He also just missed a 20-some yard field goal. Can we trust him to make a game winning Playoff/Super Bowl kick at this point? He also made a 40 some yarder Quote
dhgold Posted January 16 Posted January 16 I feel Bass has been erratic all season. In game one (Jets) his game tying FG was a lucky doink and it's been downhill since then. I don't know how he was AFC special teams of the month in September. Trying to find a positive slant: a month ago I felt similarly but worse about Martin but he suddenly became an effective punter. Hoping against hope that Bass can turn it around. A bigger issue IMO is that the CBs and LBs the Bills played for most of the game are from way down the depth chart. And Mahome's is coming to town in five days. Quote

Bass has been an average at best kicker even before this year by fg percentage. This season he has been dreadful. I have ZERO confidence in him at this point. The whole Bass o matic thing was stupid from the get go. Edited January 16 by buffblue Quote

Just in Atlanta Posted January 16 Posted January 16 Bass has lost it. Needs a sports shrink fast. I think we need to bring in a kicker stat. Quote
thenorthremembers Posted January 16 Posted January 16 He was 33% tonight and had one blocked. Yes, we have a kicker problem. Quote
Green Lightning Posted January 16 Posted January 16 He needs serious competition next TC. STs pretty awful this year. 2 Quote

JohnNord Posted January 16 Posted January 16 (edited) IDK… Romo was saying the side of the field where Bass kicked in the 2nd Q was windy and the kickers were struggling to connect from 40+. The block was likely his attempt to over correct and drive the ball lower so it didn’t get caught in the wind. I don’t put that entirely on him. It probably wasn’t an attempt he should’ve tried. But the missed chip shot defies logic. He was not ever close. When this happens you tend to worry about the mindset of kickers. I’ll say this though - when we’ve needed him, he’s been money Edited January 16 by JohnNord Quote
wjag Posted January 16 Posted January 16 Bass is clearly broke. We hold our breath on every extra point. He kicks THE UGLIEST extra points. 1 Quote

This is the answer from Bills fans as to why any player struggles - Josh, Diggs, Bass etc. If they aren’t on the injury report, they probably don’t have a significant injury Quote
buffaloboyinATL Posted January 16 Posted January 16 That definitely did not instill confidence. Quote

ALLEN1QB Posted January 16 Posted January 16 Is it me or do the Bills always run to the right and make the kicker kick from an angle instead of centering him? Quote
schoolhouserock Posted January 16 Posted January 16 This year has been the first year I’ve had any concerns. There have been threads about it - wondering if he has a lingering injury. Something is going on with him. Quote
Coach Tuesday Posted January 16 Posted January 16 We have a ST coordinator problem for sure. Again. Bass has this weird hook thing, left to right instead of the normal right to left slice. Like my one buddy’s tee shot. You think it’s going left and then it drifts back just in time. But it’s gotten weirder this year and he’s missing some. Seems to need to rebuild his whole approach but I don’t trust Smiley to get that corrected. 1 Quote
