Back2Buff Posted January 10, 2022 Author Share Posted January 10, 2022 (edited) Funny how Jets punter had the same issues in 1st and 4th quarter that Haack had in 2nd and 3rd. Edited January 10, 2022 by Back2Buff 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Jets punter dropped a snap, too? Passers and punters have struggled throwing and kicking into that wind since the stadium was built. That said, Haack is just not a very good punter.

He got a punt blocked because he took too long dealing with the wind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He should have still caught it, but something looked off with that snap, I thought we were gonna get a false start the way the line moved on that snap. Something was botched there.

Ridgewaycynic2013 Posted January 10, 2022 Share Posted January 10, 2022 3 hours ago, BillsDiehard said: The Bills obviously acknowledge we have a punter issue as we're carrying one for 3 weeks on our practice squad. I don't think any other team is carrying a second punter...very odd. 'Backdooring' him for the International Player Position, after Christian Wade rightfully takes his place in the 2022 season as #1 RB. 😁 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Complain about Haack all you want (I agree he sucks) but the decision to let Bojo go wasn't just about the money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wacka Posted January 10, 2022 Share Posted January 10, 2022 (edited) I was at the game. Both punters against the wind had problems against the wind. As soon as the ball got up there, it died. When they punted with the wind, they were good .If they had a god punt against the wind, it was because the wind luckily died just before the snap.

It’s a skill that can improved upon. Practice, practice. More practice. But I do get why some wouldn’t want him because of that….it makes sense. signing haack never made sense to me. Especially on a 3 year deal that included dead cap of almost 1M if he sucked, like we thought he might. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevestojan Posted January 10, 2022 Share Posted January 10, 2022 The punter should be like a baseball umpire. You’ve done your job well if no one notices you were there. Unfortunately, Mr holds-the-ball-forever-while-overthinking-the-wind-factor-from-hand-to-foot was extremely noticeable yesterday and one could argue is the reason we lost to the Steelers. Absolutely no excuse for his performance. But he has the team by the balls since changing Bass’ holder at this point seems dangerous. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D. L. Hot-Flamethrower Posted January 10, 2022 Share Posted January 10, 2022 I especially liked how he adjusted to shanking his first one, he got a second chance and did it again...and for good measure did it again. If there is somebody more reliable out there we need them now! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

billsfan89 Posted January 10, 2022 Share Posted January 10, 2022 Haack really cost this team against the hapless Jets. That's not to say that he is the sole reason that the game was uncomfortable until late but he certainly was a major factor in letting the Jets "hang around". I can forgive shanking the first punt twice. I don't know if his ST coach showed him a new way to punt in the wind and was attempting to do that. So it might be on the ST coach in some sense. However he at least got on the right track after muffing the punt and was able to punt decently into the wind. I wouldn't change at this point mainly because he is still a really good holder for Bass and is there anyone else out there that would be that much better? I hope that Haack at least learns from the Jets game. The team survived and got a comfortable win and Haack got somewhat on track after the first half struggles punting at least respectably.

PetermansRedemption Posted January 10, 2022 Share Posted January 10, 2022 I feel like we may want to bring in someone who isn’t Haack. His play yesterday was inexcusable. In the playoffs, even one of those mistakes likely loses the game. That’s something we can’t afford to risk. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ColoradoBills Posted January 10, 2022 Share Posted January 10, 2022 Haack played college in Arizona and then in Miami. He needs to be outside this week during practice. I have to seriously think that he will face some real competition in camp next year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Orlando Tim Posted January 10, 2022 Share Posted January 10, 2022 I think Haack was trying to be cute with his kicks yesterday and when the weather is as it was you just boot it. In good weather you can expect the ball to drop straight but when 2 mm is the difference between good and awful January in Buffalo is not the time.
