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

Just admit that you would worry regardless. 

[Joe Ferguson]

Billsy thing to happen is their new kicker makes a 68 yard field goal to win in overtime. 

[Nephilim17]

I know I'm supposed to never feel good about an injury but this pleases me. (As long as an injury isn't to the head or career-ending, I can appreciate them to the competition; the Bills have had a ton so I prefer a more level playing field.)

[Don Otreply]

That’s a shame,

I hope it’s the reason they have to go for it on 4th down, late in the game and Mahomes gets blown up, losing the game.

[Charles Romes]

If Bass misses the 61 yarder, they may have signed Bass instead of the Jets guy.

 

I’m not sure this injury is easily recovered from.  The plant leg absorbs huge forces especially with a kicker as powerful as Butker.

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.

Everything this organization touches turns to gold.  Taylor Swift will probably recommend a friend who kicks. He'll be signed and start kicking 60 yarders.

Chiefs luck = 3/3 xp and 3/3 on fgs with the third as time expires for the win because it’s the Chiefs

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!!!

 

My immediate reaction is that I'd rather see them kicking FGs than going for it on 4th downs with the chance at TDs and more time of possession.

Same, initially (Residual Battered Bills Fan Syndrome). Was able to shake it off (lol) and see the objective truth that this obviously is not a positive development for their season.

As bad as the bills are on 3rd and long defense we’ve gotta be one of the best 4th and short defenses in the league.  I always hope teams go for more of those against us 

 

ARE the Bills a top 4th and short defense? Can definitely recall a couple stops, but have no clue where they stand overall. 

 

[Bookie Man]

Now watch him hit a 59 yarder into the wind to beat us

Top 5 in opposing 4th down percentage allowed idk specific yardage info though 

[Spiderweb]

To use a quote of Johnny Carson on Butker "May the fleas of a thousand camels infest his armpits". 

[foreboding]

Awesome, he is a pos. Let's do this!!

[Billsatlastin2018]

Big loss!

[Billsatlastin2018]

Big one!

 

And I detest him too.

[Ethan in Cleveland]

Too bad his wife can't work to support the family if he loses his job...

[Mister Defense]

I wonder about this sometimes..

 

A player like Butker who often praises a higher being when successful..

 

which seems to imply that somehow that higher being chose him, and his team, for success on that day, rather than the others.

 

What is their theory when bad things happen to them, like this, or losses? Do they blame, maybe even privately curse out, that higher being for doing this to them?

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

About time that happened to them.

Or maybe they will just send their mediocre punter out there..
