NJ_BillsFan Posted September 14, 2005 Posted September 14, 2005 Here's the link to the AFC players of the week. http://www.nfl.com/news/story/8845023 We had honorable mentions in each category.
Rubes Posted September 14, 2005 Posted September 14, 2005 I wonder what Scobee did that was better and more deserving than Lindell? Miss a field goal?
JinVA Posted September 14, 2005 Posted September 14, 2005 I wonder what Scobee did that was better and more deserving than Lindell? Miss a field goal? 440687[/snapback] Good catch. That makes absolutely no sense at all.
Crap Throwing Monkey Posted September 14, 2005 Posted September 14, 2005 I wonder what Scobee did that was better and more deserving than Lindell? Miss a field goal? 440687[/snapback] Four touchbacks. I can't really say I disagree with them, either...effectively stifling the other team's return game and sticking them on their 20 after every kickoff is arguably worth a missed field goal.

At least two made it to the end zone line, and with our coverage teams, that's a pretty good recipe.

Other than average drive start after kickoffs, there's not a hell of a lot of ways you can cook kickoff numbers to make returns consistently look better than touchbacks. And all that really means is that someone made their decision based on the stats.
