GASabresIUFan Posted January 16 Posted January 16 By the way, Bass’ deadcap for 2024 is 7.38 mill vs a salary of 4.42. He will be returning next season. Quote

Yeah this is where @GunnerBill is wrong. You have to let your players do their jobs. Anyone who thinks that was going to be a tough kick is wrong. It was routine for an NFL kicker. I was there as I have been for hundreds of Bills games. No wind to speak of. At halftime the kickers weren't struggling with practice kicks. Bass is just in a funk. They gotta' get him out of it and not letting him kick routine field goals isn't going to do that. 1 1 Quote
Buffalo_Stampede Posted January 16 Posted January 16 Pretty much every kicker has a down year. Until he misses a kick to win or lose the game let’s relax. 1 Quote
NoHuddleKelly12 Posted January 16 Posted January 16 It would be, dare I say, “Billsy” if we get to a spot deep in the playoffs and are forced to make a kick to tie or win with his current run of less than stellar performances. Hopefully he pulls it all together, and soon! 1 Quote
transient Posted January 16 Posted January 16 The title asks if we have a kicking problem... the post asks if we can trust him... all these one-word yes and no responses... I'm so confused. 😨 Quote
QLBillsFan Posted January 17 Posted January 17 Certainly concerned as it relates to facing KC and potentially the Ravens in the next 2 weeks. Both with outstanding and clutch kickers. The blocked kick was about 5 feet off the ground.. the chip shot ?🤷🏻♂️.. yikes. KC ST unfortunately a big advantage this week given Martins hammy as well. Quote
Xwnyer Posted January 17 Posted January 17 Martin had sucked most of year until last few weeks. bass has been inconsistent maybe an underlying minor injury . Hope this does not become an issue down the roads but just go for it on fourth and never try a FG. I think the FG attempt in first half near end was a mistake Quote
EasternOHBillsFan Posted January 17 Posted January 17 (edited) From those who remember the Norwood years, Norwood did this same thing in his last 2 seasons... he declined and fell off a cliff stat wise. So I guess we just wait until Bass has a Norwood moment? 😕 6 hours ago, KOKBILLS said: Yes... Yes we do... We have had many solid kickers who dealt with poor conditions, but it's pretty damn concerning. Edited January 17 by EasternOHBillsFan Quote

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? We may Quote

Some people were buying the narrative that you couldn't kick in that direction. Not that night. After being at around 300 Bills home games I have a pretty good idea when you can't kick that way. Bass just over kicked the one's he missed in the event of a gust. It wasn't necessary. I wouldn't have had a problem with them going for it either. But punting? GTFOH with that nonsense. 😂 Only thing you can't do there is get it blocked. 1 Quote
Freak-O Posted January 22 Posted January 22 We do have a kicker problem. We also have injury problems and maybe worst of all, lubricated receiver hands problem. And a missing Diggs problem. This was painful. 1 Quote
saundena Posted January 22 Posted January 22 Diggs, Martin and Bass were awful. I liked some of the gutsy calls by McD I don't know of Bass is fixable Quote
ILBillsfan Posted January 22 Posted January 22 Bass has always been bad from the right hash he has had plenty of years to keep working on it and still fails on right side of the field... I don't have the stats but I would be the majority of the misses have been from the right side Quote
Negan Posted January 22 Posted January 22 Bass should be cut, other kickers make these kicks all the time. He's a bum. Quote
NoSaint Posted January 22 Posted January 22 Special teams decisions -both personnel and the fake- did not work today 1 Quote
