It's strange that your backup holder isn't the backup quarterback. Andy Reid just to dress Koy Detmer because he was David Akers' preferred holder.

I was under the impression it changed because the value of a desperation "oh shit, bad snap" punt is higher than the value of a potential fake FG.

I don't remember where I heard that though. It might be something I made up.

I’ve taken the liberty of putting together a fun list for everyone to understand the state of the Bills vs Josh Allen

Let’s look at Beane’s history while needing WR outside of Diggs who he is now paying 31 million to beat him:

1. Trades for Kelvin Benjamin. The worst WR ever
2. Signs the husk of what used to be Emmanuel Sanders
3. Trades for pass catching RB at the deadline. He returns punts
4. Drafts CB Elam in round 1. He doesn’t play
5. Drafts DE Basham in round 2. He is traded
6. Drafts a pass catching RB in round 2. Says they see him as another receiver
7. Drafts a tight end in round 1. Says they see him as another receiver
8. Pays Curtis Samuel to get negative yards
9. Chase Claypool
10. Mack Hollins
11. MVS
12. Trades down twice when he has no alternative but to acquire an actual mother f***ing receiver…allowing three teams to take their pick at the position first. The ONLY WR drafted in the first two days of the drafts during Beane’s entire tenure. Drafts no other WR

And my personal favorite

13. Calls John Brown and Cole Beasely out of retirement to try and win with them as their #2 and #3 in the playoffs after sitting for a year.
It is completely inexcusable how he has handled the WR room since he has been GM. I think the only good thing that he has done with it , besides Diggs , was go out and get Brown and Beasely for the 2019 season . He kinda had no choice though. He would've been crucified if he didnt address the room especially after the abomination of a Corps that he trotted out for Allen's rookie season the year before.

First down signal is not the same as shooting guns. These old dudes in the stripes need to get their **** together.
