GoBills808 Posted March 13, 2022 Posted March 13, 2022 2 hours ago, Mr. WEO said: SB bound teams don't blame a blocked punt in week 1 (where a crappy Steelers Offense scored 10 other points in the 4th Q and the Bills couldn't covert a 4th and 1 on the Steelers 41) on their inability to lock up home field advantage. Nor is a blocked punt, outside a mishandled snap, the punter’s fault… 1 Quote

without a drought Posted March 13, 2022 Posted March 13, 2022 16 hours ago, Augie said: If he’s strictly a punter, and we do the math, if he were to punt twice a game on average for 17 games, with the time it takes him to get it off this is barely minimum wage. I heard that they are still waiting for him to sign the new contract, they handed him a pen yesterday, he almost has it set up for writing. Hold on, does this pen click or twist, oh wait, it might just have a cap. Looks like the Bills might have his replacement here before he's actually ready. 1 2 Quote
Billy Claude Posted March 13, 2022 Posted March 13, 2022 Do we not remember the two 20 yard shanks against the Jets? That was the only thing that kept them in the game. His best games were average, his average games were bad. Quote

Apparently hard enough to the point that it impacts a kickers accuracy. Bojo holding for Mason Crosby must have had some sort of negative impact on Crosby in Green Bay as Crosby went from having a 100% kick accuracy in 2020 (and 91% in 2019) to 73.5% in 2021. I can't say the holding was cause for all of that regression but it had to have had a negative impact of some sort. Meanwhile Bass took a major leap up with Haack holding. Quote
Saxum Posted March 13, 2022 Posted March 13, 2022 How many here will be wearing paper bags over your heads ala Donahoe anti-fans if Hauck remains on roster? I expect some will be bashing both no matter how well Hauck performs this year. I am glad Coach McD has confidence in ST Assistant to take over SC Duties but I think they need an additional ST coach who has experience with kicking. Based on some posts here STs should be minimum investment so maybe some worker at Dollar Tree who kicked in college would be willing to do that job as an unpaid intern. Quote

Bojo should not be a holder because he sucks at it. My wife sucks at making grilled cheese sandwiches but most people are perfectly capable of making them. 3 1 Quote

My wife (who is an amazing cook) used to make grill cheese sandwiches by pressing the living ***** out of them, and they'd come out flat. But even still they were good. The only way to ruin a GCS is if it burns. Edited March 13, 2022 by Doc Quote

Bferra13 Posted March 14, 2022 Posted March 14, 2022 This dude literally destroyed our season with that punt block against Pittsburgh and it didn't get much better from there. Piss poor. Quote

All fair points, but I think Sanders from Miami suffered regression in 2021 when he had a different holder. Catching a long snap and getting it down quickly is not easy. 1 Quote

Catching a long snap and getting it down quickly is not easy. I get where you're coming from and I know a kicker needs a holder he is comfortable with. Find a new punter who can hold and is an upgrade at punter. Get a million reps in before the regular season and Bass should be fine. I've never heard of sacrificing punting because a guy holds the ball well. It's bizarre. Quote
