Special K Posted November 1, 2021 Share Posted November 1, 2021 Was that the longest FG ever made by any kicker (home or visiting team) in Buffalo?? I tried Googling it, but didn’t get anywhere, but I couldn’t remember any kick that long made in Buffalo. Not to mention the fact that the kick would have been good from 65 yards!!! Bass-O-Matic rules!!!!! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only 65? Judging from the view of the end zone cam behind the posts, probably would have been good from 70. I hope they let him unload on a couple record attempts late in the season when he already has his Pro Bowl status secured. Maybe on a "fair catch free kick", he could easily put one through on one of those. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charles Romes Posted November 1, 2021 Share Posted November 1, 2021 Norwood’s 44 yarder to clinch the ‘91 AFC championship game against the Broncos, which felt at least as long as 64 yards.

BearNorth Posted November 1, 2021 Share Posted November 1, 2021 I'm old enough to remember Pete Gogolak making a 57 yarder [one yard longer than the NFL record] in a preseason game, and that began the move to soccer style Kickers, think that was in 1964. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BearNorth Posted November 1, 2021 Share Posted November 1, 2021 Last successful "free kick field goal" [the official term] was Ray Wersching, San Diego vs. Buffalo, November 21, 1976. Good from 45 at the end of the first half. This kick put the Chargers up 27-10, and so is missing from most brief recaps of the game. This is the last known successful NFL free kick.

zow2 Posted November 2, 2021 Share Posted November 2, 2021 I thought it was interesting in post-game when Bass said his maximum distance in that direction was 59 yards,, (with wind?) and the other direction was 57 yards. Now i find that amazing since the 57 yard direction would have been against the wind, no? Maybe it was a pure cross wind on Sunday, I couldn't tell. But the dude has some ridiculous range. And he's young. The leg still might get stronger. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boater Posted November 2, 2021 Share Posted November 2, 2021 Think Bass could hit a 67 yarder? That's what it takes to break the NFL record set by Baltimore a couple weeks ago. I love watching video of the Baltimore kick "Doink" I think Bass could do it with the wind at his back, maybe even in a dome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wagon Circler Posted November 2, 2021 Share Posted November 2, 2021 (edited) I think Dan Carpenter had a 58-yarder. This would only be the 3rd longest in Bills history. Edited November 2, 2021 by Wagon Circler Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
