Dr.Sack Posted September 8 Share Posted September 8 (edited) Yes. The same reason we drafted Allen. Power. Either you can throw & kick the crap out of the ball, or you are weak and the wind owns you. Good kickers can manage the wind like a good QB can. This is the NFL. No excuses. Edited September 8 by Dr.Sack Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not scapegoating when his missed kicks equal losses. That's called accountability. Foreign, I know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Billsatlastin2018 Posted September 8 Share Posted September 8 (edited) Bass has a critical job in BUFFALO! On the playing field chosen by management. In the Weather conditions chosen by God & the Weather Channel. You are what you are, no matter what the conditions or time of year. Perform at a high level… or begone!

GolfandBills Posted September 8 Share Posted September 8 Lots of kickers in northern climate had 90% + last season. Zero excuses for Bass 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoMAn Posted September 8 Share Posted September 8 I would say the best way to gauge Bass on any particular Sunday would be to measure his performance against the opposing kicker who is playing in identical conditions. if the other team’s guy is splitting the uprights, but Bass is shanking them, on the field and in conditions he should be more familiar with….well, draw your own conclusions.

Mr. WEO Posted September 8 Share Posted September 8 Why would westerly winds matter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuffaloBillyG Posted September 8 Share Posted September 8 15 hours ago, DeepPass said: For the Cardinal game it will be 64 degrees and sunny. Great Fall day. But, winds will be 20-25 mph from the West. We all know how our stadium handles wind. I'm hoping the game doesn't come down to FG's. Oh, he will be judged. Especially if he struggles while Arizona's kicker doesn't. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frostbitmic Posted September 8 Share Posted September 8 On one end of the field Bass will be wide right, on the other end the wind should push the ball back between the posts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
