All: The new Billszone site with the updated software is scheduled to be turned on Tuesday, May 21, 2024. The company that built it, Dynascale, estimates a FOUR HOUR shut down, from 8pm Pacific, (5pm Eastern) while they get it up and running. Nobody will be able to post in any forum until they are done. Afterwards, you may need to do a web search for the site, as old links will not work, because the site is getting a new IP address. Please be patient. If there are bugs, we will tackle them one at a time. Remember the goal is to be up and running with no glitches by camp. Doing this now assures us of that, because it gives us all summer to get our ducks in a row. Thank you!
I'm a little perplexed why we didn't go with Shayne Graham. As he does have some experience kicking here as a rookie (when he replaced Jake Arians) and he does have a better career field goal percentage than Rayner.
Would of prefered Brandon Coutu. Went to HS with him (same graduating class) big leg, kicked at UGA, was with the Seahawks on and off for the past few years.
COMING SOON...

As I said before, none of those guys are any good. Any kicker that is good is on a team. It is not easy to kick with CONSISTENCY, that is the reason guys like Olindo Mare & Steve Christie were able to have such long careers.
Having a few road games may benefit the Bills because Buffalo is a tough place to kick at.

Speaking of Georgia kickers, eek, has Blair Walsh crapped the bed or what?!?
well the good news is the next couple games should be easy kicking weather
Weather shouldn't be a factor. Rayner has one of the strongest legs in the NFL. His problem with accuracy on short kicks is in his head. The reason he keeps bouncing around is because teams get enamored with him when he tries out because his leg is so much stronger than the other kickers at the tryouts-then he misses a 30 yarder and the team is looking to replace him. The guy can kick 50 yarders in bad weather as good as any guy in the league, he just can't kick 30 yarders in good weather.

David Rayner, he is a football kicker slut. seems like he been on half the teams in the league. he must really blow.
You realize that, on average, there are only about two openings for kickers in the NFL each year, right? In many cases, if you're a kicker, you have to settle for living as an injury replacement, bouncing from team to team each year. It is extremely difficult to break into a permanent position, but when you do, you're pretty much in for the rest of your career.
