Congrats young man, well deserved.  

 

Secondary congratulations go to Matt Haack for all of those quality holds...looking for the silver lining in his game 🙂

Can we have a 20 page discussion about how rock solid Bass is?

[Freddie's Dead]

The golf clap is hilarious!

I honestly think Tyler Bass is my second favorite player behind Allen.

I still don't know why teams don't spend a late round pick on kickers.  Most of those picks are throwaways anyway and kickers are so important to a team.  I get that some take a few years to develop (Bass didn't), but still.

 

And it's apparent the Bills found, and fixed, the problem that caused his FG% to drop precipitously during his senior season.  Good on them.

Kudos to the young man

Dude is a baller.  Love the attitude he brings (strange to say about a kicker), but he's genuinely pumped when he makes a long FG to help the team.  Total team player.

Way to go Swaggy Bass!!

Tyler Bass is everything you could want in a kicker.

One of the strongest legs in the league, accurate, "swaggy" (as his teammates say), and -- as time goes on and more and more evidence trickles in -- clutch.

If you look around the league, kicking situations are awful almost everywhere. The teams who don't have a dependable long term kicker outweigh those that do. It's nice to have the Bills be one of the teams that have their kicking situation figured out, particularly since the Bills are now in a championship window.

Oh, and by the way....the Bills drafted Tyler Bass AFTER the Patriots picked a kicker in the same round. The Patriots kicker is now out of the league. That feels nice.

Lastly, let me just say: I am ALWAYS in favor of using 6th and 7th round picks on kickers and punters. The contributions you're going to get from a good kicker or punter (but especially kicker) over the course of their career likely FAR outweigh the contributions you're going to get from, say, a safety that only plays special teams.

The Cheaters actually took their Nazi kicker almost a full round before the Bills took Bass.

 

And this coming draft, they should take a punter late.  Any suggestions?

Tyler Bass is the Bills' Justin Tucker. I really think Tucker and Bass are the best two in the league.

Agreed… easily.

My favorite thing about the Colts game is that in the previous offseason both the Bills and Colts were looking for a new kicker. The bills took Tyler Bass in the sixth round while the Colts went the UDFA route with Rodrigo Blankenship. In the playoff game Blankenship missed a 34 yarder and Bass hit a 54 yarder and the Bills won by 3. We won because Beane made the right move and Bass executed in the clutch.

But Blankenship has amazing glasses!  Interesting, both in the same draft class and both played CFB in Georgia.
