Should the Bills trust that Tyler Bass will return to form?

[DuckyBoys]

how often you see a kicker go full Finkle and come back?

[TBBills Fan]

I trust my 4th ex wife more than I trust Bass returning to form

[Nelius]

He even removed the eye black. You know Tyler is going through some things but we just don’t have time for it. He’ll find something.

45+ kicks are not guaranteed things

Are you sure?

Watching other NFL teams it seems like 50 yard kicks are the new 40.

Opposite. We’d have $7 mil dead cap

McManus would at least be a lateral move. It’s the only move that makes sense. He’s at 79% the last 2 years kicking in FG friendly Denver and Florida.

I think tonight was finally the last straw. The guy never should have gotten another kick after the KC playoff loss. He got an entire offseason of underwhelming excuse filled performances and 5 ***** games. Gtfo here. I think tomorrow he’s either IR or cut

That was before the season. Now it’s pretty much a wash but that doesn’t account for a new kicker.

[Boatdrinks]

Ehh, no.

[Buffalo_Stampede]

Tyler Bass will be kicking for Green Bay a week after being released.

He removed it tonight?   He had wore the eye black under one eye as attribute to his grandmother.

If you’re an NFL kicker and can’t chip and XP out of reach that’s an issue

True.  He has too many push kicks that don't get enough elevation.

Yes but $4.3M this year and $3M next year.  His current cap hit is $4.4M.  Technically a cut saves 100k this season.

I 100% put this on McBeane.

 

They refused to have a legit kicking competition in camp and decided to lie to themselves and pretend everything was going to be fine. 

 

Them actually moving on from Bass then would make Beane look like he has egg on his face because of the early extension, so now we're in the situation we are in with a kicker you even need to worry about with XPs.

He's done. There's no confidence left. Will have to eat the remainder of his iresponsible extension and draft another kicker.

Yeah was completely gone, first time I noticed 

[Dr.Sack]

Bass can only make kicks under 40 yards 75%. 40+ is a 4th and go. 

[Alphadawg7]

The only thing that is consistent about Bass is how much stress he causes every time he kicks

[Gunsgoodtime]

Nope.  I quoted earlier during game I couldn't watch him try to make a 35 yd extra point
