"Being the goat" is from the word "scapegoat", someone blamed (deservedly or not) for a bad or unpleasant circumstance. An example would be a football player who drops the winning touchdown catch, or an office worker who fails to submit his assignment on time, when the contract is subsequently lost. Often a scapegoat is used to deflect the blame from others who also contributed to the loss or failure.
