ngbills Posted November 14, 2023 Share Posted November 14, 2023 How do they get a free pass? The unit has been weak all season. Last night they were just as guilty in losing the game. The 12 man is just part of it, there were also two terrible punts that gave DEN the ball at the 48 resulting in a TD and another at the 46 that was DEN other TD. So both crappy 17 net punts giving DEN the ball at midfield and the only TD's of the night. 7 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He can’t kick in cold windy climates and our HC gets burned every week by him. Our punt coverage team doesn’t lock up .and takes bad angles. That’s why our defense deserves credit, they made up for some sloppy football last night. 1 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuffaloRebound Posted November 14, 2023 Share Posted November 14, 2023 Or the 40 yard kickoff return with 5 missed tackles. I guess you can’t start firing and cutting everyone because then the finger only gets pointed back at 1 person, but short of a turnaround miracle McDermott will be gone come January. This is all just window dressing and McDermott having earned the right to coach for his job the next 7 games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigAl2526 Posted November 14, 2023 Share Posted November 14, 2023 Special teams was a mess yesterday. There does need to be some accountability here. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The irony is the broadcast had celebrated our Special Teams coach earlier in the evening, as he is a veteran. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DrDawkinstein Posted November 14, 2023 Share Posted November 14, 2023 Special Teams was the 1st to get scapegoated after 13 seconds. The current group will be gone soon enough, once McD is canned after the season. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoyBatty is alive Posted November 14, 2023 Share Posted November 14, 2023 Also, who instructs the returners on kickoffs to return the ball when they have defenders on top of them, any of them know the rule for a fair catch to start at the 25?

Freddie's Dead Posted November 14, 2023 Share Posted November 14, 2023 Punting isn't about line drives. I can live with those. BUT THEY CAN'T BE IN THE MIDDLE OF THE FIELD!!! It gives the PR too many options. Pin them to one side of the field, and the sideline is your friend. Any punt that Martin doesn't get downed inside the 20 is straight down the middle. I said it last night in the GDT, time for the Bills to make it right with Araiza. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Never NEVER Give-up Posted November 14, 2023 Share Posted November 14, 2023 I still say the Bills should pursue the exonerated Matt Araiza. Just because he was a horn-dog at 21 doesn't mean he shouldn't be able to get an NFL job now. I have news for everyone, all the pro athletes are horn dogs! 2 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This was the biggest event in Matt Araiza's life; this would also just have been another Wednesday for Jim Kelly. Bring him back. 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJS Posted November 14, 2023 Share Posted November 14, 2023 We need a new punter. He has horrible punts at the worst times. I thought it was idiotic that they kept punting the ball to their returner. Kick away from him. He was killing us all night. Obviously the 12 men on the field call was atrocious. Really bad all around on special teams yesterday.

gjv Posted November 14, 2023 Share Posted November 14, 2023 I would think that bringing Matt Araiza in for a tryout is the right thing to do, both morally and perhaps for the betterment of the team. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you’re a healthy, fit athlete in your early 20s, plenty of $$, nice wheels, …lots of very attractive women will be available for your pleasure. You’re either a horn dog or just not into chicks. Not too many other choices. Edited November 14, 2023 by SoMAn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gjv Posted November 14, 2023 Share Posted November 14, 2023 If the Bills fired or cut everyone associated with the team for a bonehead play this year, they would have to suit up Terry Pegula and 21 of his closest friends. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was un ***** believable it wasn't a guy who just couldn't get off the field in time, the 12 were right there in the middle of the field like they all thought they were supposed to be there, we also had timeouts though it would probably have functioned the exact same way of giving them two tries at the FG.

Most of this change should come at the end of the season; they will also all be gone automatically if McDermott is gone. Have to see how things develop.
