Matt_In_NH Posted November 23, 2020 Posted November 23, 2020 Gary Anderson Hopefully its Bass in the long run.....some good nickname options. And when he misses a big kick all you have to do is drop the B.
Nextmanup Posted November 23, 2020 Posted November 23, 2020 This question is kind of like asking "of all the kisses you have given your sister, which was the best?" 1

QCity Posted November 23, 2020 Posted November 23, 2020 5 hours ago, foreboding said: Is there any other answer than Nick Mick O Meyer? 🤣 Just to show how far kicking has come in the last 40 years, Mike-Mayer lasted 11 years in the NFL and boasted a 56.4% FG rate. In 11 years in the league he made 1 FG over 50 yds. He was slightly better than a coin toss every time he lined up to kick! 1
BADOLBILZ Posted November 23, 2020 Posted November 23, 2020 Gary Anderson..........by far the most successful career of a 7th round pick by the Buffalo Bills. 1

He played just 2 seasons with the Bills both being AFL Championships. He made the pro-bowl in 1965. Then he 'jumped' to the Giants in the NFL which was historic at that time and played 9 more seasons.
Matt_In_NH Posted November 23, 2020 Posted November 23, 2020 The first kicker I remember is Nick mike-Mayer. I remember van Miller saying his name in a rhyming kind of way. I just looked at his stats.....he sucked.

LABILLBACKER Posted November 24, 2020 Posted November 24, 2020 My favorite place kicker will be the Bill who kicks the game winning fg in the SB.
billsfan89 Posted November 24, 2020 Posted November 24, 2020 The Bills have never had much in the kicking department since I have been a fan in 2000. For most of my Fandom Lindell was the kicker and he was solid but I never really thought of him having good range. It seemed like with Lindel that they would be good from 45 yards and under and anything getting close to 50 was always dicey. But they did get some good years here and there. Haush in 2017 was money and Carpenter in 2013 and 2014 was a stud. Hopefully Bass is the real deal for years to come.

Both attempted just 1 FG and missed. Can you name them?? Shayne Graham hit 75% of his FG attempts and lasted just 1 season. Who had the 2nd highest FG completion % in Bills history?? My favorite is Dan Carpenter who played with the team from 2013-2016. His FG % was 86.5 ( team record) and also made 14 of 21 kicks outside 50 yards. Most likely Steve Christie
