Which Buffalo Bills disappointed in the game against the Chicago Bears on Saturday?
I hate to be that guy, I really do. But somebody has to be.
The Buffalo Bills trounced the Chicago Bears on Saturday, steamrolling to an impressive 41-15 win over the Monsters of the Midway. It was a dominant performance highlighted by a number of excellent individual efforts, but as any coach will tell you, there are areas in need of improvement.
Here are four players that didn’t have a strong Week 2 of the preseason.
Matt Haack
The day didn’t start off well for the Buffalo Bills’ new punter.
His first punt of the game sailed a lowly 29 yards, which allowed Chicago to start its drive on its own 40-yard line. While Haack won’t be able to match the massive boots Bills fans were accustomed to seeing from Corey Bojorquez, mistakes like that one could prove costly in crucial situations.
The outing did improve for Haack, however. With four punts in the contest, the 27-year-old pinned the Bears inside its own 20 once while averaging 41.0 yards per punt.
Through two preseason games, Haack has nine punts for a combined 385 yards (42.8 yards) while he’s pinned the opponent inside the 20 on four of those kicks.
