I haven't rewatched it, but from the first go round, I thought it was pretty clear that it was NOT Forbath's fault. One of the blockers in the middle left got blown up so bad that he fell to his back at the snap. There was massive penetration by what looked like two players right in line with the kicker and one of them got his hand on the ball. I'm not sure what people want Forbath to do in that scenario - summon Morgan Freeman to curve the bullet?
I seem to recall Payton being upset and saying that "we stubbed the turf" or something similar with regards to the kick. That would seem to indicate an issue with the kicker.
