    Can't wait until this guy drills 4-5 punts inside the five against us in a huge game, which is something we all know is destined to happen.

    I'd take that right now. When's the last time the Chiefs punted 5 times in a game against us?

    I'm happy for the kid. He's been through a lot just to get to this point none of which was his fault. Do I think it was a missed opportunity for us? Yeah kind of. I mean Martin has been fine but Araiza could be an upgrade and cheaper, although probably about a wash in year 1 with the dead cap of 800k on Martin.

    Luckily, KC never punts against us.

    Chiefs are smart. Young and cheap and will out punt most punters in the league. Good for him. He'll get a ring before JA.

    The smartest teams do the smartest things. Repeatedly.

    Gaining huge advantages in the pros where everyone is elite is very difficult. This means that acquiring as many edges as possible no matter how slight is very important.

    We need to be smart…er.

    Four times total in four playoff games!

    With our offense the punter isn't nearly as important as the kicker. We need an upgrade there.

    The bills may be kicking themselves for not signing Araiza, sooner rather than later.

    I doubt Araiza wants to sign with the Bills after not keeping him on the roster after the court case is over and I do not blame him for that

    Shouldn't have drafted him to begin with, waste of a draft pick with or without the baggage.

    I'd be looking for both positions to see change.

    The placekicker is obvious.

    Punter pulls a hammy running 15 yards ...... no thanks we need a better athlete.

    Re: Araiza signed

    It's good to see he gets another chance after being wrongfully accused by a ho with a shyster for a lawyer. That it's with the Chefs sucks, but he's not going to make a difference in them winning and losing and he's replacing the best punter in the league. But I hope he has a long career as an average punter who goes from team to team.

    And I saw an interview with him a few months ago and he basically said the Bills didn't have his back. I knew then he would never re-sign with them.

    And if Chris Jones leaves in FA, who cares who they sign at punter?
