Maybe somebody with a lot of time on their hands could dig up the statistics on his kicks when Martin was not the holder? Tyler was so good it really is a shame. It's not the holder It's the kicker 1 Quote

Inexcusable they haven't at least brought in some decent competition. it's crazy. He was so good before last year. A top kicker imo That type of fall off is rare Edited June 13 by JerseyBills 1 Quote

A top kicker imo That type of fall off is rare He's never been in the top five or seven... When all you have is one job... Put Football through uprights... That's all you could judge him by He certainly was ascending before he fell off a cliff... But he's always had a natural fade... Right to left motion... Which is why he kicks pats from the left hash That's not normal for most kickers and not a consistent thing to repeat I had zero faith when I saw him on the right hash mark in the playoffs versus the Chiefs with the game on the line Edited June 13 by Buffalo716 1 Quote

NickelCity Posted June 13 Posted June 13 Well that is unwelcome news. I do not relish a season of bad kicking and waiver wire kickers. 2 Quote
Warcodered Posted June 13 Posted June 13 1 hour ago, Buffalo716 said: It's not the holder It's the kicker Nuh uh is always such a great and well thought out response. Could it just be Bass, sure, but it's not wrong to point out that in OTAs he had a real consistent showing with a different holder then with the same holder he had last season he was more inconsistent. And the holder does matter, inconsistency there leads to it in the kicks. 1 Quote

Rampant Buffalo Posted June 13 Posted June 13 5 hours ago, TheyCallMeAndy said: He was 9-9 halfway through the season. Yeah, well, you always want to cut a player before his slump, rather than after. That way you don't have to put up with someone's bad play. How were the Bills supposed to predict his slump? I, ah, well, I'll have to get back to you on that. Quote
Gregg Posted June 13 Posted June 13 Bills will bring in other kickers for a competition. He continues to struggle then he will be kicking somewhere else. Quote
Buffalo_Stampede Posted June 13 Posted June 13 I don’t think changing kickers would be smart. Work with him, get him right. He’s a talented kicker. Almost every kicker has down stretches, other than guys like Justin Tucker. Quote

There wasn't a doubt in my mind he would miss that kick by a mile Quote
muppy Posted June 13 Posted June 13 is a regression of his ability to kick accurately solely a mental issue? Or he somehow isn't following correct form and he misses? I mean I know he doesn't line up and intend to miss. Can he look at his previous kicking history and some Special teams guru help him? Perfection as a kicker is impossible but where he once was good enough may he not revert back? Somehow? *shrugs* Quote
finn Posted June 13 Posted June 13 9 hours ago, TheyCallMeAndy said: He was 9-9 halfway through the season. I vaguely recall McDermott surprisingly not calling on Bass to kick a 50+ yarder late in a game that might have been at midseason. I thought at the time that decision was going to mess with Bass' confidence. Can anyone with a better memory confirm or refute? I'm eager to blame McDermott. 😁 Quote
Buffalo03 Posted June 13 Posted June 13 I think this guy is going through something. His first couple years he seemed spot on. Now he has become completely unreliable. It's strange Quote
Ridgewaycynic2013 Posted June 13 Posted June 13 Give the holder a tee, like K.C. allegedly used? 🤔 Quote
