(#13) When Tyler Bass makes his next seven field goal attempts...

[dollars 2 donuts]

...He'll qualify for the all time NFL field goal percentage list.

 

If he maintains his average (86%, it would be making 6 of the next 7), then he will be the 13th most accurate field goal kicker in NFL history.

 

https://www.statmuse.com/nfl/ask?q=best+field+goal+percentage+for+nfl+kickers+all-time#:~:text=Justin Tucker has the highest,a kicker%2C hitting 91.0 percent.

 

If he makes his next seven kicks his 87% would put him 8th.

 

His average the last couple of years would have him in the top 4 or so.

 

He has 1 more year left on his deal, so at least it is not something we have to worry about at the start of 2023.

 

EDIT:

 

By week 7 of his rookie season he was 12-17, for 70.5%.  Since then he is 68-76 and a 89.5 Field Goal Percentage.  

 

He has a gaudy 8.5 point per game average in his career which, if kept up this season, would supplant his own Bills record  of 141 with 144 points.  He is likely to go over 400 points this year in just 3 seasons.

And there were many on this board who didn't want him!

    As I said in another thread, he is the best kicker we’ve had since Christie. The peace of mind he provides is a gift some refuse to accept.

    My hope is that he stays around another 10 years minimum.

As well check out the "EDIT" in the original post.

The fact that he can usually kick it out of the end zone is a total luxury.  Kickers on the way out like Hauschka in his last years and Folk like was saw last night lose this ability and you need to think about a roster spot eating kickoff specialist.

Bassomatic.

He's significantly better.

I think this is likely true but I need to see him in the postseason, on tg biggest stages nailing some long ones before I get there fully.

Well, we’re all unique in our own way, but thankfully few of us are like you. He just hit a game winning FG on the last play last week. That wasn’t enough pressure??

   Playoffs are different Chandler. We’ve both seen record SB kicks and misses.

    Zero disrespect to Bass. His arrow is pointing straight up. However, SC holds a special place in my memories

The Josh Allen of kickers.

[Buffalo_Stampede]

The Patriots drafted a kicker right before Bass that they cut his rookie year. That’s when the torch was passed.

[Saxum]

Maybe he will get all 7 in next game against JEST.

Score of 21-0 the hard way.

As long as he's not wide right if it matters in February....I could give a crap less about all time %.

😀

Yep, wound still raw 😏

[Mr. WEO]

I think "of all time" means after a player retires....

[Einstein's Dog]

Bass is a good kicker.  He has been money since the bad rookie start.

 

That website should make some more categories.  For extra points show the post 2015 extra length ones separately.  And maybe show the 50 yard plus ones as a category.
