eSJayDee Posted September 25, 2006 Share Posted September 25, 2006 In retrospect, we should've had two returners back on punts. I'm sure the wind made it VERY tricky to field the ball, but that problem was compounded cuz it appeared that Parrish was the only one back there & Graham was kicking away from him. When you've gotta run 20 or so yards b4 being 'near' where it's gonna come down, it makes fielding punts that much more difficult. I'll give credit to the Jets' punter, but I think our inability to field those punts cost us perhaps an avg of 10 yds /punt. It might not have made much of a difference, but I just wanted to point it out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PromoTheRobot Posted September 25, 2006 Share Posted September 25, 2006 I was at the game, watching from the endzone so I had a pretty good perspective. The Jets punter was just dog-a$$ lucky. Many were bad kicks that got blown around in the wind. The ball would head straight at Roscoe then veer off when a wind gust hit it. After 2-3 of that kind of crap, the Bills put Clements back with Parrish. It wasn't a mistake. It was bad wind and bad luck. PTR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alaska Darin Posted September 25, 2006 Share Posted September 25, 2006 After the first punt we had 2 returners back. The issues were the height the guy punted, his direction being perfect, and the fact that he got every roll. Guess what? Sometimes the other team actually executes too.
