No leg any more.  Great kicker while he was here though. 

 

 

Thank god I never have to hear Murphy say "Hausch money" again  

 

Now we can hear "Trophy Bass" over and over.

Everyone saying this is really missing the point.  Yes, Hauschka made clutch FGs against Houston, but he was also the reason they couldn't try a 54-yarder earlier in the 4th quarter.  The Bills used a 6th round draft pick on Bass!  That's not a throwaway pick.  The writing was on the wall, and the only way Hauschka was going to keep this job is if he was lights out and the kid looked out of place.  Neither happened.  Bass was every bit as good as Hauschka in camp, was better in the stadium conditions, and has a huge leg.  Add the cap savings and this one, in hindsight, was relatively easy to predict.

I'm referring to the "other" 47 yarder missed in Bills history..... still WAAAAAAAYYYYY TTOOOOOOOOOO SOOOOOOONNN

Thanks Hausch!! At least you didn't let us down in the playoffs.

 

Good luck

Dude was clutch. Fading....but clutch. 

Bass will have an easier adjustment with no crowd noise. 

That is a very good point and most likely factored in the final decision.

Bills deciding to go with the younger guy...add in cap savings as well as he be  doing well in camp so far this move to me is no shock. Giving Hauschka enough time to catch on elsewhere is a classy move as has been stated.

 

Its officially time to Kick BASS Mr Bass welcome to the full time roster.  "The Golden Swing" may it be so.

Not to me it wasn't. If Bass misses kicks under 50 expect me to be back saying I told you so. 

yeah, but what do you know??

 

Way to hedge your bets. You are hereby not allowed to root for Bass..

Bass needs to work on becoming a little more consistent, but the Bills had to go with him because of his big leg.  A few decades ago, Buffalo drafted a promising place kicker.  He had a terrible training camp and the Bills got rid of him.  Gary Anderson went on to have a Hall of Fame career.  I'm glad the Bills took a chance on the kid.

Didn't Hauschka miss a PAT today? Pretty sure that's under 50.
