The Firebaugh Kid Posted August 27, 2020 Posted August 27, 2020 Dude was clutch. Fading....but clutch. Bass will have an easier adjustment with no crowd noise. 2

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. I'm referring to the "other" 47 yarder missed in Bills history..... still WAAAAAAAYYYYY TTOOOOOOOOOO SOOOOOOONNN 1 1
billsbackto81 Posted August 27, 2020 Posted August 27, 2020 Thanks Hausch!! At least you didn't let us down in the playoffs. Good luck 4 minutes ago, The Firebaugh Kid said: Dude was clutch.

muppy Posted August 27, 2020 Posted August 27, 2020 Bills deciding to go with the younger guy...add in cap savings as well as he be doing well in camp so far this move to me is no shock. Giving Hauschka enough time to catch on elsewhere is a classy move as has been stated. Its officially time to Kick BASS Mr Bass welcome to the full time roster. "The Golden Swing" may it be so. 1

LABILLBACKER Posted August 27, 2020 Posted August 27, 2020 This was the right move. Hauschka hit some nice kicks but his shortened range could not be ignored. Let the Bass era begin. 1

TigerJ Posted August 27, 2020 Posted August 27, 2020 Bass needs to work on becoming a little more consistent, but the Bills had to go with him because of his big leg. A few decades ago, Buffalo drafted a promising place kicker. He had a terrible training camp and the Bills got rid of him. Gary Anderson went on to have a Hall of Fame career. I'm glad the Bills took a chance on the kid. 2
