Vinatieri is struggling at his range as well as accuracy....Hauschka is still an above avg kicker, believe it or not, that's hit big kicks in big games; in cold weather and in domes for his career. He still has distance for up to 55 yards. Give the guy a break 24-hour rule He is not going anywhere this year. I would bring in some serious competition for next year's camp. 2

I’m pretty sure Haushka’s a captain, too. And he’s used to kicking in the Buffalo elements. He’s not going anywhere this year. 4
That's No Moon Posted November 29, 2019 Posted November 29, 2019 Either Graham Gano or Joey Slye will be available after the season. I'd imagine it will be Gano.

BuffaloButt Posted November 29, 2019 Posted November 29, 2019 21 hours ago, KD in CA said: He's 34 and hit the wall. It happens to kickers too. The Bills need to "GM aggressive" too and sign someone during this ten day break. Ever since the cheap shop injury from the Jets last year he has not been the same! It's a bummer but we resigned him to an extension so I don't think he's getting cut unless he keeps missing.

Even Slye, as good as he's been this season, is coming off a brutal week. Kicking around the league is just not good at the moment
DuckyBoys Posted November 29, 2019 Posted November 29, 2019 4th down year in a row and will have his worst kicking % since he became a full time starter I'd at least bring in some competition
GreggTX Posted November 30, 2019 Posted November 30, 2019 Maybe Hauschka has lost it. He's been solid for us up to now, but his performances of late have been very disappointing. Bojo was the guy that couldn't kick, but he's done OK.
Conlan58 Posted December 1, 2019 Posted December 1, 2019 Is chase available now? Looks like Gould is back for san fran...
DefenseWins Posted December 1, 2019 Posted December 1, 2019 I think the Bills end up keeping Haushka unless he misses another "gimme" FG the rest of the way. There are no guaranteed better kickers out there right now. Haushka did make a longish FG against the Cowgirls after all. And Haushka is familiar with kicking in the wind conditions at New Era Field.
sullim4 Posted December 1, 2019 Posted December 1, 2019 This is a really simple fix. Draft a kicker in the late rounds of the draft and let him compete for the job. I never understand teams that refuse to spend late round draft capital on kickers and end up going the UDFA or cuts route. Kickers don't get cut or go unsigned as free agents from other teams if they are reliable. You can get a really good kicker in the late rounds of the draft, which is much more difficult for nearly every other position on the field. 2
mykidsdad Posted December 2, 2019 Posted December 2, 2019 All the kicking seems down this year. Hopefully our bad kicking balances out. Realistically, we should win 2 out of 4 and be the 5th seed. Its jus so freaking good not to be 6 and 6 right now like we seem to be every other year, hoping 9 and 7 might get us in on tie breaks.
