Right after yesterday's loss I stated that the Bills should've kept Chase McLaughlin...fast forward...he does precisely what Hauschka couldn't. Smh

Not shank it that far left?

I feel so bad for this kid because you all jinxed him. He will be cut tomorrow. 


Catalon jinxed Haushka so it all goes back to him.

McLaughlin’s OT miss was about 200 yards to the left of the goal posts. So I am going to stick with Hausch for now. 

 

He wrecked about 200 corn dogs at the booth, but they were cold......no big loss.

Completely agree, Carpenter was solid for us for about two years then lost it. Haushka seems to be going down that road.

Yeah, happens to all of them eventually. I can’t imagine the unique pressure those guys are under, but kickers as a group are a strange lot. Once the doubt creeps in they’re done.

Was it just me or did Haush’s kick seem like it was in the air forever yesterday? It hung up there forever. A lot of other kickers I see in the league just pound the ball and don’t give the elements a chance to alter it.

Try give the Bills a chance to improve to 7-2 in OT against a sub .500 team.

 

If McLaughlin was cut and the Bills were to sign him to the PS, I wouldn't be mad at all.

I did...Until he choked on that final kick. 
 

meet the potential new boss… Same as the old boss.

Well - He has one of the lowest completion records this year among active kickers so could be a slump, and he breaks out of it, but if this continues for the rest of the season, we won’t be spending another season with him.  It wasn’t necessarily missing the 54 yard field go, but the earlier one and the extra point.  We should have been at 20 pts and won.  He wasn’t the only problem, as Allen made poor decisions again like the Brown Pass vs. Beasley.   I don’t know why Daboll keeps calling up these deep passes when they are not working.  I can give Daboll a pass if he gave Allen the freedom to see the field and that was only of three choices Allen could make, them on Allen.

 

you don’t get stupider points for overthrowing people deep vs. work on timing, or don’t keep going to these high risk, low probability of success.  I know this is about the kicker, but these were also factors Sunday and House shouldn’t be the scapegoat.  He should be playing bette r like the last couple of years.

Oh, what a short memory many have.  The year we "went to the playoffs," just two years ago, Haushka's leg and the defense's takeaways were the number 2 and 3 reasons we got in (Andy Dalton being number one, of course):

 

Haushka in 2017:

  • From 0-48 yards: 22/24
  • From 49+ yards:  7/9
  • One of six kickers in the league to hit 100% of his XP attempts.

 

I looked at last year as an anomaly, likely due to injury.  So I was perfectly comfortable bringing him back this year - just two years after a stellar campaign.

 

That said ... unfortunately, it's pretty clear that he's still NOT what he was in 2017.  But we can play the hindsight game all year, can't we?  That's boring.
