SB Nation Reacts: What Should the Bills Do With Tyler Bass Based on Results?

Posted on by Vaseline

At 2-0 and in first place in the AFC East, the Buffalo Bills are off to a strong start to their 2024 NFL season. Scoring 65 points in two winning efforts has pleased most of the Bills Mafia, and fans have turned out in droves — ready to see what Buffalo really has in store come the end of the season.

To get where Buffalo hopes to be in January and beyond, they’ll have to keep winning, starting in Week 3. The people of FanDuel Sports Betting opened the week with the Bills as 5.5-point favorites over the Jacksonville Jaguars, and the line remains unchanged. That speaks to the confidence in Buffalo despite their recent struggles against Jacksonville.

Largely cast as an afterthought in the Super Bowl race thanks to a massive roster shakeup, the Bills have played complementary football to near perfection against both the Arizona Cardinals and Miami Dolphins. Suddenly, many analysts have woken up to the idea that the Buffalo Bills could still pose a serious threat for league supremacy in 2024. It’s as if many doubters have forgotten that Josh Allen is playing quarterback in Buffalo.

Bills fans haven’t forgotten this important fact, however, and most will tell you that even the loss of wide receiver Stefon Diggs won’t completely stop the team’s top scoring offense.

In this week’s SB Nation Reacts poll, we asked Buffalo Rumblers two questions:

  1. Do you have confidence in the current direction of the Buffalo Bills?
  2. Do you think it’s time to say goodbye to Tyler Bass?

And in this week’s results, voters are making it clear just how much they support the Bills’ current trajectory. After hovering around 75% for the past two weeks, the Bills Mafia’s approval rating for the team shot up to 93% ahead of their Week 3 showdown.

We also wanted to know what voters think is true about kicker Tyler Bass — whether or not it’s time to move on from him. Bass has missed one field goal this season (and made three others), and it happened on a wet field in humid South Florida. The Bills were in no position to lose the game at the time, but the miss has continued to fuel speculation about Bass’s job security.

After the win, word spread that One Bills Drive had acquired a pair of free-agent kickers in the past week. Had the Bills lost faith in Tyler Bass based on that miss and his kickoff struggles in Week 1 in a blowout fourth-quarter win? Were those recent misses simply the breaking point for what has been an inconsistent offseason of practices?

While we don’t yet know what will happen with those workouts involving Anders Carlson and Cade York, it’s clear that our voters are less convinced that a change is needed at kicker. You only have to look at Carlson and York’s work and their lack of experience to question the effectiveness of Bass’ retirement.

Currently, only 38% of voters are convinced it is time to replace Tyler Bass with another candidate.

Jaguars fans got to vote on the outcome of this week’s MNF game. The results at Big Cat Country may surprise you.

Statement by Dr. the Most Honourable Andrew Holness ON, PC, MP, DLP At the Plenary Session of the UN Future Summit on 22 September 2024 —————————————————————————————————– Mr. President, Jamaica welcomes the convening of the Future Summit. We commend the co-facilitators of the Future Compact, the Declaration on Future Generations and the Global Digital Compact for their hard work. Together, this Summit and the Compact embody renewed hope in advancing a common vision of harnessing multilateralism to create a dynamic framework in which our future generations will thrive. Jamaica is proud to have contributed to this historic process, particularly as a co-facilitator of the Declaration on Future Generations. Mr. President, the Compact rightly reaffirms the importance of achieving the SDGs. The 2023 SDG Summit laid bare the lack of progress in implementing the SDGs, including the reality that small island developing States are particularly far off from meeting them. With many still recovering from the pandemic, the heart of the challenge, and one that must be addressed urgently, lies in the glaring SDG financing gap of $2.5-4 trillion annually. As the Compact affirms, we must redouble our efforts to tackle global poverty, income inequality and food insecurity; we have a duty to limit global temperature rise to 1.5 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels; and we must create a future that promotes peaceful societies and ensures debt sustainability, resilience to climate shocks, infrastructure development, quality health and education systems, full respect for human rights, the empowerment of women and girls AND an enabling environment that makes international trade and the economy work towards sustainable development. I wish to emphasise that these are all priority areas in Jamaica’s National Development Plan-Vision 2030. Mr President, we are facing unprecedented challenges to international peace and security, driven primarily by geopolitical motives, but increasingly by transnational organised crime networks. These challenges go to the heart of the UN Charter. The Compact provides a realistic framework within which we can all live together in peace and harmony, within and between countries, and transmit the nature of such coexistence to our future generations. It is therefore well aligned with and supportive of the Secretary-General’s Agenda for Peace. We welcome the Compact’s focus on the importance of science, innovation and technological advancement, including digitalisation. Admittedly, new technologies, such as artificial intelligence and robotics, create new challenges to security and some livelihoods. However, they also create important opportunities, particularly for young people; and have great potential to empower generations, transform economies and solve complex challenges. The potential is, in fact, so great that we must emphasize the importance of international cooperation to address the challenges and seize the opportunities, particularly for the benefit of people in developing countries. I must stress that reforms in our international systems are needed to better meet the needs of today’s world. In particular, I agree with the Secretary-General that “the international financial system is outdated, dysfunctional and unjust.” Moreover, the UN Security Council must be more representative, inclusive and effective in a changing global security landscape. As a small island developing state, the Compact presents a path to turbocharging SDG implementation, addressing the impact of and tackling the root causes of climate change, and setting the framework for making global governance fairer, more equitable and more inclusive. Fellow facilitators, the world is counting on us to use this Summit to nurture renewed hope for the future, lay a suitable foundation for the prosperity of our descendants, and take bold steps to make this a reality. We must seize this opportunity! Thank you!
