Notes to answerer
Asker: Per, I thought I had added some more context to it, but I must have forgotten to save it. Anyway, I ended up translating it as the person having "dropped the ball" (i.e., made a mistake) since it seemed to go with the context. But thanks for your help none the less. I always value your input. - Nikolaj

neutral  David Siebert: Agree with Per, this needs more context, it can be used metaphorically to mean quite a lot of things.
