Einstein Posted January 17 Share Posted January 17 (edited) Touchbacks incoming. Or maybe we just won’t punt. That would be nice. Edited January 17 by Einstein 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brand J Posted January 17 Share Posted January 17 Kudos to all who called the move. At least Bass is familiar with him. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Touchbacks are not great, but even worse would be getting a Matt Haack Special off the side of his foot for 15 yards while backed up in our end. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Logic Posted January 17 Share Posted January 17 I think the hierarchy of effectiveness is something like: Sam Martin The ghost of Tom Tupa Josh Allen arm-punting Matt Haack Sam Martin on one hamstring. So technically, this is an improvement. I would've called Tupa's ghost, personally. (p.s. the Bills weren't going to insert Matt "one preseason punt and no experience holding in real games" Araiza into a playoff game at a time their kicker is slumping a bit. Wasn't gonna happen. Move on) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Royale with Cheese Posted January 17 Share Posted January 17 Where is KC going to find a left footed punter for their returners to practice catching on? This is a gigantic advantage and could be the key FA signing of Beane's era. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Move on) the arm punt is always interesting that shows the IQ of a player. i never understand why so many times a defender catches those passes as an int. the best thing to do is catch it and drop it all in the same move if you can't 100% knock it down. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heavy Kevi Posted January 17 Share Posted January 17 I know he's got "holding chemistry" with bass, but haack is not good and neither has bass been this year. So maybe he will make bass a better kicker this playoffs? It's not like there's a FA out there with a nickname like "punt god" or anything, so we'll just take what we can get 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolutely. As a matter of fact, that just came up in the Dolphins game. That 4th down prayer that Josh Allen winged 40 yards downfield, into the endzone? The Dolphins player should have knocked that down instead of picking it off. Cost his team a lot of yards. It was also an instance where throwing an interception in the end zone was a better outcome for the Bills than Josh throwing an incomplete pass there, which illustrates that not all interceptions are created equally. But of course the national narrative around Josh's turnovers isn't ready for that level of nuance. **Edit: All of that said, it's probably hard in the heat of the moment and with all that adrenaline flowing to remember to knock a pass down instead of catch it. Everything a DB does in his career is geared toward "pick it off!". There may also be financial incentives in various players' contracts for interceptions or for Pro Bowls (which interception numbers help).
