Question about the Bass 57 yard FG....

[Special K]

Was that the longest FG ever made by any kicker (home or visiting team) in Buffalo??

 

I tried Googling it, but didn’t get anywhere, but I couldn’t remember any kick that long made in Buffalo.

 

Not to mention the fact that the kick would have been good from 65 yards!!!

 

Bass-O-Matic rules!!!!!

I can’t remember the exact game, but I know Christie once hit a 59 yarder at Rich in the early 90’s run—anyone else recall that too?

I remember Christie hitting one from 59 against this same filthy disgusting joke of a franchise we played today.

I think the last second field goal in the Cowboys Monday night game was longerr but I dont remember exact details for some reason...

I think that game and the “just give it to them” game vs. the Pats were the two games I was the angriest I’ve ever been after a Bills loss.

Only 65?  Judging from the view of the end zone cam behind the posts, probably would have been good from 70.  I hope they let him unload on a couple record attempts late in the season when he already has his Pro Bowl status secured.  Maybe on a "fair catch free kick", he could easily put one through on one of those.

Wish our punter had the leg our kicker has.

I thought on the broadcast I heard them say 3rd highest.

[Charles Romes]

Norwood’s 44 yarder to clinch the ‘91 AFC championship game against the Broncos, which felt at least as long as 64 yards. To this day I’m still shocked he actually managed to make that kick.

That was from 53.   I thought the same thing and looked it up.

Yep, worst move of the off-season, other than not addressing the G position.

Oh boy, Doc, I also remember him making that kick against those guttersnipes of Mount Worthlessness and swallowers of ineptitude gruel and chum soup.

True he is maddening at times, but he appears to be money as a holder.

At least Haack knows how to turn the laces away from the kicker. That cost us in the past.

The one thing that I noticed that Jeremy White pointed out today....Bass is right on top of the holder.  Takes just one step and kicks.  His leg is insane.

He's always had a short approach but it's getting ridiculous now.

When he did it yesterday on a 57 yrd attempt that ended up being good for another 10 yards I was trying to remember a time I had ever seen a guy do that and I couldn't come up with one.

That child is spring-loaded.

I actually got nervous on his 57 yarder.  I thought he didn't get enough behind it because the approach was way too short....then my jaw dropped.

Christie still has Bills record at 59

A free kick is nothing like a FG...
