mojo fail

a failure that, while possibly excusable, creates such a bad energy or reputation that the entity in question must take the blame anyway, often severely

Even though it came out later that Cody Parkey's infamous "double-doink" field-goal miss had in fact been tipped, the whole thing was such a mojo fail that the Bears released him and no other team wanted to touch him.

"I know it's not your fault, but it's still your fault. It was a total mojo fail."
