Bills’ Tyler Bass has deactivated social media after missed kick vs. Chiefs

Now would be a good time for #BillsMafia to show some love for Tyler Bass:

No more Tyler Bass on social media.

Bass missed a potential game-tying kick against the Kansas City Chiefs in the fourth quarter during the Buffalo Bills’ 27-24 divisional round loss.

After the contest, Bass stood at his locker and answered questions from the media. Teammates defended him as well.

But Bass evidently needs some time to himself.

It has been noted that Bass has deactivated his social media accounts on the day following the Bills’ loss to the Chiefs:

The image above is a screenshot of Bass’ account on X (formerly Twitter). A similar one can be found on his Instagram account which reads “page not found.”

Bass has felt the need to do that. Fans can be abusive. It’s understandable, but hopefully he will get the support he needs from Bills Mafia.

Bills’ Josh Allen following Chiefs loss: ‘Losing sucks’

#Bills’ Josh Allen following #Chiefs loss: ‘Losing sucks’

The Buffalo Bills saw their season come to a chilling end on the frozen tundra of Orchard Park on a windy Sunday night.

The team lost 27-24 to none other than their postseason nemesis and AFC rival Kansas City Chiefs.

In what’s become a series of postseason matches between NFL heavyweight contenders turned rivals, the Bills have beaten the Chiefs three consecutive times in the regular season while Kansas City ended Buffalo’s playoff campaign and season three times now.

The Bills and their fans remember those losses all too well and with the latest one still fresh, so is the feeling for Buffalo QB Josh Allen.

“It sucks,” He said to the media. “Losing sucks. Losing to them, losing to anybody at home sucks.”

The first two playoff losses to the Chiefs took place in Kansas City as, aside from the three Super Bowls they’ve appeared in, the Chiefs had not played any other road games on the way there.

The Bills beat their AFC East rival Dolphins to claim their fourth division crown and the first No. 2 AFC playoff seed in HC Sean McDermott’s tenure and entered Sunday’s contest with momentum, riding a six-game winning streak that began with a 20-17 NFL Week 14 win over that very Chiefs team.

As a result, Andy Reid’s squad played their first non-Super Bowl road playoff game in none other than Buffalo, with the Bills entering the game as the favorite to leave Highmark Stadium with a victory.

While losing in front of the teams’ home crowd surely carries its own emotions, losing in general resonates with Buffalo’s quarterback regardless of location.

“Here, there, it doesn’t matter,” Allen added. “Losing sucks. I don’t know what else to say.”

Just as in past matchups between the teams, the Bills’ defense and special teams failed in needed moments, including a missed 44-yard field goal on the Bills’ last drive that would have tied the game with 1:47 left to play Sunday night.

“We were within a whisker of tying that game and maybe even taking the lead there against the defending world champs,” HC Sean McDermott said to the press postgame. “Again, we just didn’t do enough — starting with me — to win this game.”

When questioned during his postgame press conference about any changes or adjustments needed, Allen 

“I don’t think it’s a big change,” the quarterback continued. “I think it’s just, again, we’ve got to find a way to score one more point than they do. And every season, if you don’t win, it’s a failed season. That’s the nature of the business. There’s one happy team at the end of the season, really. And when it’s not you and you’re so close, it sucks.”

Allen taking responsibility and the high road as a leader with a focus on the offense is consistent with his character and as a professional.

The franchise and GM Brandon Beane now will face an offseason opportunity to shore up and strengthen their defense, who struggled to get stops including on the Chiefs final drive that ended Buffalo’s season.

Bills’ Josh Allen provided Tyler Bass with a hug after Chiefs loss

Josh is there for Tyler:

The Buffalo Bills fell in the end. The spotlight was on Tyler Bass and he did not covert.

Who knows how the game could have gone even if the kicker made it. But from 44 yards out, Bass missed. The score at that point was 27-24 in favor of the Chiefs and that’s how it ended. 

At the podium and in the locker room, teammates defended Bass. Even before then, quarterback Josh Allen showed humility to the Bills kicker.

Allen was spotted giving Bass a hug in the tunnel of Highmark Stadium as the two left the field.

Call it leadership or whatever you like, but at the end of the day, that’s just a guy being a good person.

The NFL shared the video and it can be found in the clip below:

Bills’ Tyler Bass takes blame for Chiefs loss, teammates come to his defense

Bass faced the music but the #Bills went to his defense:

The Buffalo Bills lost by a margin of a field goal in the AFC divisional round against the Kansas City Chiefs.

They had their chance, but Tyler Bass missed it.

Bass has been a reliable kicker throughout his career in Buffalo, shown by the contract extension he previously signed with the team. Against the Chiefs, he had an opportunity with only minutes left but the wind pushed a boot from 44 yards out wide to the right thanks to a gust of wind. Kansas City ended up taking a 27-24 win in the end.

After the contest, Bass took complete responsibility.

“Ultimately, it’s completely on me. I’ve got to do a better job,” Bass said. “I’ve got to do a better job of playing it a little bit more left when you have a left-to-right. I’ve been here long enough to know that you have to do that.”

Despite Bass shouldering the blame, others came to his aid.

