    Well, we still save money cutting Star, even if it's just $2M, it's still money in our pocket. If we cut Hughes, we'd end up spending more to cut him than to keep him and pay him.

     

    That all said, after the last couple weeks (especially yesterday), and if they keep playing like they have been, both will be around next year and rightfully so.

     

    There's no "saving" because they'd have to pay his dead cap space AND hire a replacement. 

     

    I think bringing in Liuget and Taylor woke up Star. Same thing that may have happened to Oliver. One thing this new group isn't shy about is benching guys who aren't performing.

    from 20-29 chase is 4-4

              30-39        3-3

              40-49 Chase is 5-9. Yes 5-9 

              50-59        1-1    Too small of a sample to say he's consistent from long range.

    From 20-39 Hauschka is 3-3

               30-39       4-5

               40-49       7-8

               50-59       1-5  Yes 1-5

    My point here is Chase isn't any better that Hauschka. In fact where it really counts(40-49), he's been inconsistent. Hauschka doesn't have the leg Chase does, but he's a lot better in the 40-49 situations. Chase isn't any better than Hauschka, so I doubt the staff will let emotions get the better of them. If they can find a better kicker, fine, but Chase isn't it. It was really amusing how this board wanted Chase after kicking a FG in the Seahawks game only to lose that game with a shank. Did Hauschka miss in the Browns game? Sure, but Chase lost a game the same week and isn't any better. I'll take the consistency in the 40-49 range over Chase's shaky showing. IMO Chase isn't any better than what we already have.

     

    Yes all this. This has been a rough year for a lot of kickers. There is not a lot of talent on the 32 teams, let alone kicking at the local high school field staying warm. 

     

    Hauschka is our guy for this year. 

  3. This has been a terrible season for kickers. If you've been watching, Hauschka is not the worst option and I feel certain that there's no one bagging groceries who will be better. 

     

    Next season bring in some competition and see if he gets back his focus. I believe in the guy but I also see him struggling. I would not be surprised if he gets his mojo back for next year.

    Better than any of the woke-ified movies they've put out the past couple years, for certain.

     

    I'm also a sucker for Mandalorian lore, so, there's that.

     

     

    Star Wars movies are woke? Is BB8 a stand in for native American cultural appropriation? Streeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeetch. 

     

    Sure you don't mean wookie-fied?

     

    New show is light fun. Emphasis so far on light.

    Translation: the receiver ran the wrong route.

     

    That was a strange play. It didn't look like a wrong route or a bad read. It just looked like a physical mistake where one got away. It was into the wind and if it gets away by 2 feet, that can turn into 4. That INT didn't bother me so much as it was clearly just something out of the ordinary. 

     

    The one Denver dropped was the bad throw of the day...it was going towards the scoreboard side on the Bills sideline. That was Josh's only "bad" throw yesterday.

    He also has the worst compliment of skill players I’ve seen in awhile, especially with Edelman banged up all season and likely on the decline himself.

    Odd that they got rid of Gordon but-

    They had Newhouse starting at LT

    The ground game hasn’t been great in supporting him 

    No Gronkowski, No more Gordon for whatever reason, N’Keal Harry was banged up most of the season, Sanu was injured, Dorsett injured...

     

    Lots of factors into Tom’s “decline”

     

    Yeah this. The 4th most yards in the NFL right now Tom Brady...imagine how awful he'd be if AB wasn't a nutjob.
