SoMAn Posted Wednesday at 03:03 PM Share Posted Wednesday at 03:03 PM It's not at all practical to entertain the idea of cutting Bass. As previously stated, there's nobody out there on the street as good or better. So, how on earth would it make sense to sign a less competent kicker and incur additional cost? It doesn't. The real issue that I haven't seen anyone address so far, is what is the cause of the drop off from Bass-O-Matic to a guy with whom we have no confidence he can nail a kick past 40 yards, in a league in which 50+ has become a gimme for a lot of kickers. What changed and is it fixable? Mental, physical, or both? That's where I'd be focusing my attention; try to fix what's broken rather than throwing the baby out with the bathwater. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have you watched some of these backup kickers lately in other games? They have been as bad if not worse. Joseph comes to mind in the Giants game Plenty that wont kick the extra point attempt towards the corner of the endzone. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Livinginthepast Posted Wednesday at 04:09 PM Share Posted Wednesday at 04:09 PM There are gurus in the NFL who are brought in for QBs, coaches, etc. Are there no kicking specialists that can analyze Bass' mechanics and see what the problem is?

Process Posted Wednesday at 04:19 PM Share Posted Wednesday at 04:19 PM When is the earliest we can cut and replace him without doing too much damage cap wise? After 2025? Not saying we should keep him for cap reasons, just curious. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will cost 7.3 million in Dead Cap that we already don't have plus paying his replacement on top of that. People really should understand where the Bills are against the cap and the ramifications before posting wild ideas about cutting everyone and trading for everyone. Jesus H. How are we on the hook for $7.3MM for a below average kicker? Yikes. Don’t know that so thanks for the info. It just seems there’s 10 teams out there that don’t blink at a 55 yarder but we all hold our breath on anything 40+. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Imagine that miss at 50 yards. he has 2 or 3 extra point misses this year already? Come on man. I dont know who is out there but there has to be better.

There has to be a reason and we have not heard it. I would like to know if it's confidence or mechanics. Its both. Dude is so out of it i bet if he was honest would say- it's everything and nothing, I dont have anything consistent to adjust from. What way is up? It's 100% his head. I'm 100% in the ir him camp. Figure it out next year and proli cut him 2 hours ago, Saxum said: Absolutely golf is not comparable to kicking in football - no one rushes the golfer. Blocking is different - teams rush kickers sometimes hitting kickers as which happened to Bass before his issue started. He's talking the mental aspects and over thinking. I 100% get it. Sometimes you get to where you're thinking too much Your best bet becomes, think about nothing and just swing. At least get back to a baseline. He's trying to deal with like 4 moving pieces at once. He needs a "control group" to adjust from. And its gone. 2 hours ago, ALLinALLEN said: It's actually extremely comparable to golfing, especially at the PGA Tour level. Pro's can go from T10 in driving accuracy and win a bunch of tourneys, to bottom 50 (on tour) in a season. At the slightest lack of performance (maybe you have one bad tourney all of a sudden, then 2, 3 in a row...etc) you start to tweak your swing, or your setup, or the clubs....then it all compiles into an unrecognizable form that got you there. Kicking is not simply kicking either, I think that's a bizarre take. In that case, "running routes is just running and why cant our guys get open! they have all their life!" LOOK AT TIGER!

T master Posted Wednesday at 05:49 PM Share Posted Wednesday at 05:49 PM I think those thoughts are on the radar of the front office or at least being discussed because ever since he got married he's not been the same guy he was, to miss that first kick as bad as he did knowing that that is your only job is not good !! They need to sit him down and tell him to get his S**T together ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheyCallMeAndy Posted Wednesday at 06:04 PM Share Posted Wednesday at 06:04 PM You know what is absolutely crazy? Tyler Bass has the 4th most attempts and makes in team history. He has the 5th most attempts in team history from 50+ Tyler Bass has the 2nd highest FG percentage of any kicker in team history with more than 50 attempts. Bass also is two 50+ FGs away from having the most in team history. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not to diminish these numbers, he clearly has been "fine-if-not-very-good" in his career, however playing on the team that has the QB with the most TDs in his first seven years in NFL history def helps.
