The loser of Kern/Stonehouse The loser of Chrisman/Huber There are MULTIPLE other punters already on the street that outperformed Haack just last year: Ty Long, Jordan Berry, and Michael Palardy. There are 5 upgrades off the top of my head. This isn’t difficult. We fall in love with AWFUL ideas because we are comfortable with them. That’s stupid. That’s really stupid for the Super Bowl Favorite. The Bills planned on upgrading from Haack. They can still do that pretty easily.

I’m not upset. There are people here that SERIOUSLY think the Bills should consider it. “I know that guy.” Those people lose a ton of credibility in my eyes. People are all over Jake Schum on Twitter as well. The Bills are the Super Bowl Favorite. They aren’t considering guys that last played in 2013 or 2016. They are going to upgrade from Haack. That was always the plan. It still is and there are a few options that are clear upgrades.

13 for Josh…

Why should he get a tryout? He averaged 41.2 yards per punt in his final season. That was 9 years ago. For some perspective, that’s over a yard worse than every single punter that had at least 25 punts last season. You think that he might be one of the 32 best punters in the world now? Thurman Thomas was even more fun. Should they bring him in?

Please, please, please stop with the crazy ideas. Brian Moorman is too old. He wasn’t great anymore in 2013!! That’s 9 years ago!! Full stop! The same goes for the Tik Tok guy from Buffalo, Jake Schum. If he was good, he would have had a job in the last 6 seasons. It’s okay to upgrade the position with a guy that you guys aren’t super familiar with, or born in Hamburg. Let’s get a good punter instead!! The loser of the Titans and Bengals competitions are upgrades over what we’ve had for the last handful of years. Aspire to look ahead, not back

They played against different groups. The Bills weren’t having a competition for the backup spot. One has proven that they can win and lead teams to the playoffs. The other is Matt Barkley. The Bills brought Keenum here to ensure short-term stability in the event of an Allen injury. He’s a proven commodity. Barkley is here to go on the PS and fill the Davis Webb role. He is smart and Josh’s boy. This is like, “have you guy’s been impressed by Blackshear? He’s shown so much more than Cook the PS.” Fine, but he was never here to compete with Cook for playing time. That was also predetermined by rèsumè.

Thanks @SDS!! I believe it will be Kern from Tennessee (and Grand Island). If they keep him, Ryan Stonehouse will be available. The Bills will have more competition for him IMO. Kern is likelier to pick the Bills.

I get preventing the LAMP threads. We are on page 227 of a story that is 2 or 3 days old. There is no conversation because it is just a bunch of different topics. A thread about “which punters may be available” is certainly appropriate IMO. I watched good conversation get thrown into here immediately. I’m not reading 227 pages to piece together those thoughts. I’ll follow along on twitter I guess.

Limiting all of the Araiza talk to this thread is absurd/stupid @SDS. There are SO many layers to it. There will be 25 different conversations at once. How the Bills are handling it is VASTLY different from “who they might replace him with?” You also have the layer of “how much did they know and when?” “What did they know when they released Haack?” There are so many different angles here I can’t understand why it is all being jammed into one conversation?!? This thread will be 400 pages and talk about 137 different things. The “over moderation” led me to a couple of year hiatus. I enjoy coming here to talk Bills but want to “get in and get out.” I’m curious as to people’s opinions on very specific topics. I don’t care to hear anyone chime in on “how the Bills are handling this” or “giving him the benefit of the doubt” or anything like that. I have an opinion on that and it isn’t changing and will be a hostile discussion (but one that warrants a place here). I ONLY care to hear people’s opinions on other options if Araiza is gone. I know that others feel the same way. We should ABSOLUTELY allow multiple Araiza threads right now. It is THE biggest Bills topic with lots of arms and legs. My $.02.

I would cut them both. They stink. I suspect that they’ll keep Hart because of his “versatility.” He can struggle at multiple positions on the OL.

It sounds like they’re doing the entire top 20 this week. Josh may be top 10. I was mistaken. I thought that 20-11 was this week and then 10-1.

This will play out. I’ve been ALL IN on him as a talent. This is disgusting.

Browns - “Don’t sexually assault anyone this week”

I don’t think that was here. There is (or at least was) another message bots like that. I know that a few posters from here had migrated over there and recruited some others. I don’t remember what it was called.

Here are a bunch of Rams fans trying to sell tickets to Rams fans. They are starting these groups to try to keep opposing fans from buying all of the tickets 😂😂. They are also saying that it may be too late on the Bills game as all of the hotels around there are booked up. Feel free to jump in 😂😂. Saddest thread ever:

It was sunk cost. The pick wasn’t a win. Trading up to acquire him wasn’t a win. Getting a 5th round pick back for him was a win. All of those things are true.

Another “W” for Brandon Beane. Cody Ford stinks. He’s looked better under Kromer but he isn’t good. A 5th is a great return for him.

If you need any “advice” just PM me. I know a little (I’m there a decent amount). I can obviously ask my sister as well.

It was nice to take a few years away . I certainly won’t post as often but this is the best place for Bills talk.

I’m old enough to remember when people thought that the Bills had “a punting competition” going on. If you THOUGHT that, you are simple. Araiza was drafted as THE REPLACEMENT for Haack, not THE COMPETITION for him 😂😂. This was OBVIOUS to anyone with an IQ above 9.

I found it quite surprising as well. It looks like Brady (players love him), Mahomes and Rodgers will all be ranked ahead of him. Aaron Donald is obviously in the top 10 as well. It’ll be interesting to see the other players ranked ahead of him. How many WRs (Kupp, Adams, Jefferson, Hill and Deebo haven’t come on yet)? Taylor AND Henry? Jalen Ramsey? TJ Watt? Trent Williams? Kelce? Myles Garrett?

Warner (47) Juszczyk (100) Ward (96)

Agreed but he isn’t in the top 10 🤷🏻‍♂️

Correct (Chargers have 8 and 49ers have 7). The 49ers have 4 of the top 25!! Bosa at 25, Kittle at 22, Deebo and Trent Williams still to come.
