BoccesOnTransit Posted June 2, 2018 Posted June 2, 2018 I worked on-field security for a few games (the guys in the yellow coats) about 10 years ago. During the pregame of the 2007 sunday night roasting against the Pats (56-10), Rian Lindell came up to me and we chatted for a little bit. He seemed optimistic. Super nice guy. Not sure if relevant, just wanted to tell the story 1

BigDingus Posted June 2, 2018 Posted June 2, 2018 Since Lindell is the most accurate kicker in Bills history, combined with being our kicker for the longest period during the drought, I'd put him at #1 easily. He also had quite a few clutch kicks, and was one of the few underrated bright spots on the team. Unfortunately, he didn't get as much credit as he deserved since we weren't in many close games that really mattered. Even though he was the source of most of our points, those didn't equate to wins, and people outside of Buffalo aren't going to take notice of that. If Hauschka stayed around for another few years and won us some meaningful games, I could see him moving up the ranks too though. And as much as people remember the crappy end of Carpenter's career here, he was pretty damn good for quite a while. Easily #2 for me right now. 1
Seanbillsfan2206 Posted June 2, 2018 Posted June 2, 2018 Come on man. We’re not that bored yet, are we?
K-9 Posted June 2, 2018 Posted June 2, 2018 We’ve had a number of rank kickers, so it’s really hard to say who was the worst.
uticaclub Posted June 2, 2018 Posted June 2, 2018 Lindell wasn’t very clutch. He missed the few game winning kicks I can remember. Cleveland MNF
billsfan89 Posted June 2, 2018 Posted June 2, 2018 Haush has to be number 1, Carpenter would be number 2 in my opinion. Carpenter was money for 2 straight seasons in 2013 to 2014. In 2015 he was still pretty dam good on regular field goals but he just missed way too many PAT's. In 2016 he fell apart. But 2 great seasons and 1 OK season is hardly a bad run for a kicker. Lindell had some good seasons, but he never was capable of hitting longer field goals, I think that not having a kicker that could have a shot at hitting 50+ yard field goals really hurt the team.

Samdborn's infection spread throughout the organization like a Russ Brandon vd. He was a team cancer and as soon as he left, we made the playoffs. Go figure. Jon Dorenbos gets my nod. We never should have released that guy.
MJS Posted June 3, 2018 Posted June 3, 2018 (edited) Hauschka is not a drought kicker. He never experienced missing the playoffs in Buffalo. I fear I started this drought nonsense with my "All-Drought Team" thread a few weeks ago. Sorry guys... Edited June 3, 2018 by MJS
