Uncle Joe Posted September 14, 2020 Posted September 14, 2020 (edited) I was hoping they would keep 2 kickers Haus$ and Bass (like they did with Gay). Let Bass develop but don't lose games if he can't make the short ones. This is assuming Haus$ hadn't dropped off significantly this year. I don't get all the Hopkins kudos - he's good but has missed a lot of game winners. Edited September 14, 2020 by Uncle Joe

Nothing excuses a short kick miss. Hauschka missed 2 in that range (and longer) all year. Bass missed as many in his first game. This isn't even hard doc.

oldmanfan Posted September 15, 2020 Posted September 15, 2020 He pushed his kicks a little. Don’t know how many here play golf, but it’s similar to a guy rushing the downswing. Your hands can’t catch up and you hit a push. He can fix this easily enough. But if it gets in his head and becomes a mental thing it could be a problem.

And yes, missing 1 (of 2 all year up to 50 yards) FG from that range "cost" them the game against the mighty Browns.

blacklabel Posted September 15, 2020 Posted September 15, 2020 Easy, junior. He'll be alright. They knew they were rolling the dice on a rookie kicker without the benefit of pre-season. I'm sure they're aware that they're going to have to live with the occasional miss on a kick that should be good. Kicking ain't easy. Let the kid settle in and get some games under his belt before you go chasing him out of town.

Let the kid settle in and get some games under his belt before you go chasing him out of town. I suggest we make his next 50-100 kicks extra points and kickoffs to help him get the jitters out. Let’s just score touchdowns and let him settle in! Who doesn’t LOVE that solution?

The consensus was that you are wrong. Pointing out this kid struggled kicking FGs in college last year isn't "pining for Hauschka" Also, since the ball was never "between the uprights", but well above both--what you "saw" never happened. In fact that's why not could not be reviewed. But, sure, you "saw" it... Edited September 15, 2020 by Mr. WEO

If it continues he’ll be gone. It’s that simple. That much is obvious. The point is to stop freaking out over one game. 1 minute ago, Mr. WEO said: There was a discussion of this earlier in the box.

I kept waiting for you (or anyone) to step in and tell us that you "saw" the ball "squeak through the uprights" (which is pretty funny as an argument).

As I told everyone at my 1,200 person backyard pool party/Bills watch party - if the ref standing right underneath the upright misses that call, we have bigger problems. 1

It’s just a noted concern and something to watch going forward. Those were two gimme FGs he missed. TWO. Not one. Nope, one. And obviously it's a concern when you have a rookie kicker.

You imagined it.

Beane should have Haus on speed dial just in case the kid cant turn it around 1
