thewildrabbit Posted December 22, 2010 Posted December 22, 2010 Belichick calling Fred Jackson one of the best in the business....pretty high praise coming from the devil himself Nice article from Tim Graham http://espn.go.com/blog/afceast/post/_/id/23586/bill-belichick-loves-him-some-fred-jackson
boyst Posted December 22, 2010 Posted December 22, 2010 If Fred Jackson wore a Patriots jersey he would be all-pro every year. He is a Sammy Morris x 5.
BuffaloBill Posted December 22, 2010 Posted December 22, 2010 It is hard to blieve the Bills have wasted top draft picks on RB's when this guy was already on the roster. Fred has made an average offensive line look pretty solid.
dayman Posted December 23, 2010 Posted December 23, 2010 Bill needs to come coach us if our team is so great...
C.Biscuit97 Posted December 23, 2010 Posted December 23, 2010 If Fred Jackson wore a Patriots jersey he would be all-pro every year. He is a Sammy Morris x 5. I agree with this 100%. A much better version of Antowain Smith.
ieatcrayonz Posted December 23, 2010 Posted December 23, 2010 I think the Bills should file a complaint with Roger Goodell. This is clearly tampering on the part of Bellicheat. The guy with 6 names is ok but the Pats need a back like Jackson especially with Faulk being out all year, older and with a future in question. Why else would he go so overboard talking about Jackson? He is setting him up to join the Pats next year and this is cheating.

JohninMinn. Posted December 23, 2010 Posted December 23, 2010 Fred is servicable but i like breakaway speed. He's not a threat to break one all the way and his methodical style of picking holes, while effective, drives me crazy. I'm really hoping Spiller can be that guy after getting a taste of the NFL and knowing what he needs to do.
vincec Posted December 23, 2010 Posted December 23, 2010 Bill needs to come coach us if our team is so great... +1 You'd think that the Bills were 12-2 from listening him to him not the Patriots.
BillsFan-4-Ever Posted December 23, 2010 Posted December 23, 2010 Bellyache also complimented former Bills wide receiver Josh Reed playing well for the Buffalo this season.
Red Posted December 23, 2010 Posted December 23, 2010 AS much as Levy, Guy, and Modrak screwed us up with free agents and draft picks (Dockery, Royal, Walker, Triplett, Whitner, Simpson), they got it right with Fred Jackson. I hate to hijack this thread and turn it into a Modrak sucks post, but Levy is gone, Guy is finally gone...all that remains is his Royal suckiness Modrak. Why we can strike home runs on undrafted free agents but continually suck buffalo balls with drafting first rounders- FOR AN ENTIRE DECADE!!!!!- beats me...
8-8 Forever? Posted December 23, 2010 Posted December 23, 2010 Bellyache also complimented former Bills wide receiver Josh Reed playing well for the Buffalo this season. We are so going to get blasted by the Pats Sunday. People will unfortunately be brought crashing back to earth. The fans will be calling for Kelsay, Poz, Whitner, and McKelvin's heads by 6pm

The fans will be calling for Kelsay, Poz, Whitner, and McKelvin's heads by 6pm as much as I hate to admit that may just happen... I'm hoping that I will be proven wrong and that Fitz can lead us into the future. I will support any QB that can get us past the hated putrids. The Miami rivalry began when the Fish defeated the for 20 straight times. Now that the fish are toothless the angst is against the Putz. so far its' 14 straight. How many are gifts from the refs to Cinderfella Brady?
Stealth Posted December 23, 2010 Posted December 23, 2010 (edited) Fred Jackson reminds me a lot like former patriot/jet Curtis Martin. Good shifty in between the tackles runner, who can break a few tackles,solid receiver, good with blitz pickup,is well respected by teammates,fans, and opposing teams and coaches on and off the field. He won't wow anyone with breakaway speed, but feed him the ball consistently 20-25 times a game run/pass and you can build an offense around his talent. as much as I hate to admit that may just happen...

How many are gifts from the refs to Cinderfella Brady? Very few that I can recall. The only 'gift game' in The Brady vs Bills era I can recall in the Bruschi "American of the Century' return game. Eric Moulds getting called for a late pi that esentially sealed the win for NE. Other than that they've been lucky to beat us Once with Mckelvin's fumbleitis. For the most part they've just outright dominated us something like 408-126 in the last 20 games against them. When it comes to football at this point there is nothing I'd get more satisfaction out of, than to end the losing streak to NE. I respect, but truly despise that team.

FightinIrishBills Posted December 23, 2010 Posted December 23, 2010 Hmmm, that's funny, according to Howard Simon and Jeremy White, Fred Jackson needs to be phased out of the offense next year because he's an average back at best. I think I respect their football acumen over the "great" Belichick. :wallbash: I actually like Simon's show, but when Jeremy said that Jackson isn't that good of a running back I wanted to drop-kick my radio.
boyst Posted December 23, 2010 Posted December 23, 2010 Wow, some negative nancy's came out here. I'd be happy with a strong productive display by our defense. If we can shut them to less then 24 points while having our offense on the field for at least 45% of the time I will be impressed enough to call it a positive.

Fred is an enigma. Its not clear why he is so good, he is not the biggest, the strongest or the fastest, he just somehow gets it done. It's why, I guess, he went for so long without being discovered. My only worry with him form the Bills perspective is around 29-30 lots of the greats have fallen off of a cliff.

He is almost 30 years old with the energy of a 25 year old. The knowledge and experience mixed with this ability and his late start are what make him an enigma.
alton Posted December 23, 2010 Posted December 23, 2010 I love Jackson, but it seems like he is dropping a lot of passes this year. I wonder if his hand is still bothering him?
