St. Patty's. Rumor has it even Cardinal Cooke is praying for Gogo. The Giants played a fantastic game vs the AFC leading Chargers and had a chance to tie it late and force OT. Instead they were forced into "going for it" from SD's own 25, because of Gogolak. Another coach in the league recommended the Giants get a one legged guy instead. At 1-4 the Giants slim post season hopes are slowly being booted away.
