Carucci Take 2: Bills might not have No. 2 QB yet … and may be looking for a kicker?
1. One of the larger questions facing the Bills as they put the preseason behind them is the state of their backup quarterback situation.
It isn’t good.
Of course, if anyone other than Josh Allen sees any extensive playing time behind center, the Bills are in serious trouble. That said, it’s fair to wonder whether the Bills have a legitimate No. 2 QB on their roster.
2. It’s beginning to look like Tyler Bass might be kicking his way off the roster.
After a rough week in practice, Bass was wide right from 51 yards Saturday. McDermott did not hide his displeasure over the miss.
“Yeah, yeah,” McDermott said. “You know, those are ones he’s got to make. He knows that. It looked like it faded a little bit to the right there.
“So, that’s a kick he’s going to practice a million times, I know, this week. And that’s one we’ve got to have.”
The Bills truly had to have that 44-yard attempt he also sent wide right in last January’s 27-24 divisional-round playoff loss against Kansas City. Bass has carried the weight of that gaffe into the season, and one has to wonder whether it has become too much for him?
