HalftimeAdjustment Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 6 minutes ago, Matt_In_NH said: You should check out the dead cap situation. So after June 1 he should be cut and replaced with an average kicker. Just because cutting him causes dead cap, does not mean that we can afford to have a roster spot taken up by a kicker who can't kick. I'm assuming he's not injured, if he is hurt then try him out again next year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freak-O Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 I don’t get it. Bass used to be really good and he’s what? 24-25? How did this happen? Hopefully he can bounce back. If he at least would have kicked it wide left… Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Best Williams Available Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 Routine catches the downfield throws are for most WRs except ours. I’m fine with changing the plan because they were open and Josh hit ‘em, the receivers blew it. And, Bass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillsFan130 Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 Just now, KDIGGZ said: I'm not saying we don't need a kicker that can make that but he is what he is. He's a bottom of the barrel kicker. Knowing that, we needed to be smarter and put the game on Josh's shoulders. Designed runs if Cook isn't working or throws underneath The problem is he isn't getting paid like one. Hes one of the top paid kickers in the league. What would you have done there though, go for it on 4th and 9? You have to take the points and bass has to make the kick to give your team a chance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freddie's Dead Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 Bass is either injured or has a technique issue. We may never know. If the Bills have a new kicker next year, then there's your answer. I don't know how Bass goes from one of the best to one of the worst in less than a season without an injury of some kind. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would have started with QB run/option, throw underneath to Diggs (maybe that was the play and Josh played hero ball), then throw to Kincaid over the middle when I saw how open the middle was. Maybe it's 4th and 1 at that point and yes we go for it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChronicAndKnuckles Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 25 minutes ago, Mafioso said: Regardless, we would have gotten dump trucked by the Ravens next week. Team is super unhealthy at the worst possible time Idk about that. Bills offense was going punch for punch with KC. Sadly our kicker choked wide right on a very makeable FG. Bernard and Davis would’ve likely been back for the Ravens. This was the year. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billieve420 Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 Bass missing was probably only going to delay the inevitable and that was Mahomes driving down the field for winning FG. So I am not going to kill him when there is plenty of blame to go around. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TC in St. Louis Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 We had the ball with 2 minutes and 2 timeouts. We should've run a couple short plays to try and get a first down....at least run the clock down....and at worst Bass would have had an easier kick. We had the game in our hands, and threw it away. I don't blame Bass, but I think he should've made the kick. Like another guy said, if he tied up the game, Mahomes and co. had at least 90 seconds and 2 time outs to get in field goal range. Look what they did with 13 seconds. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ed_Formerly_of_Roch Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 Diggs and Bass must have started smoking the same thing about mid way through the season as that was about when they both went to hell. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it was 4th and short I am going for the W there instead of tying it up. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob in STL Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 16 minutes ago, Coach Tuesday said: Bass is a mental patient. As a sympathetic human, I don’t “blame” him for looking shell shocked like he just came back from the front lines at Verdun. But as a longtime fan of this team - Bass can go get f’d. Booth Lustig, a kicker from the 60’s, got his ass kicked after a game, outside the rock pile, by Bills fans when he missed a big kick. Paul McGuire tells the story.

PauleeeWalnuts Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 He gets paid to make kicks, he failed. It’s partly on him because who knows what happens after they tie that score. Another unacceptable choke job by all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mango Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 When I look at the fame at a 1000 foot view it came down to some bunch of major individual mishaps like Klein in coverage, Diggs drops, defensive 4th stringers not holding up. But Bass is also one of those individual gaffes. And given his tenure I expect him to make a 44 yarder. At least give those guys on defense a chance. It isn’t right to blame Bass. But it’s not right to look over him either. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
