I was curious about this, and was talking to a friend about this during the game. On punts, the snow was essentially playing the role of the punt returner. In the sense the ball was not rolling, and dropping dead when it hit the ground. Muffing the ball was also a concern on punt returns. On the other side of the punt plays, teams were taking a longer time to get the punt off it seemed, and chances of the punter muffing the snap are increased in the snow.
So why not have no punt returner and attempt to block the punts with an extra man rushing? Am I clueless or decent idea? Not saying the bills should have done this, just football discussion.
