boater Posted September 14, 2020 Share Posted September 14, 2020 Reading these impatient comments.... I'm so glad professionals run the Bills, not some trigger happy fans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have to eat the inconsistency early to get to a place where they are reliable. He was pushing everything right. But yet his PATS were right down the middle. 5 hours ago, Jauronimo said: https://www.democratandchronicle.com/story/sports/football/nfl/bills/2020/09/13/tyler-bass-buffalo-bills-rookie-kicker-field-goal-called-no-good-referees/5786688002/ I don't know how anyone can watch that video and say the kick was good. Exactly without depth perception you can't tell. You can't say it was no good either. Though the ref can and from looking straight up he called it out. 3 hours ago, Doc said: I went through the uprights. Really, how can you determine depth perception? If you can tell me that kick was in, please tell me the lottery numbers for Tuesday. Edited September 14, 2020 by Ed_Formerly_of_Roch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miyagi-Do Karate Posted September 14, 2020 Share Posted September 14, 2020 Browns cut their kicker— was a fifth rounder last year.

Doc Posted September 14, 2020 Share Posted September 14, 2020 (edited) 3 hours ago, Jauronimo said: Did I invent details from the broadcast to suit my position? You see a ball clearly going between the uprights in that video and picture? You believe the angle we have is better than the view of the official which was right underneath the upright? I once saw not one but two officials claim that a guy not only caught a ball past the first down marker, but in-bounds, so forgive me if I don't believe one official that suits your position. Especially when I saw the ball sneak through the uprights, McDermott was yelling at the refs to review the play because he saw the same thing, and the announcing crew replayed the kick well after it happened and they and their guest ref analyst agreed it was a good FG. We'll agree to disagree and hope that Bass makes it less able for the refs to decide things. Edited September 14, 2020 by Doc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank god we have the Dolphins next week. If he misses one next week, he has to go. There was no reason to draft this kid if this is what he does under pressure. You're full of stevestojan!😀 For the newer posters here, he didn't like that the swear filter substitutied poop for the s- word, so Scott (SDS) made it his name for a while.

You're hallucinating--It didn't sneak through the uprights at all--it obviously went over the uprights, so McD should have known it was not reviewable These were 38 and 34 yard kicks. Even his 22 yarder barely made it inside the R pole. Edited September 14, 2020 by Mr. WEO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob in STL Posted September 14, 2020 Share Posted September 14, 2020 I have no idea if the wind effected the many kicks that went right. He lives another day. Let’s see what he does for a few games before we rush to judgement. Gary Anderson, one of the all time great kickers, was cut as a drafted rookie by Chuck Knox because he missed every FG in preseason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doc Posted September 14, 2020 Share Posted September 14, 2020 Just now, Mr. WEO said: Got not choice. Sure there are choices. They could always go back to Hauscka and get a guy who missed from 30 yards last year against the Browns that might have changed the outcome, and who can't kickoff. There are also other kickers who couldn't latch-on with other teams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt_In_NH Posted September 14, 2020 Share Posted September 14, 2020 5 hours ago, Jauronimo said: We do not have to be patient nor should we be. This is a team built to take the division, host a playoff game, and make a run. There is no room for a kicker we can't count on. Kicks inside 50 yards need to be nearly automatic at the NFL level. If he costs us a game, hes gone. I get your point but there is not a line of all pro kickers sitting in the unemployment line. We were not patient with Dustin Hopkins. Do we get rid of a QB when they cost you a game or a running back who fumbles or a RT who gives up some sacks in his first game? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billsbackto81 Posted September 14, 2020 Share Posted September 14, 2020 He made 2 of 4 but let's face it, the first was a blown call. Wet surface? Bad hold? Maybe. My only concern is if he's inaccurate in a empty home stadium what's he gonna do when he gets iced in a loud fan frenzied environment on the road?

Mat68 Posted September 14, 2020 Share Posted September 14, 2020 (edited) Hes a rookie. He is going to miss some easy ones Hauscka missed some easy on too.
