Tyler Bass in cold weather

Exactly, everyone was more than happy with him this year, but the posters who think they are smarter than everyone else all coming out of woodwork now.

 

I do wonder what happened to him to go from so good to this season where he struggled.  He started the year off think it was 10 for 10.  Believe it was in game announcer stated Bass is 10 for 10, and sure enough missed the kick.  From there went downhill.  Kind of funny was around the same time Diggs went to hell too.

Correct, he was 9-9 on FGs, missed 2, then didn’t miss again for a few more games. 
 

Something happened.

Can we stop demanding that any player who has a bad season be cut? Sheesh. 

Nope, I'm ready to move on from those that arent performing. I'm so over being stuck in mediocrity.

He's on the roster I wouldn't be surprised if they brought in competition maybe but he's got an offseason to get right.

I think this is likely since I doubt beat wants to add -3 to the -43 million. 
 

Their are some kickers who are scheduled to be FAs, though…

What a fall from grace. He was a top 3 kicker last year and the year before. He was hitting the ball over the upright on 60 yard field goals. I just cant understand this fall. 

Technically he wasn’t. His 87% was middle-just above middle of the pack. 
 

Still solid though. Hopefully he can work through it.

I'm not sure where one could find this information, but I'd be willing to bet that Bass has more trouble when kicking in cold weather (lets say 30 degrees or below). 

For example, he missed two extra points in the perfect game. It should have been 49-17, not 47. 

He shanked one last week in the cold.....he's from SC, kicked at Georgia Southern.....maybe we need a cold weather kicker?

 

I don't think it's because of cold weather. I think he's just not that good. Not nearly as good as many thought couple seasons ago

He was never a top three kicker. His 87.1% in 2022 was #11 in the NFL that season.  Maybe you can say he was a top 10 kicker if you account for weather conditions, but over the last three years, opponent kickers in Bills games have made a higher percentage of field goals than Bass has. Bass has never been elite, but before this year, he was good enough for what the Bills needed.

I don't see the harm in bringing him into camp and seeing where he is next season.  I'd also bring in some competition.  Many excellent kickers have bad games or bad seasons.  If he doesn't look right in camp, move on.
