Keep an eye on Spencer Sharader, the Chiefs kicker, in the next few weeks.

[Beast]

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.

There are other playoff teams with a far worse kicking situation and a higher waiver priority.

well we have 1.3 million left in salary cap room

If we cut Tyler Bass then the dead cap is $7.38 million

Do the math. We ain't doing squat. Its Bass till the end and ther is NOTHING WE CAN DO ABOUT THIS.

Here is Bass's salary cap reality if we cut him next year

[What a Tuel]

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.

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.

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.

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.

Shrader kicked some of the best looking extra points I've seen all season 😄
