SWATeam Posted October 4, 2013 Share Posted October 4, 2013 Cost us the game. There is this rule where if you kick the ball real high the other team will fair catch. That first return was the worst. Kicked from about mid field there is rarely a return... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KDIGGZ Posted October 4, 2013 Share Posted October 4, 2013 He needs to learn how to play the position. Hang time is just as important if not more important than distance. That's something Moorman understood Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DefenseWinzChampionshipz Posted October 4, 2013 Share Posted October 4, 2013 3rd and 18 against the Bills? Move the chains! "Pettine's way" looks good on 3rd and shorts but gets converted on, on 3rd and longs... What does that really say about the D? That being said, it's BECAUSE of the defense that we even won 2 games... I'm so disappointed with this even being a close game. Offense is killing us... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
n3wyork13 Posted October 4, 2013 Share Posted October 4, 2013 (edited) I couldnt believe after the first punt to gordon where he almost broke it that we even dared to kick in the proximity of him. Edited October 4, 2013 by n3wyork13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peace Frog Posted October 4, 2013 Author Share Posted October 4, 2013 Between his shanks and poor hang time, he hurt us in that game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That being said, it's BECAUSE of the defense that we even won 2 games... I'm so disappointed with this even being a close game. Offense is killing us... We were playing with two hurt RBs, without our top WR, and with our backup QB in his first game. That's hard for any team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's hard for any team. Yeah I'm sorry but that two hurt RB's comment is wrong... Were they dinged up? Sure... Did it stop Freddy from breaking a couple tackles? Did it slow CJ down on the 54 yard run? No... The WR not being on the field was obviously the reason why the passing game got thrown off a bit and the crucial one was EJ going down and Tuel not being ready. Weeden didn't even take a practice rep in 2 weeks according to the analysts after the game and was throwing the ball pretty decent once he shook the rust off... Tuel on the other hand has been taking practice reps since minicamp and looked like Mark Sanchez on a bad day...

Pirate Angel Posted October 4, 2013 Share Posted October 4, 2013 There has to be a free agent punter out there that is better than Powell Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DefenseWinzChampionshipz Posted October 4, 2013 Share Posted October 4, 2013 There has to be a free agent punter out there that is better than Powell I'm sure there's a decent soccer player out there that can be taught how to kick an American football... Preferably a goalie. They kick a round soccer ball from one goal to the other which is about 80 yards I believe. I'm sure he can kick a football at least 60 yards with major hang time...

Dragonborn10 Posted October 4, 2013 Share Posted October 4, 2013 Powell has to go. He is awful. Admit the mistake and move on. He is good for a shank a game. Hopkins had better be ready to go next week or they should put him on IR. They are so thin on the offensive line and QB. That roster spot should be used for a third QB or a lineman.

I too have been puzzled by carrying two kickers. Makes no sense to me. BTW, I have not ever been a fan of Powell, but his kick on the TD was pretty damn close to perfect. Long, right along the sideline...right where it was supposed to be I am guessing , just piss poor coverage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billsfan_34 Posted October 4, 2013 Share Posted October 4, 2013 I don't even know what to say. Powell sucks like a brand new cryo pump. I have been saying this all year. Hes horrible, sometimes no hang time and when he tries to angle a punt out of bounds he puts us in bad spots. Last night I think he hit a 30 yard punt out of bounds from around our 25. And pinning the ball he cant do either. Such a huge liability !!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordio Posted October 4, 2013 Share Posted October 4, 2013 I don't even know what to say. Powell sucks like a brand new cryo pump. Could not agree more. I said last week the way he kicks if he booms it he has no hangtime, the opponant is going to return a punt for a td. THe problem is if he does not boom it he shanks it. He has no in between punt. He sucks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sisyphean Bills Posted October 4, 2013 Share Posted October 4, 2013 It looked like they were trying to punt to one sideline or the other but the kicks were often drifting back out in the middle of the field. Or going 25 yards and straight out of bounds. It wasn't much of a clinic on directional punting for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thr_wedge Posted October 4, 2013 Share Posted October 4, 2013 Thumbs up on the cryo pump :-) Though I'd rather have a nice new cryo pump on punt duty than Powell. It's bad when turning it over on downs is a better option over 50% of the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Southtown Tommy Posted October 4, 2013 Share Posted October 4, 2013 Shortsighted when they cut Stahovich. They didn't even give him the second preseason game against Minnesota to compete. He didn't have the leg, maybe 5 yards shorter than Powell, but he had good hang time and he understood how to kick directionally. Powell feels the need to boom the ball after a shank, the problem, the boom has 2.5 sec hang time. It's time to bring Moorman or Stahovich back!!

dhg Posted October 4, 2013 Share Posted October 4, 2013 This guy has ZERO touch. I thought he was going to cost us the Ravens game and while he wasn't the sole reason that we lost to the Browns, he was one of the biggest reasons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
