Toyo321 Posted January 11, 2022 Share Posted January 11, 2022 I really believe that it is going to a bad night to kick field goals if it's going to be almost 0🌡️ out, with possible 10mph winds. I think this will be a major factor into calls on 4th down and the field position too, especially when a long field goal might be very tough to come by in this game. I really think we will see more going for it on 4th down if the field goal distance 50yds or more. Anyway to keep Haack off the field, the better!! Personally hope that we put up 7 on every drive but that is only wishful thinking. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He can shank a 20 yarder and pin them deep! 1 14 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
msw2112 Posted January 11, 2022 Share Posted January 11, 2022 The ball is like a rock when it is really cold. More difficult to throw, catch, hold onto, snap and kick. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Low temperatures = low humidity = less resistance on the ball while in the air. 10mph winds for the Bass-o-matic is not that much. 2 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

reddogblitz Posted January 11, 2022 Share Posted January 11, 2022 (edited) I think with Money on the sidelines, anytime we get inside the 35 and its 4th down, send him in. Take the points. And I don't think cold and 10 MPH winds will affect him. Edited January 11, 2022 by reddogblitz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steptide Posted January 11, 2022 Share Posted January 11, 2022 (edited) I'm no physicist, but the football should theoretically lose air in such cold weather which would make it easier to catch. The issue is when it's that cold, the air is so dry and that makes the ball more slippery.

FilthyBeast Posted January 11, 2022 Share Posted January 11, 2022 I just get the feeling that at some point in the postseason Bass is going to be called upon to deliver on a critical FG to either win or tie a game late. So for all the hype of him being a great young kicker in this league it may come full circle as soon as this weekend. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No of course not, but I would hate to see him miss a critical FG this early in his career that prevents this team from advancing in the playoffs. Hopefully that scenario doesn't happen though.

We could probably pin them deep at like their own…21 yards line if he really gets ahold of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BananaB Posted January 11, 2022 Share Posted January 11, 2022 Expect the Pats to be going for it on 4th down. Seems like they have multiple times on every drive they scored on us this year except the big run. They have been pretty successful too.
