Question about the Bass 57 yard FG....

[Big Turk]

I want to say the Cardinals kicker hit a 60 yarder from what I remember to end the half once?

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.

 

Bass's leg = Josh's arm: strong and accurate.

I think there was a groundswell with Tua's signing, but it might well be dwindling again.

Those XPs were drifting right. He will probably dead push one of those this year.  They all seem to miss from time to time. Otherwise he has had a really nice subtle draw working most of the year.

Bass is another really successful McBeane draft pick. A 6th round pick for a dam fine kicker is a great find.

A free kick is nothing like a FG...

 

Nothing aside from being a kick, that if it goes through the uprights is worth 3 points, and would technically count as a FG for the record attempt.

What? No.

That cake yesterday would’ve been good from even longer

[BearNorth]

I'm old enough to remember Pete Gogolak making a 57 yarder [one yard longer than the NFL record] in a preseason game, and that began the move to soccer style Kickers, think that was in 1964.

[BearNorth]

Last successful "free kick field goal" [the official term] was

 

Ray Wersching, San Diego vs. Buffalo, November 21, 1976.
Good from 45 at the end of the first half. This kick put the Chargers up 27-10, and so is missing from most brief recaps of the game. This is the last known successful NFL free kick.

Yes, I noticed it, too.  Essentially no run up - just blasts away.  Useful in on-side kick scenarios.

Okay, I see what you're saying.

Bills’ history. He scored 100 or more points in eight of his nine seasons in Buffalo and set the record for the longest successful field goal (59 yards) in Bills’ regular season play. His 54-yard FG against the Cowboys in January, 1994 set the Super Bowl record, which still stands today.

I thought it was interesting in post-game when Bass said his maximum distance in that direction was 59 yards,, (with wind?) and the other direction was 57 yards.  Now i find that amazing since the 57 yard direction would have been against the wind, no?  Maybe it was a pure cross wind on Sunday, I couldn't tell.  But the dude has some ridiculous range.  And he's young.  The leg still might get stronger.

Think Bass could hit a 67 yarder? That's what it takes to break the NFL record set by Baltimore a couple weeks ago.

 

I love watching video of the Baltimore kick "Doink"

 

I think Bass could do it with the wind at his back, maybe even in a dome.

I think he could do it, but I never want to have to find out.

Why not 3 points for doing that.

I think Dan Carpenter had a 58-yarder. This would only be the 3rd longest in Bills history.
