I didn’t realize we are still in high school getting graded on our posts. Carry on 

 

The offseason is where we improve as well. Coaches are watching, waiting for you to step it up.

At the end of the CHiefs game, I believe Araiza outkicked the coverage and gave up a big run back that resulted in a game losing FG as time expired.  The Araiza situation was pretty unique.  To now propose that Worthy is going to be equal to Hill is kind of just making stuff up, alarmist/panicky sounding.   The Bills did not give up on Worthy, you have no clue who the Bills would have drafted there.  Why dont we give the BIlls crap for not drafting Sky Moore or other guys who did not work out for the CHiefs.  This topic is very middle school dramaish.

I seem to remember the  team getting a lot of heat for not releasing Aroza sooner than they did. I believe tone deaf and bad optics were some of the terms used.

Punter lol

Just another horrible mistake by this "Organization". 

Based on the information they had at the time (AND THE LEAGUE) they should have stood by him. 
 

Once he was exonerated, they should have run, not walked, to him and try to sign him. But Noooo... We don't want a certain segment of our fanbase to
get upset by signing an alleged or wrongly accused player.

I wonder if the Pegula gals had a say in this ? I bet they did.

It's the culture we sadly now live in and I F'ing HATE IT!

Buffalo sports definitely have a curse on them… is that even in question???

Even abandoning Buffalo won't break the curse. 

So don't even think about it.

So far this preseason:

 

MA - 10 punts - 46yd avg - 6 inside 20

 

SM - 11 punts - 49.4yd avg - 2 inside 20

 

If you’re going to whine, do research first.

Can we at least wait until Araiza and Worthy play an NFL game before trashing OBD?

Yes. A rookie.

Literally in this day and age there was no way to handle this other than releasing him.  That was the perfect storm of a year with all that went on.

 

The Bills handed the Von-Miller-beating-his-baby-mama news quite differently.

Peak Offseason Post.

 

8.5/10

 

Couldve earned extra points by making it an "open letter" to Pegula.

Do you happen to have his personal email addy?

The whole episode absolutely sucked but letting the mob make the decision in the media rather than seeing it play through was very much a cowardly move, or at least a cynically calculated move that ended up backfiring on us.

He was accused of gang raping a minor. Don’t think the Bills were ‘cowardly’. 

[frostbitmic]

He's on the Chiefs, he won't be used much.

 

When he is used it means Mahomes didn't get his team in scoring position, you want to see your opponents Punter as often as possible even if he is kicking them 70 yards.

Which is why he was the 3rd punter taken that draft.

There is plenty of merit in this post if care to acknowledge it or not. Keep living in denial Coach

 I understand respect their decision to cut Araiza.

 

But I don’t see why you wrote /thread. 60% of punts inside the 20 is crazy good. That is significantly better than 3 yards of extra punt length.

At the time, the investigation was pending I thought and the Bills kinda had to move on.  It was more an issue of bad timing with Araiza.

They said once he was absolved or any wrong doing. If he was cleared of everything there’s not an investigation pending anymore.
 

He sat as a FA for a while after he was cleared. Bills had/have a need for a better punter and sat on their hands.

If you were the guy would you have signed back with the Bills?  Might not have been our decision...

This is a good point.

Right, he was accused of something terrible.  Is that the standard we use now here?  It would seem that the accusations against Von Miller were pretty bad too! 

 

In fact Betty Parris, Abigail Williams, Ann Putnam, and Elizabeth Hubbard made some dramatic accusations one time and 19 people ended up swinging on the end of a rope for it, but i guess we should just believe any accusation that's made lest we offend someone with our ridiculous notions of justice and due process!
