Don't Blame Bass


KDIGGZ

Recommended Posts

Even if he made the kick, this game felt like the 2021 divisional where OT was going to end poorly.

 

Bass was just a part of the larger picture of mistakes in this game.  Allen should have taken what the defense was giving him all night, and the defense needed to make one or two stops in the first three quarters.  Any one of those could have won it.

I sure hope Bass was dealing with some undisclosed injury the second half of the season.....there is just no way he could go from Bass-o-matic to Bass-hole so quickly!!

Agree.  We needed to score a TD there.  I kinda put that on Allen.  He was trying to go for the TD on 2nd and 3rd down when he had under routes open they would’ve given us first downs


I know it’s in an other thread, but here you contradicted your statements.. the need for a touchdown and in your opinion, the correct play to check down. Just saying.

This is all true, and I agree. Did anyone think he would actually make it?

They need to cut Bass tomorrow. It's over for him. New kicker for sure. He's done.

 

Not going to happen.  The Bills are not in a position to take 7.5 million in dead cap hits and then have to pay another player to take his place.  Stop thinking Madden franchise mode is real.  It's not.  Please come back to reality where the Bills are already $40 million over the cap and will have to work some magic to get under it and sign some key players.  Adding more holes and dead cap isn't in the cards.

Nobody cares.

 

People who actually do this for a living, like Brandon Beane, instead of playing Madden franchise mode and thinking it's realistic care.

He's not the sole reason we lost, but dear lord he shoulders a chunk of the blame.  He makes it, at least Mahomes has to work for it.  One fluky play, a turnover, and it goes into OT.  There is *no* excuse for that miss.  None.

Nobody should be blaming our bad kicker for being bad. Blame the coaches for putting him in that position knowing that he is bad. He was statistically one of the worst kickers in the entire league this year. The result was inevitable.

 

There's absolutely no reason why the offense went off their game plan instead of slowly and methodically continuing to march down the field and run the clock. For some reason they started launching impossible throws down field rather than picking up 7-8 yards every play with Kincaid.

 

Even if Bass makes the kick (we knew he wouldn't) then the Chiefs have the ball with over a min left. You don't think Mahomes is going to get his guys in FG range when we didn't stop them at all the entire night? Again, don't blame Bass. This isn't his fault. We would have lost either way.

This was my exact text to friends and family last night.

I disagree Jones did nothing to that throw. Shakir wasn't even looking for the ball. Bad throw, bad route. Even if that's a TD Mahomes would have almost 2 min to go down the field. We need 5-6 yard plays to keep the clock moving. Bad play calls or maybe the right play and Josh played hero ball. But that's what cost us the game

It was a melon farmer moment for sure

He's not.  7.4 mil in dead cap, no way Bills create a hole and take that cap hit plus what it would cost to sign a new kicker.

Wait- this can’t be true.  Our kicker has a 7.4 mil dead cap? Are you kidding me!?  
 

no wonder we are in cap hell.

He had one job- to make kicks. Other kickers hit 59 yard FGs in heavy rains and winds to tie us at expiration.  Bass struggled on PATs.  He has  been shaky the 3 games.  But playoff is not the time to switch kickers.

 

Bass has yips, and lives in Choke City.  Next man up
