Bakin Posted October 30, 2017 Share Posted October 30, 2017 I haven't seen it mentioned but wow how well did our ST play today? Automatic FGs and XPs Booming and well placed punts Creative kickoffs Superb coverage and forced fumble. Keep it up boys! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HansLanda Posted October 30, 2017 Share Posted October 30, 2017 Our kickers are playing lights out - it matters - and when you cause turnovers at any time, that is also not a bad thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sammy Watkins' Rib Posted October 30, 2017 Share Posted October 30, 2017 Schmidt seems to be regaining his form after somewhat of a down year last year. All the squib kicking was making me nervous for fear of one going out of bounds eventually. Plus we gave up a huge return but likely got the holding call. And Patterson ripped off a big return too. But yeah, overall, those guys are really attacking the football and trying to get it out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kelly the Dog Posted October 30, 2017 Share Posted October 30, 2017 I liked the idea of the low line drive kickoffs on a wet field and away from Patterson. Just a good call. Schmidt was very good all day. Hauschka was solid as usual and big props for causing a fumble. The coverage units have been good all year. Maybe one long return. Not sure what fans think of Crossman now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rico Posted October 30, 2017 Share Posted October 30, 2017 Reminded me of the Super Bowl years, our ST back then came up with game-changing turnovers so many times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillnutinHouston Posted October 30, 2017 Share Posted October 30, 2017 Schmidt's punt inside the 3 was a thing of beauty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigBuff423 Posted October 30, 2017 Share Posted October 30, 2017 We need a "Fire Crossman" thread. Seriously, so many of us were wrong. Good for McD knowing and trusting what he saw....ST has been huge for Bills this year, likely the difference in most of these games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good for McD knowing and trusting what he saw....ST has been huge for Bills this year, likely the difference in most of these games. McD is one of those coaches that puts a ton of stock in special teams, designs his active roster around it to some degree, prefers a reserve who is a little less of a player at his position to one that is better at ST. Spends a lot of time in practice on it. And it shows. The first year that Marrone was around (iirc) we signed a bunch of guys like Corey Graham and Boobie Dixon who were ST demons and it showed (they weren't the only two). Then the next year it seemed we didn't care as much and Crossman was crucified for being an idiot. Schmidt punted horribly last year. This year he is killing it. Not sure how much of that can be coaching. I like our kickers. Ill be hard pressed to buy that crossman suddenly became a good coach. Kickers have been great. But Schmidt sucked last year. McBeane have put a lot of stock in guys who can play special teams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

klos63 Posted October 30, 2017 Share Posted October 30, 2017 I like our kickers. Ill be hard pressed to buy that crossman suddenly became a good coach. that's right, he only has a job because of Marrone... Schmidt's punt inside the 3 was a thing of beauty. He's been excellent all season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ganesh Posted October 30, 2017 Share Posted October 30, 2017 +1. The only thing that keeps ST's spectacular is the KR team. They are almost on the verge of giving up a huge play only to bring it back due to a penalty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big C Posted October 30, 2017 Share Posted October 30, 2017 Whoaaaaaa forgot about that. When has a kicker ever forced a fumble?? There was a graphic in another thread... apparently he is also the previous kicker to force a fumble. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TPS Posted October 30, 2017 Share Posted October 30, 2017 Hmmm, personally the kickoff coverage has me a little worried. All else looks solid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
