die hard bills fan Posted August 27, 2020 Posted August 27, 2020 The right decision but a tough business..

Call_Of_Ktulu Posted August 27, 2020 Posted August 27, 2020 I don’t think Houch will be a FA very long. He is a upgrade for at least 15 teams. I’m surprised the Bears haven’t signed him already. 1

Yes, Hauschka made clutch FGs against Houston, but he was also the reason they couldn't try a 54-yarder earlier in the 4th quarter. The Bills used a 6th round draft pick on Bass! That's not a throwaway pick. The writing was on the wall, and the only way Hauschka was going to keep this job is if he was lights out and the kid looked out of place. Neither happened. Bass was every bit as good as Hauschka in camp, was better in the stadium conditions, and has a huge leg. Add the cap savings and this one, in hindsight, was relatively easy to predict. 3 1

boater Posted August 27, 2020 Posted August 27, 2020 Bubble Bass (a nod to Sponge Bob fans) was making 50 yarders from a standing position earlier this summer. Bass be the future. A bright future.

Dr.Sack Posted August 27, 2020 Posted August 27, 2020 I have no idea the new guys range, but he must of impressed. Consider we had the ball 1st and 10 at Houston’s 43 yard line. That’s a 60 yard FG. I’m not saying it was going to be an easy make, but after the Allen 1 yard run, would a team who has a kicker capable of making it from 59 yards not try 2 more runs. So instead of the Cole Beasley attempted pass on 2nd down figure we get another 1-2 yards. Assuming another run on 3rd down gains a yard then we are looking at a max 57 yard field goal to win our first playoff game in 25 years. Clearly McD did not think that was the best course of action - proving House $ was doubted from that range. I want a clutch kicker who consistently gets touchbacks & can consistently hit from 55-60 yards.

Yeah I don't know if it messed something up physiologically in his body but his leg strength/leg speed really went down badly after that hit...the first 50 yd FG I saw him try after that was pathetic and ended up well short and I immediately knew something was really off somewhere. He used to make those with ease...I mean he holds the all time NFL record(which he set here) for most consecutive 50 yd FG's made. Edited August 27, 2020 by matter2003
