The Frankish Reich Posted Tuesday at 08:47 PM Share Posted Tuesday at 08:47 PM 4 hours ago, Brianmoorman4jesus said: It’s inexcusable to have him on the roster beyond yesterday. People thinking there’s nobody better. The guy absolutely sucks. He’s missed 2 kicks that were the 2 worst kicks I have ever seen a professional kick. It’s not sound logic to act like nobody can be better. Yes they absolutely can be. He’s not capable enough of kicking in the NFL right now and it’s going to cost us games. You can not rely on him. Flat out. That’s it. There’s no grey area. There’s no sensible argument to keep him. I have to agree. Main reason: I could look past the easy misses if he had a big 60 yard leg. He doesn't. At least get me the guy who has a chance of hitting from 58 if we're gonna have to live with missed PATs and 30 yarders. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s also cousins with AJ Epenesa. Looks to be about the same as Bass. So I don't know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BFLO Posted Tuesday at 09:16 PM Share Posted Tuesday at 09:16 PM (edited) To all of the people saying he's been fine... have you looked at the stats? Bass is in a 4 way tie for 28th-31st in FG% and he is 31st in XP%. None of the 4 guys he is tied with in FG% has missed an XP, so I'd say he loses that tie breaker. We have the 31st most accurate kicker. He's 2nd worst in the league. He is 2 for 5 from 40-49 yards Edited Tuesday at 09:17 PM by BFLO 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. WEO Posted Tuesday at 09:19 PM Share Posted Tuesday at 09:19 PM ahhhh...I remember when "Bass-o-Matic's" only barrier to the HOF in his rookie year was "his holder" guy's a bum... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

finn Posted Tuesday at 10:13 PM Share Posted Tuesday at 10:13 PM Given the cap hit for releasing him, I'd sign another kicker and assign a kicking guru to work with, someone who understands the psychology of kicking. If he regains his early form, he's an asset. Meanwhile, start scouting college kickers for next year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ProcessTruster Posted Tuesday at 10:23 PM Share Posted Tuesday at 10:23 PM not sure a kicker is going to make the difference this season. Bills need a lot of health and a bunch of breaks this year to get to the SB.. and they got more than a few last night it is going to be a dream season!!

Miyagi-Do Karate Posted Tuesday at 10:44 PM Share Posted Tuesday at 10:44 PM 3 hours ago, Sabres 2025 said: The Bills should bring in other kickers, but Orchard Park is not an easy place to kick. Are the Bills really going to find a better kicker than Bass? If a guy could kick he probably would be on some roster already. I actually think we are at the point where Bass is so far gone mentally that anyone else will do. I don’t mind getting a guy on the market who is inconsistent from 45+. But we got to have someone who can basically make automatic 40-yarders and PATs, and there are people out there who can. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You may be right, but Bass is not going anywhere. McDermott pretty much made that clear today. Let's hope he kicks the game winner in the Super Bowl and makes us all look stupid. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JimBob2232 Posted Tuesday at 10:55 PM Share Posted Tuesday at 10:55 PM Crazy kickers. Guarantee if he hits a couple big kicks and gets his confidence back he will be fine, 95% of kickers is between the ears. Unfortunately the longer it goes on, the harder it is to overcome. And we really cant wait for that. I wonder if the team has a sports psychologist. Im sure they do. But thats the best path out of this I fear...

Nope. Not at all. It was crazy windy on my way to the stadium, but it started to die around 7 and by kickoff, it was practically non-existent. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

frostbitmic Posted Tuesday at 11:08 PM Share Posted Tuesday at 11:08 PM You don't even have to cut him, just sign someone better at putting the ball through the uprights. You can still use Bass to kick off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eastport bills Posted Tuesday at 11:39 PM Share Posted Tuesday at 11:39 PM He’s going to kill us in a big spot. He’s got a crisis of confidence. He’s starting to duck hook kicks more often now. He’s gotta go. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
