Beast Posted November 18 Posted November 18 I am not going to re-hash Bass’s issues but, if they continue, keep an eye on what Sharader does with the Chiefs. It’s almost like the Bills can use Shrader’s performance as an audition and, if he does well, we have a safety net heading down the home stretch. 1 2 Quote

ddaryl Posted November 18 Posted November 18 (edited) https://www.spotrac.com/nfl/buffalo-bills/cap/_/year/2024 well we have 1.3 million left in salary cap room If we cut Tyler Bass then the dead cap is $7.38 million https://www.spotrac.com/nfl/player/_/id/47784/tyler-bass Do the math. We ain't doing squat. Its Bass till the end and ther is NOTHING WE CAN DO ABOUT THIS. Edited November 18 by ddaryl 1 Quote
ddaryl Posted November 18 Posted November 18 Here is Bass's salary cap reality if we cut him next year Quote
What a Tuel Posted November 18 Posted November 18 Since the Jets game Tyler Bass is 10/10 field goals and 15/17 for PATs and you guys still insist on cutting him for a mythical better kicker who won't miss anything. You guys are ruthless and reckless. 8 1 3 Quote

GunnerBill Posted November 18 Posted November 18 2 minutes ago, Coach Tuesday said: Plus the missed XP yesterday looked like a terrible snap (and it looked like he made it?)... Yep. When I watched the XP miss yesterday back that is absolutely not on the kicker. Funky snap and hold. I do think he missed it though. Whether Bass made that kick reminds me of that gold and white / blue and black dress image that went around a few years ago where some see the same image one colour and some see it the other. We all saw the same thing it looked like he missed to some or he made to others. 2 Quote

You guys are ruthless and reckless. Exactly. We haven't seen this UDFA kick a field goal yet but somehow folks were so impressed with their XPs that we need to have him on our watchlist. The cap reality is that Bass is here for the rest of the season. He's not the best kicker, but he's not had a Justin Tucker day like the Ravens just had. Honestly, Bass missing a single XP will rarely matter so long as the Bills are consistently hitting that 30 point threshold. 2 Quote

Evan McPherson (71.4%) CIN Justin Tucker (72.7%) BAL Younghoe Koo (73.1%) ATL Jake Elliott (73.7%) PHI Joshua Karty (80.0%) LAR 2 Division Leaders, 2 Division/Wild Card contenders and another Wild Card hopeful. Bass is also clicking at a better clip than Jake Moody, Josh Myers and Ka’imi Fairbarin. Edited November 18 by JGMcD2 1 2 Quote

Charles Romes Posted November 18 Posted November 18 Bass is what, 19/22 on the year with a 61 game winner into the wind that would have been good from 70. If he were declining due to diminishing leg strength like an old Hauschka or Tucker it would be one thing, but his short misses could be a matter of reining in the power, which is fixable. Next year, they could move the kickoff back and guys that can blast it out of the end zone may not be a dime a dozen. I fear if we let him out of the building we will be facing another Gary Anderson or Dustin Hopkins for years to come. 1 Quote

The dead cap is substantially less next year so that's the likely time to move on. Quote

Are you saying of Bass pulled a groin we wouldn’t be able to sign a kicker? Sorry I didn’t add caps like you did. Edited November 18 by Beast Quote
LabattBlue Posted November 18 Posted November 18 (edited) Is there any other kicker who lines up for XP’s at the left hash? What kind of mess is he mechanically when he doesn’t kick it from dead center between the hashes. Great that he made the 61 yarder two weeks ago, but he is a train wreck waiting to happen.

Dirt cheap unexperienced kicker that nobody else wants either, plus we have used up salary cap money leaving us witth less than we had back on that day We are not goiing into the playoffs with someone who is not clea>rly better, and we are not going to sign anyone that is at this point As for capital letters. I was emphasizing.... if that is a problem please put me on IGNORE!!! This is the guy we let go.. The Bills brass sees what is happening in practice and they let him go https://www.nfl.com/players/lucas-havrisik/stats/ Quote
