Over 29 years of fanhood Posted March 9, 2017 Posted March 9, 2017 Excellent. He can kickoff as well, right? I can't even imagine not having two kickers in the mix. I like this new world

Blokestradamus Posted March 9, 2017 Posted March 9, 2017 I will miss the week to week drama of Jordan Gay getting cut and then resigned. I think Jordan is working in real estate at the moment. Not that I'm stalking him or anything.......
Kmart128 Posted March 9, 2017 Posted March 9, 2017 He has missed 10 extra points since the new rule, more than Carpenter, in less attempts. I don't follow that logic. He is, or has been, a very accurate FG guy though, and can kick off so there's that. I dont know about your math but Carpenter missed 11. That is more than 10 Carpenter missed 11 with 1 being blocked Hauschka missed 10 with 7 being blocked That has to be be on their line
26CornerBlitz Posted March 9, 2017 Posted March 9, 2017 @mikerodak Kicker Steve Hauschka expected to sign 4-year, $12.4M deal with Bills, sources tell @AdamSchefter: https://t.co/0FIxW8aNcq

BuffAlone Posted March 9, 2017 Posted March 9, 2017 they were one of the worst units in the leagueaccording to Pete Carrol,he was kicking the ball to low. I hope that won't be a problem moving forward @ 3+ mil a year. On a side note,the article said he had 7 of ten misses blocked. That's a trajectory issue
JM57 Posted March 9, 2017 Posted March 9, 2017 (edited) Just reading 5 xp's were not misses they were blocked.That makes me feel better. Pro Football Reference only shows makes and misses, not blocked. I just saw that he also had 2 blocked in 2015, so in total he has "missed" 10 extra points - 7 blocks and 3 misses. I dont know about your math but Carpenter missed 11. That is more than 10 Carpenter missed 11 with 1 being blocked Hauschka missed 10 with 7 being blocked That has to be be on their line Bad math, it was early Edited March 9, 2017 by JM57

nucci Posted March 9, 2017 Posted March 9, 2017 Lindell stunk, he was never clutch and neither is this guy. If he signs its another blunder by DW Why, are there kickers out there that are much better? To some no matter what the Bills do there are complaints
Andrew Son Posted March 9, 2017 Posted March 9, 2017 I can't even imagine not having two kickers in the mix. I like this new world You know what this means, room for another FB!
Cash Posted March 9, 2017 Posted March 9, 2017 (edited) Main thing I like about this signing is that Hauschka was released by Seattle and thus won't count in the compensatory pick formula. He's fine, but all kickers have up and down years, and IMO it's generally not worth paying free agent money for them. Edit: just saw the $$$ - yikes! Don't like paying that for any kicker.

Roundybout Posted March 9, 2017 Posted March 9, 2017 Lindell stunk, he was never clutch and neither is this guy. If he signs its another blunder by DW Hauschka was a top 5 kicker in the league a couple years ago.

mannc Posted March 9, 2017 Posted March 9, 2017 Not thrilled about his PAT. I don't like them being an adventure like last year with Carp.Then maybe the Bills plan to man-up and go for two. It's the smart play regardless.
Cash Posted March 9, 2017 Posted March 9, 2017 what money? I haven't seen the contract numbers yet Scroll up! 4 years, $12.4 million per Schefter. Source: 26CornerBlitz's post above.
Plano Posted March 9, 2017 Posted March 9, 2017 No thanks, that dirtbag burned his bridges. Dirtbag? What makes you call the best kicker in Bills history a dirtbag?
LEBills Posted March 9, 2017 Posted March 9, 2017 i hope so. Seattle does get some nasty rain. But not sure if the wind compares. 14th in Touchback %, 5th in FG% 30th in PAT I like the idea of going for 2 after every touchdown
HappyDays Posted March 9, 2017 Posted March 9, 2017 I don't know how true this is but I've seen some people on Twitter saying many of his missed XPs were blocked, and not his fault.
