Cut Bass already

[Warcodered]

He's been shaky all season, but a kick like that feels like the kind of thing that might be able to get him to shake his yips.

Could be a real turning point…it was always just in his head.

This post has aged so well.  As a die-hard Bass fan, I'm loving it.  I'm sure the haterz will be back on the next meaningless miss.

was 61 yd kick bruh. It sort of does 

In the same way we look for our own pga tour card after every big drive or putt…

 

he’s got to do it week in and week out. It’s a start.

the other half will be the unit too - bad hold today, a tipped kick or two…. 
 

it is a big moment. Hopefully a turning point but by itself, it’s still a high risk bunch.

He's like me when I putt. I have a better chance of making 10 footers more than I do with 3 footers. And I'm not very good at 10 footers 😅

Rasoul eased up

Best post pre game winner

With the game being tied, I hope it doesnt come down to Bass needing to make a kick.

This aged well 😁

 

Although I thought the same thing

That’s what I’m thinking.. I think Bass exorcised some demons with that kick.

If the guy can kick what would have been good from 70 into the wind, maybe he just needs to take a little off it, like DeChambeau in ‘24.

Forgive me, but a "meaningless miss" by a kicker is INCREDIBLY rare. There's a reason the good ones need to be well over 80%.

 

Loved the FG kicking today. Hated the PATs.

 

I absolutely think Bass gave himself a longer leash. But Beane and McDermott already proved they're thinking about the kicking game with the kickers they've brought in.

It might've helped that it wasn't a kick he "should" make.  Takes a little bit of pressure off.  I was happy for him but will still hold my breath every time he kicks.

I’ve probably been one of Tyler’s biggest critics. Not only did Bass come up clutch, but he did it at record distance going into the sw end zone. He crushed that kick, great form technique & the ball just exploded off his foot. Finally stopped aiming it and focused more on power. Kudos to Bass.

Not sure there’s a better option before the off season.

There isn't, you don't have a better option, is he consistent no, do you keep your eyes open, sure, address it in the offseason, damn right.

 

But you're not fixing that midseason, also not for nothing but it feels like it's been a down year for kickers in general.

From 24 yards Bass had a rough angle, the TV cam made it look more difficult than it actually was. Bass had nothing to account for outside of putting it dead center. He seemed to not account for him being on the right hash. He’s pulled a few left and 24 yards all he needed to do was aim it, instead of trying to kill it. Normally I’d say the opposite but he simply hit it straight line which meant it was going wide.
