Big Turk Posted October 11, 2022 Share Posted October 11, 2022 (edited) ESPN only shows 31 players since Sam Martin doesn't have enough attempts to qualify 😂🤣 Bills might also be the only team in NFL history that has fans boo their team for punting while up 35 points in the 4th quarter with the backups in. It's just not acceptable to punt, ever, we don't care who is out there.

Inigo Montoya Posted October 11, 2022 Share Posted October 11, 2022 Sam Martin was previously know as Sammy "The Hammer" Giordano. He turned State's evidence on the mob and was placed into the Federal Witness Protection Program. The U.S. Marshals thought being the Buffalo Bills punter was the best place to keep him out of sight. 1 17 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eball Posted October 11, 2022 Share Posted October 11, 2022 9 punts through 5 games extrapolates to 30.6 punts over a 17-game season. Now, we can't really expect this run to continue (can we?) but it's amazing. Where is @ScottLaw to berate my preseason suggestion the Bills might punt fewer than 50 times this year? 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No NFL team has ever finished a season averaging under 2 punts per game. The closest were the 1990 Oilers who averaged 2.13 punts per game, punting only 34 times in a 16 game season. Bills currently on pace to shatter that record at 1.8 punts per game. 2021 Chiefs were the next best team averaging 2.35 punts per game followed by the 1982 Chargers, 2020 Bills and 2019 Ravens all at 2.56. Surprisingly none of the great SB Bills teams made this list. Edited October 11, 2022 by Big Turk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now, we can't really expect this run to continue (can we?) but it's amazing. Where is @ScottLaw to berate my preseason suggestion the Bills might punt fewer than 50 times this year? Well...consider the fact that the Bills have only punted 5 times with the starters in and it becomes even MORE astounding. 4 of the punts have happened during the 4th quarter mop of duty by the backups. Twice in the Titan game and twice in the Steeler game. So literally the biggest threat to us breaking that record, even shattering that record, might be them being too good and having the backups play too much in he 4th quarter, leading to punts. 1 minute ago, eball said: Here’s the crazy thing…we’ve only punted 9 times because two of our games were blowouts before the 4th quarter and Keenum came in. Yes...4 of the punts have been with the backups in...2 each in the Titan and Steeler game thanks to Keenum and Company. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe...would have preferred to see him aim outside the upright and let it blow back in, but he has kicked there a lot more than I have so maybe that doesn't work well. Second mishit ball he has had in 5 games...that 38 yarder against Miami would have missed to the left even it wasn't partially blocked.
