Listen kicking in Buffalo is not easy.. it's the hardest professional stadium to kick in statistically
That means the Buffalo kicker.. needs a plus plus leg... With plus accuracy... And can kick with wind in his face or cross...
It's the windiest stadium in the league... With consistently some of the worst weather
It's not easy... I'm not giving Tyler bass a pass... He's paid to make the kicks
But it's not like kicking in Indianapolis... Tyler bass already has a natural fade in his kicking motion... His ball moves left to right.. which is why he lines up on the left hash mark for Pat's
He's never been great on the right hash mark which is where he took the kick from versus the Chiefs... He needs to improve from the right hash mark
And cut down on the fade a bit
I think Bass is probably toast. I praise the Bills kickers since SN11. It’s actually a bright spot in my Bills memory bank how surprising well they’ve done kickers. Completely understand the difficulties of the job. Bass’s stock fade is bad for his job. I think we have enough to cut losses and make something else happen. Even an old reliable type can be dependable at 50yds in January. I’d be interested in what’s available.

Because the league consensus is that Sam Martin was a much better holder than Corey b
And his holding struggles were overblown... He wasn't re signed because he would call his own fake field goal
And then shank off 21 yard punt ...
When Sam Martin was signed here our front office talked about his ability to hold lol which is funny... Because I want to hear about my punters ability to boom off 70 yard punts with hang time
With your data and context, punter’s agents will get paid more: punters will get paid more.The holder/punter “laces out”career/season/month/weather/home-away/turf-grass/indoors-out/Q1-Q2-Q3-Q4-OT/regular season-playoff percentages will fit squarely in the scoreboard graphic.
Then, as you already know, a 54th roster spot is added.

I can't believe, this journeyman punter with a noodle leg , for NFL standards
Gets this much attention
Holding is one of the most overblown aspects that this board cares about lol
Yeah it's important but the skill to learn it is vastly overrated and people here think it's challenging...
People said Corey b sucked at holding... I went through every single hold over his multiple years here and he didn't have laces in more than eight times... Hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of holds eight times laces were in...
I haven't gone through Sam Martin's.. but I can guarantee you he did not have laces in more than a few times... And it doesn't even impact the kick much
It messes up the kicker's mind... Which shows they are the feeble one
Corey b went to the browns and their kicker says he's the best holder he ever had.. but he was trash according to this board
See how easy it is to learn to hold? You can go from trash to the best a kickers ever had fairly quick
Any athlete can learn the skill and it's not tough... There's never been a punter who is cut because of his holding skills LOL they cut you for shanking 12-yard punts
just wondering what in the hell you’re waiting for?? Championships aren’t given to you—they’re earned

We’ve been gifted relief of an automatic loss. We should rejoice. -
The Bills and their punters..

I don't mind it being there but be sure to fix that field as last thing you want is teams getting players hurt in the most important game of the season.
NFL don’t care if both rosters drop dead at kickoff. The money’s been made by then.Of the Super Bowl ever gets played outside the US, I’ll lose it. I already hate myself for liking the NFL as much as I do.

You don't rush for 2003 yards in 14 games (avg. 143 yds per game) often against stacked boxes wothout being that good. Props to the Electric Company (his OL because they turned on the Juice).
My dad & I rooted for the Baltimore Colts before the Bills came to town in 1960.
After that our teams were AFL: the Bills; NFL: the Colts.
I remember attending games in the Rockpile with my dad. You'd pay a homeowner to park on his lawn because parking was a nightmare. When the Rockpile was built not everyone owned a car. My butt still hurts from sitting on those concrete bleacher seats despite the folded blankets we sat on.
Florio did the easy math and stated that OJ would run for 2431 in today’s NFL. It’s cute when a runningback gets within A THOUSAND yards of that now.

