Was it just me, or did it look good? Is it possible that T Bass kicks it so high that the refs don’t see it go thru the uprights? It happened once already this season.

I know hindsight is 20/20 but why not use a timeout after the Pick 6 to let Bass warm up? He was sitting on the bench not expecting to come in since the defense was on the field. We ended up going to the half with 3 timeouts in our pocket.

As hot as Bass has been you didn't expect him to miss a chippy

If it was a warm up issue then he shouldn't be doing anything else but warming up. Failing to prepare is preparing to fail. 

 

It was a rare error by Bass in recent weeks. Having said that, did it miss? I thought it was similar to the one in his first game.

Surely you can't be serious....take a TO after a TD for your kicker?

I've just questioned this in another thread. Looked very close to being good to me. I'll have another couple of looks on Gamepass to see if it's any clearer the day (sort of) after.

Because we might have needed them later to help us get 3 or 6?

Has that ever happened in the history of the NFL? Take a timeout before an extra point attempt?

I can’t think in any game I’ve ever watched in my life I’ve seen a team use a timeout (even if they have 3 and don’t need them) to warm up a kicker for an extra point. This could easily fit into another thread.

1.  I will start the fire under the tar pot, and make sure there is an adequate supply of feathers.

2. Did anyone see Knox slip Bass a couple of C notes, and hear him say "take some of the heat off me, will ya'?"

he's still going to miss those like that. hopefully fewer and farther between. it was a drag though, I thought at the time.

 

you want a good laugh, scroll through the (any) GDT and read the over reactions. now that in itself will make you forget about the missed point after, Lol

It is the kickers job to be ready to kick.  He had plenty of time between the pick six, the celebration and then the kick.

 

If I ever saw a coach use a timeout to let a kicker get "warmed up" (unless MAYBE if it was a game winner) i would lobby for said coach to be fired.

Feels like the NFL’s equivalent to the MLB strikezone. Tech could do it better unquestionably, but they prefer the nostalgia. Personally, I love the ump calling balls and strikes over tech, but this is stupid on extra points. Especially with all the emphasis they put on cameras down the goal line.

That's exactly what I'm saying!!! You have the timeouts why not use them instead of throwing them away. I bet he would have made it if they would have just saying.
