Brian Moorman has had a good year punting. Not a great year. A good year. He’s had some terrific games, but had other games where his punting didn’t seem to benefit the Bills very much, as we had been accustomed in the past.
I’d say the best way to describe his punting this season has been “inconsistent.”
But there has been nothing inconsistent, nothing bad, and nothing that has cost us about his performance of his other job for this team.
Field goal holder.
Rian Lindell is 17 for his last 17 kicking field goals. That means Brian Moorman is also 17 for his last 17 taking the snap and getting it down in time and accurately enough for him……and so is Ryan Neill snapping for him, by the way.
But go back and re-watch Sunday’s game-winning kick. We now the weather was cold, it was raining, and the ball was slick. But the snap on the kick was actually not really good, either. It was low and inside. But Moorman, as he has done so often, calmly and routinely corralled it and set it on the ground for Lindell who then was able to drill it.
It’s usually the little things that cost teams victories. Things that don’t show up in the stat sheet. But it’s usually those same kinds of little things that go unnoticed that help a team win games.
Just wanted to point out what a good job he’s done in his "other" job, because it often gets overlooked.

You're killing me man. Better you than Morrman I guess. The Silent Assassin
