And the QB couldn’t manage to lead scoring drives. we need a QB 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. see what I did there. And this post is as meaningless as yours.

mrags Posted November 7, 2022 Share Posted November 7, 2022 Would also be nice if he didn’t kick the ball out of bounds in close games either. Pretty sure that’s happened before. Might have been Miami Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DabillsDaBillsDaBills Posted November 7, 2022 Share Posted November 7, 2022 Bass is 12 / 15 for the year on FGs with misses of 38 (Dolphins), 49 (Steelers), and 55 (Jets). It's not a stretch to say that Bass cost us both the Dolphins and the Jets games. Although it's probably not fair to blame him when the misses happened early in the games and so many other players made costly mistakes. The kick offs out of bounds are a concern as well, but I blame that on coaching. Can we please stop ***** around with these high, short kicks and just have Bass boot it for a touchback? I don't think we're at the point where we need to consider dropping Bass this season, but I do think Beane will have some pondering to do this offseason. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheyCallMeAndy Posted November 7, 2022 Share Posted November 7, 2022 No, but I’ve wondered if McD fully trusts him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DapperCam Posted November 7, 2022 Share Posted November 7, 2022 The miss in Miami was tipped, and I want to say the hold was bad too (wasn’t the long snapper out that game)? 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BillsfaninChicago Posted November 7, 2022 Share Posted November 7, 2022 Omg what is going on here with this forum tonight?! LOL I usually don’t come on TBD after a loss but the only other topic on social media seems to be the midterms and I want to escape from that stuff. I guess I can go to the adult websites and fortunately that is like 95% of the rest of internet so I will see you all on Thursday or Friday. 1 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rc2catch Posted November 7, 2022 Share Posted November 7, 2022 Who replaces him? Kicking is not exactly great across the league. I like Bass, I think they get a little too cute on these kickoffs wanting to have teams start inside the 20. But I certainly don’t want the kid replaced 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have bigger problems that blaming the loss on Bass’ missed 55 yard FG, which is essentially a coin flip (which somehow we never seem to win either).

Ya Digg? Posted November 7, 2022 Share Posted November 7, 2022 What guy off the street will give you more confidence from 55 yards?? The kickoff out of bounds was bad, I’ll give you that, but I feel like the Bills try more with their kickoffs than any other team in the league. I think it’s actually pretty impressive how often he has that ball come up just short of the goal line and puts it on one side of the field Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuffaloRebound Posted November 7, 2022 Share Posted November 7, 2022 The sequence leading up to the 55 yarder was more the problem than missing the kick. 2 poor decisions/passes from opponent’s 43 yard line with Jets D on their heels then over-conservative 5 yard run to set up 55 yard field goal. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zow2 Posted November 7, 2022 Share Posted November 7, 2022 I would not consider a new kicker, no. But i am also disappointed in Bass. We’ve needed him in these divisional games and he’s not been clutch. As mentioned there was no wind today and negligible in Miami. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t mind a missed fg here and there but the kickoffs that go out of bounds is infuriating 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
