Cripple Creek Posted January 1, 2018 Posted January 1, 2018 Preston "Fumblefingers" Brown? Patrick "Clubhands" DiMarco? There must be better options.
Matt in KC Posted January 1, 2018 Posted January 1, 2018 I can't believe there isn't more focus on 1) Do not touch it before 10 yards and 2) knock it out of bounds! 1

RobH063 Posted January 1, 2018 Posted January 1, 2018 In all fairness to DiMarco, it's hard to hang on to a ball when it's 70 degrees. That thing is like a rock.
Lenigmusx Posted January 1, 2018 Posted January 1, 2018 Well in all fairness I don't trust him this week... He was a Marrone hire after all. Lol Bobby April is available????
JMF2006 Posted January 1, 2018 Posted January 1, 2018 LMAO with only 4 active WR's and 2 healthy running backs the options for who is on the hands team are limited. But Preston and DiMarco would still be well down my list.I think. Pretty smart to kick it right at those two though.
BringBackOrton Posted January 1, 2018 Posted January 1, 2018 I'm sure 80% of Bills fans were already tuned into to the Ravens game at that point.

LABILLBACKER Posted January 1, 2018 Posted January 1, 2018 The Bills have now given up back to back onside kicks to Miami. Almost the same kick. I would keep Brown, Tolbert and Dimarco miles from that unit. Stick more dbs, safeties there. This isn't rocket science crossman.

My house had red zone and the Bills game on two separate TVs. We were slightly worried about the Dolphins but the Ravens going ahead of the Bengals really stung and took focus away especially since Oakland officially lost.

The risk in that is by the time you wait for the ball to travel 10 yards easy for the kicking team to wipe you out with the first guy and the guy behind him dives on the ball with no Bills around. Honestly I just think it's the law of averages has caught up with the Bills on this one.
Cruiserplayer Posted January 1, 2018 Posted January 1, 2018 I thought the Miami kicker was offsides. That being said we certainly need to practice recovering the kick.
Herc11 Posted January 1, 2018 Posted January 1, 2018 Dimarco and Brown aren't the "hands" guys. They are the blockers while the "hands" guys wait behind them to catch it. Miami had a good plan to kick it right at the blockers.
Miyagi-Do Karate Posted January 1, 2018 Posted January 1, 2018 To add to the sheer ineptitude, Clay was offsides!! That fight between DiMarco and the ball was brutal to watch.
Bill_with_it Posted January 1, 2018 Posted January 1, 2018 Miami’s onsides kick are a thing of beauty. They are pretty good, have to give thme credit too.

We were doing the same thing and I just wanted to watch the Bengals game. Miami being the scumbags they are delayed the Bills game so long with the fighting that we barely were able to see the end of the Bengals game on CBS. The way the Ravens game was going the Poyer pick didn't have that much impact. Glad I was wrong.
Prickly Pete Posted January 1, 2018 Posted January 1, 2018 They suck so bad at it, I expect teams will start to use it regularly against them next season. Imagine how bad they might be when an onside kick is unexpected?

The kicker is actually an exception for offsides on a kickoff - his plant foot can be ahead of the line https://blogs.usafootball.com/blog/555/ask-the-official-the-kicker-cannot-be-flagged-for-offsides-on-a-kickoff 1
