I guarantee Pete played it super safe to give Blair an early try out for next year. If we were playing for the playoffs there he goes aggressive offensively to gain at least 8 more yards for that kick.
It was technically win win for Pete to not get an easy FG there. Put Walsh to the fire one more time to hopefully secure the win and not have to scramble for a kicker emphatically this off season, or take the meaningless loss, easily cut ties with a guy who can’t kick on the big stage, and take some better draft position in the process.
So bye bye Walsh. Good luck in life.
