Over 29 years of fanhood Posted September 25, 2012 Posted September 25, 2012 well moorman was in obvious decline starting last season and it had to happen eventually but i still feel like my dog died I know. The mooreman Probowl or MVP jokes were always there for the taking. But just maybe.... Maybe this is a new era. An era where the defense plays defense and the offense scores points. An era where the punter is just some guy that kicks the ball a few times a game and never gets hit with lavish probowler praise because he is not more incremental to the teams performance than the QB or DE. Maybe it's the last piece in the chansformation.
BuffBill Posted September 25, 2012 Posted September 25, 2012 This coaching staff seems to have a habit of voting for Captains then cutting them a few weeks later. After one bad game or one or two bad punts. If I remember correctly, everyone of Potter's kickoffs were returned last week? He should be next since he is using a roster spot just so kickoffs don't get returned.
Meark Posted September 25, 2012 Posted September 25, 2012 From Tim Graham's blog post: Powell, an All-America from Florida State, had a good camp. But Moorman had an outstanding camp and preseason and won the job. So, like I said earlier, he DID have a great preseason. He's had a great career. With that body of work, he gets cut after three games?!? I'm with Freddy. Did you watch the KC game?
papazoid Posted September 25, 2012 Posted September 25, 2012 thurman just tweeted ...wonder what he is alluding to first the equipment mgr....now moorman......
Miyagi-Do Karate Posted September 25, 2012 Posted September 25, 2012 The guy who has seasons in front of me always used to yell "LET MOORMAN RUN IT!" whenever they lined up to punt. haha--this sounds like me. I wanted him to throw it last game too when the Browns went to a punt block and left the gunner open.
Meark Posted September 25, 2012 Posted September 25, 2012 The guy has been one of the best parts of this team for years. So, he had a bad game last week... Surprising if it's true. It's been more than one game..
bladiebla Posted September 25, 2012 Posted September 25, 2012 (edited) The real question is what did they caught Brain and the equipment manager doing behind the lockerroom? Seriously though, I think this might come back to haunt us in FG situations, from a holder perspective, again as said by many before me do this move in august or wait till next august.

He should be next since he is using a roster spot just so kickoffs don't get returned. The team votes for captains I think. I also don't think you can blame the kicker for kicking it 9 yards deep on two KO and having the return man take them out that far back. The team would take 9 yards deep every single time.
The Big Cat Posted September 25, 2012 Posted September 25, 2012 Seriously though. Moorman was a steward of the Buffalo community, a great teammate, and...uh...really good at holding snaps for Lindell. As a punter, his star hasn't shown very brightly since circa 2007, but he WILL go down as being number one in ironic jersey-buys.
Peter Posted September 25, 2012 Posted September 25, 2012 The timing might be odd, but the Bills did him a solid by cutting him now rather than prior to the season. He gets $1.425 million plus whatever he signs for elsewhere.
l< j Posted September 25, 2012 Posted September 25, 2012 (edited) Thanks for this memory, and others: http://www.nfl.com/v...ay-Sneaky-Bills kj PS: that is the fake FG-throw to Denney from 08. How do you embed videos here? Edited September 25, 2012 by l< j
JÂy RÛßeÒ Posted September 25, 2012 Posted September 25, 2012 first the equipment mgr....now moorman...... According to my source, the Hojnowski thing was just a delay in the team putting together a "retirement package" for the guy, who was ready to retire. Nothing more to it.

eball Posted September 25, 2012 Posted September 25, 2012 Well, my prediction came true...just about four weeks too late.

5 Wide Posted September 25, 2012 Posted September 25, 2012 " I leave Buffalo as the all time leader in Punts. I just want to thank my teammates, especially Trent Edwards and JP Losman for allowing me to accomplish such a feat". - Brian Moorman
Bud Adams Posted September 25, 2012 Posted September 25, 2012 20012? Yes. He had an amazing physical, and doctors predict he'll live that long.
