I said earlier in the year that he was developing into a clutch kicker before our eyes. I took a lot of crap for it. It's nice to be right for a change. Well done Tyler Bass!!! That kick would have been good from 60+ yards. On a cold day to boot! (Pun intended) He really has been a find. Beane does it again. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As mentioned above...not anymore. We all thank him for what he did for the team but it was clear it was time to move on. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now we are Kickin Bass Man that would have been stretching his max even prior to the Jets kick. It would have been close. I think we can all agree we upgraded though. Nice to have a young bear automatic kicker hopefully locked down for the long, long term now ala Justin Tucker. He has all the tools to get to that level.

I didn't realize this until watching the highlights, but it was Bass who made a crucial tackle on special teams. When the Colts had that long return and their guy hurdled Matakevich, then tried to hurdle a second player. That was Bass, and he took him down hard. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chandler#81 Posted January 11, 2021 Share Posted January 11, 2021 As one of our fan resident team historians, we may be witnessing the 2nd coming of Pete Gogalak with Bass. No, Tyler isn’t a Hungarian refugee who’ll revolutionize the sport, but his immediate impact on a playoff team is certainly noteworthy. John Leypold and the Steve’s -Christie & Hauschka had immediate impact and we could honorably mention USFL castoff Scott Norwood. But none were as deadly this early as we’ve witnessed so far with Bass. 60 yard FGs are now -and for the 1st time ever, a THING! The only KO’s that don’t land on Chippewa Street are planned to force opponents to try and return to keep them further back from the 25 yard line. Is it too much to ask that he have a great decade+ with us, along with all our other young studs?? (word of caution -watch out for the Giants to try and steal him! -Bastards!) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His big knock coming out of college was inconsistency / inaccuracy. His Kicking percentage in 2019 was 71%, which is at least 10% lower than what you'd want to see from a kicker.

NewEra Posted January 12, 2021 Share Posted January 12, 2021 Just noticed that the Colts final Hail Mary attempt was hiked from our 47. That’s a 65 yard fg. if we were in this position, I would hope that McDermott gives Bass a shot from 65. I’d really like to see Allen uncork the Hail Mary, but I think there’s a better chance that Bass connect from 65 What would you guys do? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Success Posted January 12, 2021 Share Posted January 12, 2021 I loved how stoked he was after that kick. In general, it's great to have a kicker that is also a football player & competitor, and not just a "specialist." I feel like he's one of those guys. As someone else noted, he made a great tackle at another point in the game. He also looked laser-focused when he was lining up that kick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder if they gave the Cheaters the same grade, considering they took one a round earlier? Just now, DaBillsFanSince1973 said: Bass very well could/can be the Scotty Norwood that wont miss in crucial game moments. not to knock Scotty as it shouldn't of come down to that kick, 49 yards on grass with the pressure on him big time but a wide right miss that lost the first of four sb appearances. no, I believe in that situation, Bass makes that kick and the bills win the first of four rather then lose because the kicker could not kick well on grass, especially when the game was on the line. another gem of a pick from the Beane master, for sure. Like with Bass earlier in the season, that miss was also on the snapper/holder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
