That doesn’t justify Bass missing 2 kicks in a close, low scoring game.

How many kickers in the NFL today can you confidently say would go out and hit 6/8? 7/8? 8/8? I struggled to find many that could do what Bass did today

I struggled to find many that could do what Bass did today I would respond average to above average kickers go 7/8. 8/8 would be great kickers. 6/8 would be mediocre to average at best. Anything less than 6/8 would be looking for a job the next day unless you’ve established your name as a good kicker. Do not be fooled by the 6 makes. If you average 75 percent over the full year, that’s an unacceptable percentage for a competent kicker. Edited October 26, 2020 by BillsFan130

I found 7 kickers in the league I’d be overly confident could hit 6/8 or better in one game. Not trying to say Bass is all world but kicking is down across the entire league. 1

As sketchy as the offence was at times, they had 8 drives to give them scoring opportunities. Bass delivered on only 6 of them, which is 75 percent and is well below average. If he goes 4/8 and they win 12-10, does he still get a game ball? The defence basically shut down the jets to what was it, 4 yards or something In the 2nd half? Saying bass is the “only one” who scored points is an extremely shallow way of looking at the game and how the game played out IMO. Right...and they delivered on exactly zero of them. If it weren’t for special teams we were on pace for a whopping zero points today. Even with a few short fields.

If you average out 75 Percent for a full year, that’s simply not good enough. 1

How many kickers in the NFL could you confidently say would go out and hit 6/8? 7/8? 8/8? The better kickers, I would be pretty confident in 7/8 in good weather or a dome. But I would take 6/8 if he didn't miss a short one.

LABILLBACKER Posted October 26, 2020 Posted October 26, 2020 Pretty sad how many Bills fans ignored the day Jerry had. His best game of the year. 1

GreggTX Posted October 26, 2020 Posted October 26, 2020 1. Beasley 2. Hughes Josh played OK as did much of the defense and both RB's, but these 2 clearly stood out. I was happy to see Jackson play well, but how will he fare against top tier receivers? Perhaps we'll know soon enough.

T master Posted October 26, 2020 Posted October 26, 2020 What's happened to MVP Josh ? John Brown goes inactive & so does Josh WUWT ?

I was getting frustrated with the lack of holding calls, but I watched three games yesterday and it was consistent throughout. The league must be trying to get scoring up by telling the refs to call less holding.

Separate the fact that there were no TD’s from the rest of Josh’s game. He accounted for over 360 yards of offence and his receivers, aside from Beasley, were not creating space for him to throw into. I will enjoy seeing the All 22 this week to determine what happened in the Red Zone, but my eyes told me that play calling and lack of separation were his enemies yesterday.