“I wish he wouldn’t have been put in that situation,” quarterback Josh Allen said via video conference. “You win as a team, you lose as a team. One play doesn’t define a game.”

“We have full confidence in Tyler,” head coach Sean McDermott added.

Unfortunately for Bass, Allen and McDermott, all three will have plenty of time to think about that kick now.

A Chiefs die-hard used a literal fan to blow Tyler Bass’s kick wide right in a viral video

Blame the missed kick on a die-hard with a fan, not Tyler Bass.

Buffalo Bills fans: If you’re looking for someone to blame for the Tyler Bass kick that went wide right and doomed your team to another playoff loss to the Kansas City Chiefs, don’t aim your sights at the kicker.

No, instead you have to blame a Chiefs die-hard with a standing fan.

As you’ll see in the video below, a dude literally took out a fan, started blowing the air in from the left of his television with people at his house watching … and sure enough, Bass’s kick blew to the right of the goalposts.

It’s very, very funny. Enjoy:

The Buffalo Bills are haunted by wide right… again

The Buffalo Bills are haunted by wide right… again

Let us wind the clock back to January of 1991. The 13-3 Buffalo Bills have just made their first trip to the Super Bowl, where they would face off against their in-state (sort of) compatriots, the New York Giants.

Despite also being 13-3, the Giants were major underdogs to the high-powered offense of the Buffalo Bills. Yet New York put forth a defensive masterclass, orchestrated by then-defensive coordinator Bill Belichick, and held Buffalo to only 19 points.

Still, the Bills were in a position to win. Lining up for a 47-yard field goal attempt for the victory, Scott Norwood’s kick sailed wide right.

Fast forward to Sunday, January 21st, 2024. Buffalo is trailing Kansas City 27-24, and had lost the previous two playoff meetings. The Bills are trying to return to the AFC Championship for the first time since the 2020 season, having been knocked out in consecutive Divisional Rounds.

To tie the game and hope for overtime or a defensive stop, the Bills lined up for a field goal. This time, from 44 yards out. Unfortunately, the result was all the same.

They same time is a flat circle, and in the case of the Buffalo Bills, this is one nightmare they cannot seem to wake up from.

The Bills’ 2023 season has come to an end. Once again, it’s earlier than many in western New York would have liked.

The final was a 27-24 edge for the Chiefs. The contest provided us with plenty of fun highlights… and some pretty good photos too.

Check out some of the top images from the Bills’ loss to the Chiefs below:

Josh Allen classily defended Bills kicker Tyler Bass after Buffalo’s brutal loss to the Chiefs

Josh Allen is a true leader.

It’s tempting to say otherwise, but postseason losses don’t usually come down to one missed kick. Sure, Buffalo Bills kicker Tyler Bass will have to live with “wide right” for a while, but it’s not as if his game-tying miss was solely why Buffalo fell short of the Kansas City Chiefs yet again.

And of all people, Josh Allen understands this perfectly.

In a topsy-turvy game that seemingly featured so many chaotic bounces and strange calls by officials, the Bills did not lose because their kicker couldn’t tie the game at the end. They lost as a team, and Allen wants everyone on the outside looking in to know that:

This shouldn’t even be a controversial statement. Bass’s miss wide right will get more attention, especially because of the other infamous Bills’ play it’s now synonymous with. But it’s not why the Chiefs went into Buffalo and won.

It’s because the Bills couldn’t capitalize and made too many mistakes as a team.

The Bills’ Tyler Bass missed a game-tying kick wide right vs. Chiefs that will haunt Buffalo for years

“Wide right” will once again torment Bills fans for years.

The Buffalo Bills had it in their grasp. In another instant classic playoff battle with the Kansas City Chiefs — this time at home — all the Bills had to do was close their rivals out. Nothing was guaranteed if they could get Kansas City to overtime, but at least they’d have a chance.

That is, unfortunately, not the hand they were dealt.

In the final moments, Bills kicker Tyler Bass had a 44-yard attempt lined up. A chip shot in most circumstances, but one that was undoubtedly teeming with pressure in a close playoff game. Bass missed … wide right — two words that the Bills and their fans probably never wanted to hear this time of year again.

With Bass’s miss, all the Chiefs had to do was churn out a single first down (which they did) to clinch a sixth straight AFC title game appearance. Meanwhile, despite possessing Josh Allen — a bona fide Hall of Fame caliber quarterback — the Bills have once again experienced unfathomable postseason heartbreak.

January can be a very cruel time in the NFL, especially in Buffalo.

Once again, the Bills are devastated by a wide-right field goal miss

The last two words any Buffalo Bills fan wants to hear is, “Wide Right.” Sadly, it’s become a thing again.

The Buffalo Bills and their fans were heartbroken enough by their 27-24 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs in the divisional round of the playoffs, but Buffalo’s final scoring chance was scuttled by two words near and infamous to everyone who has ever loved this team:

Wide right.

With 1:47 left in the game, Tyler Bass attempted a 44-yard field goal that would have tied the game. Sadly, you can guess where the ball went.

Of course, the trauma is because of the field goal kicker Scott Norwood missed with eight seconds left in Super Bowl XXV on January 27, 1991.
