Freddie's Dead Posted December 15, 2014 Posted December 15, 2014 (edited) Based on his somewhat questionable performance the last two weeks, I'd say Gay. Horrible kicks in Denver, brutal onsides attempt and one out of bounds (?) against the Pack. Dan the Man can handle it for one week. We need all the extra DB's we can get, and I think Frank the Tank is scratched again. Any other candidates? Edited December 16, 2014 by Fred Jackson Jockstrap
stevestojan Posted December 15, 2014 Posted December 15, 2014 Has to be Gay. Dan "Jesus was a" Carpenter can kick off just as poorly as our kickoff specialist. Never too much depth at RB. One is too much depth at kickoff specialist.

jester43 Posted December 15, 2014 Posted December 15, 2014 CUT THE KICKOFF "SPECIALIST" OR FIRE THE COACH.
Freddie's Dead Posted December 15, 2014 Author Posted December 15, 2014 Bryce Brown Could be. Have to keep Boobie for the FB role.
Miyagi-Do Karate Posted December 15, 2014 Posted December 15, 2014 I think wind was an issue on the kick out of bounds.
Freddie's Dead Posted December 15, 2014 Author Posted December 15, 2014 Larry Dean? Another possibility, but a key STer.
stevestojan Posted December 15, 2014 Posted December 15, 2014 I think wind was an issue on the kick out of bounds. Right. Which a normal kicker would have problems assessing. But a SPECIALIST would certainly take that into account.

Hard to argue that since kicking off is his ONLY $%^ING JOB, he should be able to wet his finger, look at the goalpost flags, check the NOAA web site, etc. to figure out the wind.

Absolutely. He has NO excuse for that to ever happen. I get it, everyone messes up at their job. But he gets paid $420,000 to do ONE THING. And let's say the Bills score an average of 5 times a game plus one of the half kickoffs, that's $4,375 per kick. Edit: I looked it up. We have scored 27 TDs and 32 FGs. The Detroit FG didn't require a kickoff after it (the MN TD did). That's 58 scores, plus 14 kickoffs either to start the game or the half. 72 kicks. That's $5,833 per kick.

VirginiaMike Posted December 15, 2014 Posted December 15, 2014 Bryce Brown -- no need for 4 running backs, although I agree that I wouldn't miss Gay.
Buffaloed in Pa Posted December 15, 2014 Posted December 15, 2014 Bryce Brown sits,thats one reason this offense sux. If you can`t see the explosion and hard running compared to Fred and C.J. ????? Duh Bills. He fumbled once, I seen Freddy and C.J. fumble during crucial times. This is one reason our O sux. 20 carries for 70 yds against one of worst run defenses. C,mon. They also make the line look worse. One is a woosey between the tackles and the other is the slowest back in the league. Get real. Needs to be Bryce and Boobie. They have had their losing years.
Maddog69 Posted December 15, 2014 Posted December 15, 2014 Did Gay get injured yesterday? I saw a suggestion from Joe Buscaglia (WGR) on Twitter that Gay was a candidate for IR to open a spot for Spiller on the roster. I wouldn't think the NFL wants teams placing uninjured players on INJURED reserve.
Miyagi-Do Karate Posted December 15, 2014 Posted December 15, 2014 Right. Which a normal kicker would have problems assessing. But a SPECIALIST would certainly take that into account. I hear what you are saying, as I have said the same thing-- if we have a specialist, I want every kick to literally be through the back of the endzone. There is no way a guy should be able to even catch it. But Gay has at least improved us some in that area, particularly for a scrub we picked up at the last second. Last year, we were at 40% for touchbacks, and this year we are at 56%. In the Lindell days, we were almost dead last in the NFL in this-- around 20%.

I wouldn't think the NFL wants teams placing uninjured players on INJURED reserve. My guess is Chris Gragg goes to IR. They don't really need a 4th TE with Chandler, Smith, and Gray already playing and just two games left in the regular season. Edited December 15, 2014 by 26CornerBlitz
