dpberr Posted October 7, 2015 Posted October 7, 2015 Dan Carpenter isn't getting cut. Cundiff is here until the leg is 100% healthy. A kicker who's kicking with a bad leg is never going to get healthy. With the absolutely terrible kicking situation league wide this year, Cundiff gets a great opportunity to show what he's got for other teams.
YoloinOhio Posted October 7, 2015 Posted October 7, 2015 @JoeBuscaglia: #Bills HC Rex Ryan: WRs coach Sanjay Lal had him in Oakland. He's been trying to get him for 3 years. @JoeBuscaglia: #Bills HC Rex Ryan: This move had nothing to do with Jordan. It's hard to carry a kickoff specialist in this league. @viccarucci: Rex on roster moves: "Billy (Cundiff) has a strong leg so he can handle KOs. We'll see how everything plays out." @viccarucci: Rex says it's a "possibility" that only one K is on the roster by the end of the week, Cundiff or Carpenter.
BuffaloBillsForever Posted October 7, 2015 Posted October 7, 2015 @viccarucci: Rex says it's a "possibility" that only one K is on the roster by the end of the week, Cundiff or Carpenter. What is beyond "FULL DERP"?
Maury Ballstein Posted October 7, 2015 Posted October 7, 2015 What is beyond "FULL DERP"? No one cares about kickers. Let's not give Carp the Freddie treatment. When will this leg heal btw ? He's been shaky for months now.
26CornerBlitz Posted October 7, 2015 Author Posted October 7, 2015 @billsequipment Jersey #s for new players: Billy Cundiff 8, Denarius Moore 17, Dan Herron 38. Go #Bills
dave mcbride Posted October 7, 2015 Posted October 7, 2015 No one cares about kickers. Let's not give Carp the Freddie treatment. When will this leg heal btw ? He's been shaky for months now. He's 2 of 3 on 50+ yard kicks, and preseason doesn't count. Cundiff is 8 for 30 lifetime on 50+ yard kicks. Moreover, he choked on the biggest stage of all, costing the Ravens the game against the Pats in the AFC championship game.

I am starting to hate rex with how he is dealing with Carpenter.
fridge Posted October 7, 2015 Posted October 7, 2015 @viccarucci: Rex says it's a "possibility" that only one K is on the roster by the end of the week, Cundiff or Carpenter. Gross. Releasing Carpenter in favor of Cundiff is such a pathetic, reactionary move.
Koufax Posted October 7, 2015 Posted October 7, 2015 I think Cundiff is mostly until Carpenter gets healthy to be a second field goal option, and it is much less than 50/50 that Carp is the one released. But that said, kicker confidence is always a big thing, both for them and for the team around them. If Carpenter doesn't get back to being clutch once fully healthy, and Cundiff does well in his opportunities, I can see a surprise happening.
CowgirlsFan Posted October 7, 2015 Posted October 7, 2015 If Cundiff is so good then why is he available?
26CornerBlitz Posted October 7, 2015 Author Posted October 7, 2015 If Cundiff is so good then why is he available? He isn't!
BuffaloBillsForever Posted October 7, 2015 Posted October 7, 2015 If Cundiff is so good then why is he available? Because he sucks. An injured Carpenter > Cundiff.
thebandit27 Posted October 7, 2015 Posted October 7, 2015 Gross. Releasing Carpenter in favor of Cundiff is such a pathetic, reactionary move. "On the roster" does not necessarily mean released...Carpenter could end up on IR-DTR if they think his injury is serious enough to linger. We'd then get him back by Week 13.
CowgirlsFan Posted October 7, 2015 Posted October 7, 2015 I know the Bills needed to sign someone but why someone that is always being cut by other teams?
Solomon Grundy Posted October 7, 2015 Posted October 7, 2015 Anyone else remember that game Denarius Moore had against the Bills in his rookie year? I think it was 2011. We made him look like Jerry Freaking Rice. no Yes I remember!! The dude could scoot!
26CornerBlitz Posted October 7, 2015 Author Posted October 7, 2015 @salmaiorana With #Bills signing kicker Billy Cundiff, Dan Carpenter's days in Buffalo may be numbered. My story: http://on.rocne.ws/1LiacMZ via @DandC
Leroi Posted October 7, 2015 Posted October 7, 2015 Great Pickup!! Cundiff, if consistent, is our new starting kicker, lets give him this week to try out. Kickers are a dime a dozen; Carp is a professional, he has to make the kicks, Imo
Peter Posted October 7, 2015 Posted October 7, 2015 I love Rex. My only complaint is how Rex has treated Carpenter. It is all the more perplexing given how Rex tries to deflect any heat away from any other player (and typically on to himself).

sodbuster Posted October 7, 2015 Posted October 7, 2015 Love Denarius Moore. Big time deep threat. Hope he's healthy. Me too. I'm really surprised he was available.
