What is up with Tyler Bass?

[BurpleBull]

Bass has always worried me. 

 

I think Bills fans' are willing to dismiss his kicking until he comes up short in a big game. Pretty much how fans started complaining about how Cook couldn't break tackles during a low point this season, although all the evidence of it was there his rookie season, when fans were willing to accept the lack of that attribute for the othsers that he has.

 

I always hold my breath when Bass is kicking because there's just this feeling that the kick can go either way.

Wants to break all the Bills kicking records:  no Bills kicker ever went wide right twice against the Giants.

It was really weird, and it was like McDermott already knew about it too.

 

Reid Ferguson had that injury, could that have something to do with it?

sounds like it was windy and wet there, i cant confirm, but sounds like he just didnt have it in warmups

[Dr.Sack]

The wind was 7mph or so. He definitely choked, whereas you watch KC and everyone comes up big, Butker and Kelce.

Nobody is perfect.

[MAJBobby]

Missed a couple long kicks. 
 

happens. 
 

kicker is the least of my concerns with this team. 

[SydneyBillsFan]

Sure, he missed a couple of 52 yarders in the wind. No disgrace there.

 

But - his misses all seem to occur in tight games that we typically lose. Kicking 4 FG in a game where we are ahead by 3 scores there is no pressure.

 

I do question his ability when the heat is on. A little bit anyway.

He had 3 FGs 50+ yards this year.

all things revert to the mean

He had a rough night.  Hopefully he doesn't have another one.

[Gregg]

He had bad night. It happens to everyone. I am sure he will be fine going forward.

Bass barely missed two long FG's to the right.  I'm not worried about his mechanics.  The kicks looked good they were not shanked 20 yards right or left.  Just unfortunate on a breezy night but I'm glad he got those out of his system in a win.

I'm only pissed at Bass because his missed FG's cost me a fantasy win,, but I'll forgive.

[Big Turk]

he had a bad game...doesn't usually have many and I am confident he will be fine.

[ExiledInIllinois]

Wasn't it misting during game. Especially later?

 

Is there still time to call the general contractor and order a dome????

 

 

[Over 29 years of fanhood]

He’s a rock solid kicker. A couple misses from 50+ in a win we can live with. 
 

 

I’m sure he’s working out the issue as we speak

[TheFunPolice]

he missed 2 long kicks, and both in the same game, which IMO is better than spreading them out over 2 games. 

 

It's one bad night, where the team just seemed flat in general, so I chalk it up to that.

 

If he hits one of the 2 the game is 17-9 at the end (maybe 18-9 or 16-9 if the Bills went for 2 after the 2nd TD)

Did he have his one eye blacked like usual? I don’t think he did. That was probably the issue.

[NoName]

I don't think he's that good on kicks beyond 50 yards.  Inside of 50 yards, he's one of the top kickers in the league.

Not to mention the fact they both had to be "wide right" after the clowns at NBC had to start off the game by showing the Norwood miss🤮🤢🤮

 

Also, when I read the thread title, I was picturing Jerry Seinfeld saying "What is the deal with Tyler Bass...."🙂

 

You mean like this? LMAOOOOO

 

Start at 1:54... WHAT'S THE DEAL WITH THE BLACK BOX? Dana Carvey NAILED Jerry! Seinfeld says after, "I know!!! I mean, THAT'S RIGHT!"

Donno but he better figure that ***** out because I'm a Bass Man and I like my Bass hittin.

[Dr.Sack]

Bass is kicker 30 out of 36. Regressing fast. He’s 27 next season and not getting any younger. Some smaller guys like Bass fall apart fast. And the leg goes it’s gone. I would say it’s time to find the Kick God in 2024.
