Yesterday, after watching the block and the shank, and then also thinking back to the misses vs the Giants and Eagles earlier in the season, my knee jerk reaction was that Bass seriously needed to be replaced, maybe as soon as this week. But, for the most part, this is another case where perception does not equal reality; at least as far as how his performance this season stacks up against his historical averages. He's having a slightly down year, but if you look at his percentages they are not far off his career averages. And this season is actually tied with his best on 50+ yard attempts (4/6). One thing bringing his overall FG% down is the lack of attempts from 20-29 yards, which is really due to us being such a superb red zone team. In 2021, his career year at 87%, he hit 15/15 inside 30 yards. This year he's only attempted four field goals in this range (4/4). https://www.pro-football-reference.com/players/B/BassTy00.htm Still, yes, he does "look" shakier, but maybe that's a bit of projection on our part due to recency bias.

Allen Cook Kincaid Shakir Klein And Dorian Williams was solid when forced into action.

Obviously, yes!!! WTH happened to the kid? He used to have a strong reliable leg. Now he looks completely washed up. And he's only 26.

He can kick too

That's his 2023 highlight video

Not sure I'm there yet, but I'm getting close. I do not trust him at all at this point. His fall has been fast and hard. Is he injured?

Bass is very CONCERNING

In his defense, we are running A LOT of backups out there.

The context of running with legs

Andre Reed....I mean Khalil Shakir

Hopefully, a big confidence booster for Bass.

Floyd's out? I missed that one.

Desperately need a stop here

Broken leg

Can Von punt?

Tomlin big mistake there

Huge play by Groot!!!

Agree. Tough call but I think they got it right.

What a dud of a drive. Blah.

Time to put Pittsburgh to bed.

Thoughts on WC weekend: Tua and Dak are the frauds we thought they were. The future is now for Houston and Green Bay

Tua is a truly mediocre product of the system. There is nothing special about him at all. They need to move on from him.

Oh my. Cleveland line is a sieve!

Yep. They remind me of Cincy when they made their run to the Super Bowl. Like they don't realize how hard it is supposed to be.

Well, time to enjoy a big slice of Flacco pie.
