Andy1 Posted November 16, 2020 Share Posted November 16, 2020 Bass was a real bright spot in this game. What a weapon he can be to hit kicks at those ranges. And they weren’t even close on distance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was great today, and the Bills have shown we don’t have to get within the thirty to likely score points. That opens things up on second or third and long from the 35.

Doc Posted November 30, 2020 Share Posted November 30, 2020 As I said in the other thread, he's at 78%, or 81% if you believe his first kick wasn't a miss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SageAgainstTheMachine Posted November 30, 2020 Share Posted November 30, 2020 His kickoff today with the holder traveled about 85-90 yards in the air. I'm wondering exactly how long of a GWFG he'd be allowed to try. Those kicks in Arizona from 55+ were crossing the crossbar about 3/4 up the uprights too.

SCBills Posted November 30, 2020 Share Posted November 30, 2020 I also liked how he was pinning them with his kickoffs, but when needed just blasted it 10 yards out the back of the end zone. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

loyal2dagame Posted November 30, 2020 Share Posted November 30, 2020 Bass is money. This guy had some rookie jitters and seems to have got them out when it didn't hurt the team. Best part is we have him dirt cheap for 3 more years Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewEra Posted November 30, 2020 Share Posted November 30, 2020 Couldn’t be happier with this kid. Hopefully he can mentally keep it together when he hits the skids. It happens to most kickers. Long term success is determined by a kickers ability to leave the past in the past when things go south and trust their leg. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I saw it right that one hit the cross bar and went through haha which is insanely impressive. I don't think he could kick a field goal at the low of an angle with guys trying to block it but it makes you wonder what his range would be for a GWFG.

Royale with Cheese Posted November 30, 2020 Share Posted November 30, 2020 I am as confident in Bass at this point like I was with Haushka in 2017. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billsbackto81 Posted November 30, 2020 Share Posted November 30, 2020 Correct me if I'm wrong but wasn't he considered by many to be the best Place Kicker in the draft? Doesn't mean much I guess because so was Aguayo when he was drafted......IN THE 2ND RD!!!😵😵😵What a brain fart that was for Tampa Bay. Anyways, I have more confidence in Bass as a kicker than I do BOJO as a place holder. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miyagi-Do Karate Posted December 8, 2020 Share Posted December 8, 2020 Bass is oozing confidence. You can just tell. no doubts on his kicks and kickoffs. On those kickoffs too, when he intentionally kicks them shorter, you know it’s on purpose. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gonzo1105 Posted December 8, 2020 Share Posted December 8, 2020 I have noticed that they always set him up on the left hash if the team can help it. It’s obvious on extra points but the end of half drive, the Bills set him up on the left. The only time he was on the right hash was the 28 yarder and he barely snuck it through. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Magoo Posted December 9, 2020 Share Posted December 9, 2020 Quote 105 >> Tyler Bass' point total for the season is a new record for a Bills rookie or first-year player. With 10 points in the win over San Francisco on Monday night, Bass passed previous record holder Pete Gogolak, whose record of 102 points stood for 56 years. Bass' 100-point season is the first since Stephen Hauschka had 116 in 2017. I think he is progressing nicely Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyways, I have more confidence in Bass as a kicker than I do BOJO as a place holder. I know BOJO is the current whipping boy for some, but he's been solid and he had a nice 70 yard kick in his only opportunity on Monday. No problems with him holding either, obviously. Bass looks like a veteran out there each kick. I have 100% confidence in him now. What's more important is that I think he has 100% confidence in himself.
