Lindell also hit 1000 this season. Career points that is.

Bills running back Fred Jackson wasn’t the only player in the team’s season finale that had 1,000 as a goal. While Jackson successfully rushed past the 1,000-yard barrier for the 2009 season, kicker Rian Lindell also surpassed 1,000 in another category. Career points.

The Bills kicker needed seven points in the team’s final game against Indianapolis to reach the 1,000-point plateau and got more than enough to surpass the mark with 12 points in the season-ending 30-7 victory. Lindell had three field goals and three extra points.

His second field goal of the game midway through the third quarter, which also followed three extra points, was what put him over 1,000. Of course Lindell was unaware as to how close he was to the mark entering the final game of the regular season.

Enough can't be said about the job Lindell has done with the Bills IMO. He has had to kick in one of the worst stadiums for kicking in the last 5+ years, and has been consistent in doing so. Top 10 kicker in the NFL for sure.

Best kicker since Christie

He's our 2nd best kicker ever, behind Christie.

The swirling winds at the Ralph are killer. When people crapped on him, I just laughed at how clueless they were.

he's been pretty good. i was surprised to read he had 4 of the 5 most accurate kicking seasons for a buffalo kicker ever.

I admit that first year... I couldn't stand him. :couch:

He's one of the few bright spots on this team!!!

You know your team is in trouble when your 2 most consistent players are your kickers.
