don't need a kicker until this team figures out how to move the ball down the field again

Re: lindell out 2-6 weeks

In all seriousness, what do we do here? If we stick with Moorman, sure he can boot it deep on kickoffs, also can punt (duh). But on Field Goals and Extra Points, who's going to hold the snap? Can he aim the ball over 30 yards? And, since it's only a short time, I don't see Lindell missing much time, so do we demote someone/PS and hold 2 Kickers, or what?

This is an interesting topic.

It was one week against a top notch D that had a lot to prove. I wouldn't say the sky is falling just yet.

The good news is, in Dallas and Miami (our next 2 games) weather shouldn't be a factor.

If we need a replacement kicker longer than that, it should give whoever they sign a couple weeks to get back into "kicking shape."

And this is the bi-product of ****ty special teams plays. If our guys do their ****ing jobs and don't rely on the kicker to make the tackle, then we don't get in this ****ty situation.

There has to be a happy medium between Bobby April keeping S/T guys who can't play their position like Coy Wire and Josh Stamer, and this ****ing nonsense.

We've been pretty much decent all year on special teams coverage, so I'm not sure where this is coming from.

In the NFL, you're bound to give up a big play on ST at one point, or another. Just don't make it a trend.

You do know that the Bills kickoff coverage is near the top in the NFL, don't you?

Re: lindell out 2-6 weeks

In fact, they are 5th in coverage.

So you are ignoring facts to ***** about something.

I disagree. Our returns have been ****ty and Moorman has a tendency to either overkick the coverage or shank punts. Age is catching up with him. S/T has taken a hit in Buffalo.

A) that's only one facet of special teams, which has definitely taken a hit the past two years.
B) It doesn't excuse ****ing up that kickoff in a field position game where we desperately needed a play.
