Same for every FG kicker league wide, 

[That's No Moon]

he still terrifies me and he always will. Ask Eagle fans how they feel about Jake Elliott. Or Washington fans about the kicker they probably cant name.

Kickers are like fish. They are good until they aren't and once they are bad they are very bad and need to be thrown away.

[NoSaint]

Still very low on special teams and a week without catastrophe won’t change that

[Flip Johnson]

The 51yd FG was massive. The Bills probably don't win without that kick.

I'll be honest if he needs a game winning kick in either the AFC title game or the Super Bowl, I'm probably going to close my eyes and just listen first before I commit to watching it.

[BillsFooteball]

I closed my eyes for every single one but he was perfect (so I was told 😆)

[Draconator]

I'm always nervous for a Bass kick, and when he makes it, I always say "Thank you, Tyler". 

[Orlando Buffalo]

I covered my eyes on the 51 yarder. I think that says it all. I love him but damn he is flawed

I'm old. I'm a wimp. I bundle up to go out to turn the outside lights off at my house.

Bass was absolute money tonight. Made them short, made them long in cold weather. And they were straight and centered.  My confidence level has definitely risen.

I thought he was going to miss the last one.

He didn’t 

I was happy.

I still am nowhere near fully trusting him.

You were more confident with the 51 yard attempt than the 21 yard attempt?

[DapperCam]

I'm just glad he's making kicks again. The 51 yarder was huge. Very clutch kick.

wish I could tell you, but my family and I leave the room for every Bass kick. 

 

My confession is that on his last kick I opened the ESPN gamecast, which is always like 30 seconds ahead of the broadcast, so I could see the result before watching it.

That's why they call him Bass

No

I’m never confident when he steps up to kick it.

He has earned that lack of trust. As with anyone, if you break trust with me  you will never 100% get it back. 

[Buffalo_Stampede]

This thread is definitely a jinx by the way.

[billsfan89]

The 51 yarder was huge, kicking can singlehandedly lose you a game or win you a game. Bass made his kicks that's literally all you can ask someone to do as a kicker. My confidence level is pretty high, its remained fairly high since the 60+ yard kick against the Fins.

How is everyone feeling about Tyler now?  I think he's back to being a weapon.  His kicks today in the weather looked confident and crisp.

He had a perfect game. 

His FG % is what it is.

Time will tell.

He's missed 3 FG's since the end of September,  and made some huge, clutch kicks. Kickers always make us nervous,  but he's been solid for the last 4 months.
