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!
Pro: pretty consistent, can handle pressure situations, better than most kickers in the league
Con: when he has a bad it is really bad, better days are behind him
Con: he sucks really bad at kickoffs...really bad. He would often kick it out of bounds on kickoffs.
Pro: Dosn't get much more clutch than hitting a 54 yarder to send it to OT...I will remember the scream i let out when that ball bounced off the upright, then went in.
Could Moorman do kickoffs? I've seen him at training Camp kicking off and he can kick the heck out of it. I just don't want him to get a dead leg again
Hollis does suck on kick-offs that's why I could care less if he stays or goes. Better performance on kick-off's would translate into more points than a couple more missed field goals if the guy is not as consistent. You can't ignore the big kicks though having a clutch guy is huge. It would be better to have a guy you are confident throwing out there for a 55 yarder any time in the game also like David Akers. We chose to punt from the 32 yard line last season I don't care about the weather Hollis is expendable.
Sometimes fan's memories just friggen amaze me....
Hollis had what.....ONE bad game last year?
He is not a kickoff specialist...and never was
It is that hard to remember the year before him when we couldn't count on our kicker to hit a chippee field goal regardless of the situation....and it factored in so much that we were going for it on 4th down in situaitons where we realistically should have been kicking field goals....
Please, please...PLEASE dont let Hollis go in a year where we might actually be good enough to get far into the playoffs....I hope Bills mgt has learned its lesson here.....

Excellent point, John! Welcome back!
We need a clutch kicker and Hollis has been one over his career. Sign him up!
Guys, before we go pushing Mike out the door, remember his clutch games. Also, how can we forget the kick that knocked our beloved Bills out of the playoffs?

THAT'S WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT WILLIS!!!!!!!!!!! Touchdown Wills McGahee!!!!!

No, we certainly can't forget that one...bounced off the right upright and in...I missed that game cause I couldn't get out of work.
