Epic Fail by Bills not so sign Punt God. They trotted Martin out there against Chiefs and he couldn't punt. Should of IR'd him and signed Punt God back then. what a fail. The curse of the PUNT GOD is alive and well.

I wanted Araiza to work out for the Bill's like everyone else, but he was a project when we drafted him. Could punt it in the lake but he didn't have much else and never took a regular season snap in the league. I would have been mortified seeing him on his first active roster in a Bill's playoff game.
We'll find out soon enough if he's any good.
I'm sure the Chiefs liked what they saw when he auditioned for them.
Playoff I get it ....... but he had to be a better choice than the injured Martin.
Martin IMO should have been IR'D he was still injured.
Araiza was our starter until the accusations were made ..... he won the job.

A few of us had the wait and see before we convicted Punt God.
Others (the usual left) had him convicted and wanted him gone.
How convenient the threads are gone from back then.

Punt the least of any punter in the league. Stand on the sideline and watch Mahomes knock the team that presumed you guilty out of the playoffs again. Get a super bowl ring. If there were other teams interested. picking KC was an easy choice.
It almost didn't matter what anyone believed or didn't believe I don't think. The Bills were in a tough spot. You had to take the accusation seriously. But the problem was no one knew what the facts were and it took like a year for Araiza to get exonerated. Exactly what were the Bills supposed to do? Carry an extra punter on the roster?

They wouldn't have been in any spot if they had passed on him, like a couple of other teams had.
We could have had, and the guy I wanted, Stonehouse with the same pick or as an UDFA. No headaches, which the team should have been aware of going in.
Beane ****ed up, plain and simple.
