Bangarang Posted September 4, 2017 Share Posted September 4, 2017 So is the importance of special teams the same as it was say 10 years ago with the recent rule changes? Simple yes or no Yes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MAJBobby Posted September 4, 2017 Share Posted September 4, 2017 Yes Ha ok. Maybe kicker. KO coverage is a joke return is a joke But hey to each his own. Bills forever loading up on Special Teams players Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bills forever loading up on Special Teams players I never liked when players and coaches say ST are 1/3 of the game. Clearly they are not and with KO returns all but eliminated it leaves FGs, XPs and punting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bills forever loading up on Special Teams players Special teams is so much more than just kickoffs. And if anything, teams are probably better off not kicking off for touch backs and instead give teams a shot at a return. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the ball is in the endzone down it. Otherwise doesnt matter because your return will have the infamous ST penalty anyway So its a joke when you have 7 players that ONLY can play ST on your roster Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nucci Posted September 4, 2017 Share Posted September 4, 2017 WIDE RIGHT pretty much was the whole season, oh yeah and kick coverage for the mush city non miracle The KO rules have changed a bit since Nashville, don't you think. and 47 yd FGs are considered very makeable by todays Ks....my points were rules have changed and all STs are not as important...you're giving me examples from 26 and 18 years ago Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeSpeed Posted September 4, 2017 Share Posted September 4, 2017 (edited) Do you know what will be funnier than the stadium wall if we lose Sunday?

Probably because you need a QB to compete in it and we have yet to get one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SoTier Posted September 4, 2017 Share Posted September 4, 2017 (edited) I think others would disagree Sorry but it's time to finish this. If we have to sacrifice 1 season where we weren't going to win anyhow then so be it. We finally have a gm that's not afraid to make the tough moves. Did you see Rosen last night? It's time to get a QB that will win us a super bowl. Enough of this mediocrity. ROTFLMAO! When have I heard this song before??? Every time the Bills change HCs!!!! Honey chile, the Bills aren't going to sacrifice 1 season, they're going to continue to sacrifice all their seasons into the foreseeable future! They have one of the oldest rosters in the NFL because they continually send their best younger players packing rather than pay them just like they've done over the last 15 or so years! They don't plan for the future at all: they have a 35-year-old starting LG and a 30+ year old starting C and no player on the team who even remotely could adequately replace them ... and the right side of the line remains a sieve. Kyle Williams is 34 or 35, and it's likely Dareus will be gone before next season. What do the Bills do for DTs then??? Preston Brown is coming up on a contract year next year or the one after. He's probably all ready slated to be gone. Then they'll replace the older players drafted by previous administrations with rookies and waiver wire dumpster finds and be one of the youngest teams in the league ... and THAT will be their excuse. The Bills have been "building" and then "rebuilding" for 17 years and have all of two -- count 'em! -- winning seasons of 9-7 to show for all that personnel change. The only difference between Beane and McDermott and Whaley and Marrone or Ryan is that they're not their predecessors. Enjoy your fantasy of some overhyped college QB taking the Bills to the Super Bowl in the next 2-3 years this season because it ain't happening. McDermott and Beane and the bean-counters in the Bills FO have insured that it's not happening. Oh, and BTW, all the failed GM/HC regimes over the last 17 have made all these same dumbassed moves at one time or another in the past ... including drafting a QB in the first round.

Does that hold true for the league in general? Not smart enough to do the research to find out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bill_with_it Posted September 4, 2017 Share Posted September 4, 2017 I don't even know if you're serious. He's been pretty much of an ironman so far in his career and hasn't been medically cleared to play. It's not like he sprained his ankle.Its not like hes been medically cleared and still wont play due to pain... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
