dezertbill Posted December 22, 2013 Posted December 22, 2013 (edited) Nothing but love today to our workhorse RB Fred Jackson, averaging almost 6 yards a carry, getting his first 100 yard game of the season, and allowing the Bills to control the clock the whole game. Spiller had a decent game as well at almost 4 yards a tote to help the Bills get over 200 yards. It's performances such as today that proves it's ignorant to think that Jackson is "over the hill" or "has played his last game" for the Bills. He comes up in big games and makes big plays. The 1-2 punch has rushed for over 1650 yards this season at a 50/50 clip, and Jackson has 6 years on Spiller and STILL averages 4+ yards per carry. Great numbers for a 32 year old RB and leader of this franchise. . Edited December 22, 2013 by dezertbill
aussiew Posted December 22, 2013 Posted December 22, 2013 And we wasted time reading that thread earlier this week about Fred being almost washed up and ready for a trade! He may be aging, but many players peak later in their career.
boyst Posted December 22, 2013 Posted December 22, 2013 Leads the team with total yardage, and rushing, now.
oman128 Posted December 22, 2013 Posted December 22, 2013 Fred sure put on a great show today in his last game at Ralph Wilson Stadium as a Buffalo Bills player. thanks for the memories Fredex, you made your last game your best game.
Rockinon Posted December 22, 2013 Posted December 22, 2013 Surpassed 5000 yards for his career. Only Thurman and OJ have more.
KellyToTasker Posted December 22, 2013 Posted December 22, 2013 This was not Fred's last game at the Ralph. He has another year on his contract.
dezertbill Posted December 22, 2013 Author Posted December 22, 2013 This was not Fred's last game at the Ralph. He has another year on his contract. Just hit the "ignore" button bud. Some fans just don't get it. Maybe they can trade Fred, EJ, and Stevie for a....say....6th round pick. I mean...that's all they are really worth...right? I think Tim Euhus' cousin is in the draft. Championship!

oman128 Posted December 22, 2013 Posted December 22, 2013 just my opinion you don't have to call me names like a three year old.
CSBill Posted December 22, 2013 Posted December 22, 2013 just my opinion you don't have to call me names like a three year old. further proof there should be some kind of minimal IQ qualifications to share "your opinions" on this board
Rob's House Posted December 22, 2013 Posted December 22, 2013 just my opinion you don't have to call me names like a three year old. This is a message board thread, not the ancient yuletide carol.
boyst Posted December 22, 2013 Posted December 22, 2013 This is a message board thread, not the ancient yuletide carol. but if it was a yule log, i am pretty sure we know where it could be put
oman128 Posted December 22, 2013 Posted December 22, 2013 (edited) Ba humbug! Edited December 22, 2013 by oman128
PromoTheRobot Posted December 22, 2013 Posted December 22, 2013 People take for granted how shifty Fred is in close quarters. He makes guys miss him in the hole with the most subtle move that freezes defenders.
boyst Posted December 22, 2013 Posted December 22, 2013 Ba humbug! look, not trying to be a grinch, but you've added this thought in a bunch of threads and it hasn't been popular. it is one thing to start a thread and let that discussion stay there or bring it up when it is relevant to the thread of the discussion but you have derailed this thread and another thread with your "kick fred out" campaign. that's why people are upset and not showing this any tolerance.
MDH Posted December 22, 2013 Posted December 22, 2013 People take for granted how shifty Fred is in close quarters. He makes guys miss him in the hole with the most subtle move that freezes defenders. My favorite thing about him is his burst when he realizes there's nothing there. When the line is stacked up instead of hesitating like Spiller he plants and accelerates into the tiny crack and picks up 2 yards where there were none. It's not spectacular or that noticeable on the stat sheet but there's a difference between gaining 2 yards and gaining none (or losing one) when it comes to down and distance and the plays in the playbook that can be called. look, not trying to be a grinch, but you've added this thought in a bunch of threads and it hasn't been popular. it is one thing to start a thread and let that discussion stay there or bring it up when it is relevant to the thread of the discussion but you have derailed this thread and another thread with your "kick fred out" campaign. that's why people are upset and not showing this any tolerance. The guy is obviously doing it just to get reactions. Best just to ignore him.
BillsFanForever19 Posted December 22, 2013 Posted December 22, 2013 I'm surprised it hasn't been mentioned yet, but apparently he was playing on broken ribs today! @RapSheet: Who needs ribs? RT @ByTimGraham: Our @JaySkurski reports Bills RB Fred Jackson played with broken ribs today ... 119 yards and a TD.
Alaska Darin Posted December 22, 2013 Posted December 22, 2013 just my opinion you don't have to call me names like a three year old. And you don't have to do what you're doing. Did you not get enough hugs as a kid or something?
