Rian Lindell Vs Dave Rayner's Opportunity

[Sniper]

The Bills today announced that they have signed kicker Dave Rayner. The free agent journeyman kicker has played on 10 different teams including the Bills (Indianapolis, Dallas, Kansas City, Detroit, Green Bay, Miami, San Diego, Washington, and Oakland).

Ever since Rayner was drafted in the 6th round by the Colts, he has been unable to stick on a team, and this is evident by his constant release and inability to make an opening day roster. He has a 73.3 career field goal percentage and currently in the NFL this is not going to cut it.

He'll get cut as soon as Lindell gets back.

This is a horrible loss for Buffalo, and could keep plenty of points off the board, as well as giving opposing teams great field position off of missed FG attempts. Like the winds of the Meadowlands, it's not easy kicking in Buffalo. Lindell is a kicker who's perfect for the winds, cold and overall bad conditions of Buffalo come winter time. Horrible loss for Buffalo.

Losing Lindell is going to hurt big time. Everyone says it's only until he gets back. Well of course but that is 2-6 weeks with 8 games left in the regular season. Even if it was 2 or 3 games if this guy blows us a game or two that could be the difference in the season.

If they are saying 2-6 weeks that's quite the spread. I see him being out for around 4 week if you cut it down the middle. Not good at all for us.
