Harrison Butker to IR

[HappyDays]

Well this is something. Butker is an underrated reason for how they win so many close games.

[MJS]

This is actually really good news for the Bills. He is a great kicker.

[WotAGuy]

He can’t kick with a cast on?  Well, well, well….

[Simon]

They're signing the guy that wasn't good enough to beat Greg Zuerlein? 

 

I'd laugh my ass off but it would surely result in him hitting a 67 yrdr into a Lake Erie wind to beat us. 

 

[RiotAct]

one missed kick or unsuccessful 4th down conversion by the Chiefs from our 40-ish yard line (where they would have tried the FG with Butker in) could very well be the difference in this game.

 

Sucks for them, but…. oh freaking well!!!

[HappyDays]

On Spencer Shrader - He was a UDFA from Notre Dame. He was only 15 of 22 (68.2%) his final year there.

 

For the Jets - Against Houston he made 3 of 3 XPs, no FG attempts. Against Arizona he made 2 of 2 FGs, from 25 yards and 45 yards.

I actually worry that now they will be going for more 4th downs between the 35-45 yard line.

[CSBill]

Nobody wants to have to go to their backup kicker.

Homie just doesn't want to play

[Ridgewaycynic2013]

Just make Bass 'Official Kicker' for both teams. 😁

I'll kick for the chiefs this week if they'll have me.  I'll promise to do my best, pinky promise

While it is worrisome, that could lead to some big momentum shifts if we can stop those (which we have been good at this year).

[90sBills]

Wow. This came out of nowhere. Have to admit it has been rough for them this year on the injury front.

Maybe we can make it a group effort. Every covert Bills fan takes a kick.  That’s a let’s get stupid idea.

I swear Coach called up the Surprise Onside!

[zow2]

Hey now, what?!?  This is big.  Not so much now, but if he misses the playoffs that's the best big-game kicker weapon in the league gone.  And whoever they replace him with will no way be as good.  No way!

C’mon…we’re talking KC with the horseshoe up their ass. The kid will probably be on a perfect run until Butker comes back. 

[Warcodered]

So that was the blood sacrifice they made to block that kick.

Wouldn't surprise us.  The replacement will probably turn in to the next Harrison Butker.  But let's see it.  That's a lot of pressure to have Reid, Mahomes, Kelce, Jones, etc, staring at you to make a big end of game kick.
