I came.
I saw.
I conquered.
I'm confused. I think there has to be another move coming. I'd have thought if they would have cut Carpenter, not Gay.
"'Clean up your room.', 'Stand up straight.', 'Pick up your feet.', 'Take it like a man.', 'Be nice to your sister.', 'Don't mix beer and wine, ever.'. Oh yeah, 'Don't drive on the railroad track.'"
"Eh, Phil. That's one I happen to agree with."
Agree conpletely. Gay has done his job. Carpenter is the one who has been iffy..
I thought that they were kind of stashing Gay to become the full time kicker later on. Hes been kicking the ball through the endzone (which is all hes been asked to do), so you cut him and sign a 35 year old? Doesnt make sense that they cut the kicker whos been doing his job over carpenter who hasnt
They got a roster exemption to keep IK practice eligible but he can't play until they clear a roster space. Expect Carpenter gone to make room for him.
Also, how did we make room for Boom?

Carpenter I think will be given the chance this week to keep his job. Having Cundiff gives the Bills a second guy who can be a place-kicker while also being able to get touchbacks.

Dan's in the pan, just about to be fried.
Carpenter is on the injury report, so it seems like they wanted another kicker to make FG and PAT, in case Carpenter can't kick.
Releasing Gay means they don't trust him to do anything but kick off, and they didn't want to release Carpenter to bring in a backup.

How awful is Gay as a place kicker? He must really terrible.
He's really not though. He made a 50+ yarder with the wind in his face against me in college, and he was the best kicker in our conference for a few years. Not sure how that doesnt translate to the NFL, maybe he's just not accurate enough.
It's so strange that Carpenter's wife was just on John Murphy Show talking about hosting this annual community event, and next thing you know they may be out of the job already.
Cruel world.
Cundiff is plan B in case DC has another **** week.
This is it for Carpenter. If he ****s the bed vs the Titans he's gonna get the axe.
Lets hope the Cundiff signing lights a fire under his ass and he goes back to his pre 2015 form.
As for Gay its a tough situation. He sure did his job well. But roster spots are limited and having a guy that only kicks off is a luxury.
Thigpen also got cut. Another guy that does ONE thing. I remember saying right after the Fred cut that I couldn't understand why those 2 dudes made the team above Fred. ****ing Whaley is so inept that it took 2 injuries to our RB's and DC struggling for him to realize this.
This is the only rational explanation-Carpenter is not gone. If he doesn't get better he'll go on IR. Cundiff is so bad that all the teams who have cut their kickers in recent weeks didn't sign him. Relax-Carpenter's phone would be ringing off the hook if the Bills were stupid enough to release him-give the team more credit than that.
Thigpen deserved to get cut after fair catching inside the 10 at least 3 times.

two of the three major fups that blew that game last week got served
jerry is just lucky his black ass is so good rushing the passer
One set of rules for all in the beloved community
Gay splits the uprights on every kickoff. Why are they yanking him around like this?
I lay this move at the GMs feet. I can see not being confident in DC but really.Cundiff? Im confused ! All these trades , confusing picks and I see don't see a team much better then 8-8.
" I'd try to see things from your point of view but..........there's only room up your a** for one head ! "
Well on the positive at least we won't be wasting 2 spots on kickers anymore assuming we're going to release Carpenter. On the negative this is Billy Cundiff's 14th ****ing team, is that a record?
