If SEA punted at a NFL average EPA/Punt last year they'd have improved their point differential by 10 points. That'd improve their pythag win expectation by 0.28 wins.
It's incredibly hard to directionally punt a ball *exactly* where you want it to go. My go-to example is think about how hard it is for a QB to throw it 60 yards where he wants it (45+15 behind LoS for punt). Now try to do that with your foot.

You're far more likely to either shank it short and end up with a 30 yard punt, or drive it back into the field of play with low hangtime, leading to a big return.

Interesting. Is that not a technique thing? Fly halves in rugby for example are pretty accurate, when on the run, with directional kicks, and they have to make it bounce before going out!
