Stank_Nasty Posted August 28, 2019 Share Posted August 28, 2019 6 minutes ago, Logic said: I'm not sure where my original post stated anything about how he's played lately. I simply pointed out that he's a top all time kicker and it was nice that the Seahawks messed up and let him go. That being said...I get the Bills fans are nervous about him, but the worry is a bit overblown, in my opinion. If you want to see a kicking game that gives real cause for concern, go look at the Bears or the Jets. you didn't mention how he played lately. that's the point.... just mentioning what he's done in his career doesn't paint the whole picture.... he hasn't played anything like a top 10 kicker since the jets cheap shot and that includes this preseason. hopefully its the holder issue. I would guess by the extension that's what the bills FO is banking on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These guys can get hot and cold and very good ones can lose it for a while or forever without a lot of warning. I'll keep my fingers crossed he will keep it together at least this season. He's certainly been fantastic in the past. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He caught a case of the yips in 2016 when it came to extra points. He was able to recover the following year with us. He may have caught the yips again after that injury. Hopefully, if he did he can quickly correct it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billsbackto81 Posted August 28, 2019 Share Posted August 28, 2019 I knew his preseason woes were nothing but a smokescreen. It looked like he wasn't even trying, just punching the ball instead of snapping the leg through the kick. Pretty sure we see our "Hausch Money" kicker back to his money ways this season.

billieve420 Posted August 28, 2019 Share Posted August 28, 2019 (edited) Not in love with this move. Hopefully, it doesn't burn us like Eric Wood's extension. Edited August 28, 2019 by billieve420 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aristocrat Posted August 28, 2019 Share Posted August 28, 2019 Kicker is the most important spot outside qb in the nfl with how close these games are. Just imagine we could be the bears Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LSHMEAB Posted August 29, 2019 Share Posted August 29, 2019 The one thing I love about Haushka is that he never appears to be rattled and that is generally reflected in his approach to the ball; very calm and consistent. He has definitely regressed, so it's a concern, but I have a greater level of trust in him than I did in MANY previous kickers in high leverage situations. I'll never forget the Rian Lindell days. I'm sure he wasn't as bad as I remember, but he APPEARED very nervous when it mattered most. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RobbRiddick Posted August 29, 2019 Share Posted August 29, 2019 Kickers have a great life really. Lots of cash, hardly ever hit, hardly ever see the field. All they have to worry about is missing in a huge game and having an entire fan base hating them for eternity Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
