Trade or draft could be cheapest route. There are not a ton of free agents this year either so good year to be a free agent WR. Biggest names are Evans, Pittman, Higgins, OBJ, Ridley, Davis. The next level are guys like Boyd, Samuel, Osborn, Bourne, Mooney, Chark.

The punter said players and people from the Bills organization have checked on him frequently over the last year, and still do. As for what’s next, the punter said he has not stopped training and is ready for another chance in the NFL. Joe Linta, Araiza’s agent, confirmed in a call with FOX 5 Wednesday that NFL teams have been calling him since the lawsuit against him was dropped.

Michael Turk is worth a shot. Was a holder in college and as well. Corliss Waitman was released from NE practice squad. He beat out Martin for the job in DEN when the Bills signed Martin. Has also been a holder. Call Araiza and see if he is looking for a job.

That is impacted by the low gross number, lack of hang time, and punting to the middle of the field.

31st in both net and gross yards per punt. I would call that bottom.

Per punt

Martin is awful. He is bottom of the pack in gross and net yards. He is in the bottom half in punts inside the 20. Bring in some competition.

It is a week by week league. This year more than ever. We beat DAL this week and we have all the momentum yet are likely still out of a playoff spot technically. Each win and we are step closer. Depending on how other games go we have a shot at essentially any seed. Things go really weird we still have a shot at #1.

Great week for the Bills

Two wrongs dont make a right. Just because he is better than Dorsey does not make it good enough. The play-calling is head scratching. The personnel is odd at times. Our downfield passing game is primarily backyard football not play design. Our ability to make adjustments is lacking.

All in the first half...

We are 3-6 in one score games. That is not a positive. I am confused...

Drive 1 - 4 of the first 5 plays in the third were runs by Cook. He ran for 11, 3, 15, and 6 yards...clearly was working. The ran 5 more plays that drive and no Cook. Drive stalled and ended in field goal. Drives 2, 3, 4 - The next 14 plays only 1 Cook run and 3 drives ending in a punt. One of the ugliest stretches of the year with two drives netting negative yards. So after Cook running 4 times for 35 yards they go 19 plays with only 1 run and no passes to Cook. Drive 5 - Starts with 2 Cook runs and that is it for the 12 play drive. The big catch by Harty is the play that saves this drive. Then the penalty to give the Bills a first with 2:12 left...Cook time right? Nope, 3 straight passes and only 15 seconds and no KC TO's burned. We got very lucky...

The kicking game in the NFL has drastically changed. Kickers that have made 55+ yard field goals this year = 19 Kickers that have made 60+ yard field goals this year = 5

We are most dangerous when our back is coming out of the backfield. Its juts a numbers game - cant guard everyone. Our WR's dont get a ton of separation so when our back and/or TE is pass protecting its tough to get guys open. They need to get more creative and keep Cook on the field and a big part of the passing game.

Agree on Martin. Has to go. I give Bass the pass. But it does seem like they don’t trust him kicking anything beyond 50, meanwhile many kickers around the league are hitting 55 plus yarders and Bass is one of the highest paid in the league.

Maybe Pit. Indy has an easier schedule so need this loss. Pit has games vs cin, sea and bal so could lose one of those.

We lose head to head to den and cin. If we are tied with pit, cle or ind they likely have a better conf record or else there would not be a tie breaker needed.

Anyone who watched UB knows that o was awful. But hopefully this is just another set of eyes for Brady and maybe both have jobs under a new oc next year.

And our rb was clearly having a day. Weird how they got away from it.

Rules are rules

We were due for one of these. But this team is still not right. So many concerning things. I am still hoping for the playoff and what happens but there are serious issues.

Brady is not the answer. It’s not a lot different than Dorsey. He may be hurting us let but we need a real oc. Brady can stay as qb coach. Yeah some of the stretches were the worst our o has looked in a few years. Completely lost.

Finally a Sunday night I don’t feel like shi$. A long way to go. They tried to give his one away. The o game plan offer the Allen pick was awful. The quick screen pass is the new shotgun draw. We need to either go all out air raid or run a west coast offense under center runs and quick passes with mixing in deep balls on play action and double moves. This speed spread thing or whatever they cal it does not work.

Only McD playing thanking the lord he stopped a 4th and 15. Like we got lucky.
