Halloween Land Posted August 24, 2019 Posted August 24, 2019 He looked like his old self last night. He had some great runs, 2 of them came back because of penalties but not his fault. I still think he is the best running back on the team. Embrace the moments between him and Gore because we got 2 Hall of Fame running backs in the same backfield and that never happens. 13 1 3
YoloinOhio Posted August 24, 2019 Posted August 24, 2019 He looked really fast. Reminded me of that one good game he had last year vs the Jets. 3 1
Marv's Neighbor Posted August 24, 2019 Posted August 24, 2019 Yes, he looked good. An improvement over last season's play. BUT, I couldn't shake the feeling that the BILLS may be "showcasing" him for a trade? 3 1 1
SoCal Deek Posted August 24, 2019 Posted August 24, 2019 Mark me down as unconvinced. Last night the Bills were obviously focusing on the running game but with the exception of a couple plays the holes really weren’t there...especially up the middle. We may have two accomplished backs but geez the O Line could really use a Center! 2

Whether he gets enough practice time before that to hit the ground running (pun intended) remains to be seen, but they are being extra cautious with him due to his history. He’s been at practice all along, not sitting in a dark room somewhere

ghostwriter Posted August 24, 2019 Posted August 24, 2019 He looked like a Pro Bowl caliber of RB. I have egg on my face for saying he should be traded, there is no way you trade him at this point. I was completely wrong. 6
ALLEN1QB Posted August 24, 2019 Posted August 24, 2019 (edited) I am usually very critical of him but I must admit he did look very fresh looking forward to a good year we're going to need him for sure. Go Bills Edited August 24, 2019 by ALLEN1QB

Guess he'll be in the Pro Bowl too?

I don’t understand what’s so funny, Shady looked like himself. Gore looked great too, as did Singletary. It’s a good situation to be in because there is no way Allen carries this team on his arm.

Given a giant hole--he can still run through it..... 1
Steptide Posted August 24, 2019 Posted August 24, 2019 I found it a little interesting that Singletary didn't play much last night. Can't imagine he's going anywhere. I'm 99% sure shady won't be here in a week. 1 2 3 2

Agree, Shady did look himself, running into the line for no gain or loss of one. Granted he had less than ten total attempts so hard to gauge, he had two decent runs but the rest were for losses for the most part. I think it could come down to who they feel gives them more total overall value, him or Yeldon and keep one of them, plus Gore and the rookie. Maybe MoCoy gets the nod for locker room presence.

It would be a cap dump I guess but I think we might as well keep him for veteran leadership. Edited August 24, 2019 by Nick the Greek 2 1
Real McClappy Posted August 24, 2019 Posted August 24, 2019 He still looks like the Real McCoy baby! people forget, but watch how he does with a real NFL line now. 1 1
bmur66 Posted August 24, 2019 Posted August 24, 2019 I missed the first half but just “meh” until I see jock straps laying on the turf in a meaningful game. Haven’t seen that in years and I’m not sure he still has it.

He may still have it, but a 31 y/o RB on the last year of his deal MIGHT get you a 4th if you're lucky. I've been shutting down the "Shady will be gone" chat in my circle for weeks. People point to last year's numbers, while seemingly disregarding how terrible the offense was last year, with a poor O line. 1

He’s always been that way though. He had two monster runs that were called back due to questionable calls. I guess the refs couldn’t wait until the regular season to screw the Bills.
YodaMan79 Posted August 24, 2019 Posted August 24, 2019 (edited) People are hilarious. The same crowd that craps on Peterman for pre-season success gives credit to RB who's running into a vanilla D, and a collection players that won't be playing together when real bullets start flying. I didn't see what you guys did, and that was with the offense focusing on the run game with Allen in, for some reason? He needed to work on his timing on short and intermediate routes. Second day of training camp after OTAs, you should be able to run the ball. Edited August 24, 2019 by YodaMan79 1
