SydneyBillsFan Posted November 6, 2022 Share Posted November 6, 2022 (edited) In both our losses this year (both by 3 or less), Bass has missed some gettable field goals. There was zero wind today, and the miss against Miami was from 30-odd yards if I recall correctly. There were also a few close games last year where he missed field goals. It just seems to me that he is a factor in all our close losses. Kicking field goals and PAT's in blow outs is not that critical. We need a kicker to be good in the close ones. Not calling for his head, and the loss today is not necessarily on him but I am concerned as I think this is becoming a pattern.

MAJBobby Posted November 6, 2022 Share Posted November 6, 2022 Shouldn’t your top end Offense and MVP Candidate QB put up more than 17 points? Maybe start there before slamming Bass for missing a kick 3 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Turk Posted November 6, 2022 Share Posted November 6, 2022 No. I'm more concerned by the idiotic kick out of bounds 6 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More bothered by the kick out of bounds— his second of the year. I think they have him really try to sky those and place them in a precise spot— juice may not be worth the squeeze. 1 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yall Posted November 6, 2022 Share Posted November 6, 2022 Yeah, 55 yards is "gettable" but at that distance it's probably less than 50/50. Don't throw stupid picks, stop the run and you don't need to hope someone hits a long ball to tie the game. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LeGOATski Posted November 6, 2022 Share Posted November 6, 2022 Seems like more of a symptom than a cause... You don't fix anything by replacing a historically solid kicker. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bangarang Posted November 6, 2022 Share Posted November 6, 2022 It’s probably too early for that but I wouldn’t be opposed to it at some point. There’s really nothing special about Bass. Today wasn’t his first blunder of kicking it off out of bounds. It really shouldn’t happen, ever. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Franco_92 Posted November 7, 2022 Share Posted November 7, 2022 Today was the second time in his career (since he stabilized his rookie year) that I've wondered how long he'll be around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah allowing them to run the ball down the field from their own 4 yard line is inexcusable 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