Born, raised and still living in Northern California, I grew up as my family were all 49'ers fans, except me.
I guess I wanted to be the rebel and choose whichever team I wanted to cheer for. At one point I was a Dolphins fan.
I watched a lot of college football, too. Even though I wasn't a fan of the Miami Hurricanes, I really liked Jim Kelly.
When he eventually began to play for the Bills, I started paying attention to the Bills, as nearly impossible it was for a person on the west coast at that time.
I began to learn more about the team, and by 1986-87 I was a full fledged Bills fan, and have been ever since.
Never jumped ship after the Super Bowl losses and the drought. I never will. GO BILLS!!!
Hod, you got out of the 49ers in the early 80s.. for the Bills.. I don’t think I’d ever forgive myself. -
Birthright. That I sometimes get pissy with.

I love that movie. Heat was so intense. One of the best gunfights in a movie I’ve ever seen.
The whole thing is just so good. Even Job Voight telling Neil that Hanna thinks he’s sharp. Every scene was great. -
Bad news, these guys are costing a ton.
the good news is the contracts are getting much shorter.

hmmmm see how Diggs likes them apples. Ain’t gonna be a $72mil decoy.

He really disappointed last year. Whatever happened there. Now I’m just accepting the fact that he’s on the team, and I’m ignoring that he’s a first round pick. Just hoping for him to contribute like a real Bills employee. He’s got a really cool jersey # too.

I will admit it, I clicked through hoping for photos.
This is ridiculous: The lawsuit alleges the Jaguars committed gross negligence by failing to properly hire McManus, train him about inappropriate and sexual contact with flight staff, supervise him on the flight, adopt policies and procedures to protect flight staff from sexual misconduct by its employees, and enforcing a zero-tolerance policy regarding inappropriate behavior.
They are just suing the deep pockets, looking for their out of court nuisance settlement.
The NFL better hire Jordan Belfort to handle these airborne slimeballs. -

The Bills can never catch these guys on the field, and the cops never get them out on the streets. The Chiefs are very elusive fellas.

This is such a significant story this preseason. He’s older, but he’s a phenomenal athlete, not some bum. If he really needed that full+ year to get it back, wow. As with the start of the 2022 season, VM40 is a game changer for this team.
Of course I want to say “He’s finish!” Because that’s the last thing I saw him do. But it’s a very real possibility that he comes on to play like he did a couple years ago. He ain’t that old.

Inside. Quick hits. Screens. End arounds, jet sweeps.
I’d like to see what he can do with an expanded route tree. I want to see the mid stuff, and not just backside drags.
Can he throw? Can any player throw besides Allen? The ol’ Julian Edelman is a nice play to hold. -

With the new stadium on the way I bet the Sabres get to host another outdoor winter classic game down the line.
Bingo (on why there’s no roof) -
Cool. Just goes to show how wild it was for Beane and McDermott to make a deal with the devil (Diggs). After the implosion, there’s a much MUCH less likely chance they look for that player-type ever again.

Thank you OP. I am also on board with eliminating arm punts.

My father was an odd man in many ways. He hated flies near his food so picnics were out of the question…..until they all had too much to drink one New Year’s Eve and someone said “There won’t be any flies out tomorrow” on New Year’s Day. And so the tradition of the New Year’s Day picnic in a state park with Bloody Mary’s, bacon and eggs and snowmobiles was born.
There’s your random memory of the day.
I thought there was no way. This made my day.
Yes, dad’s have the strangest quirks. Like freezing at a picnic because of a fly.

Hey! Can I just add, regardless of how many WRs got drafted before KC0, we have an organizational sign-off on a rookie WR1 coming to town this season. It should be hella fun watching this play out. Coleman is going to make some catches that we haven’t seen here in a while, maybe ever. He is going to go up and take one away from the defensive and look like a superior, talented. mega beast compared to all other players on the field. And he’s a personality. This is going to be cool.

It’s okay to have reservations on this one, only because it hasn’t happened yet. It’s just fact that Allen’s superstar years are with Diggs lined up.
