Big Turk Posted November 4, 2019 Posted November 4, 2019 (edited) Peterson was quoted as saying "Wow, who is this kid? Because I was figuring to see Frank in there a little bit more, and then this young kid comes in there like a firecracker. I’m just like, ‘Wheeeeeeeeeew. He’s running. That’s my style. That’s what I like.’ I know Frank loves it, too. He’s very impressive. He did some great things in the run game, in the pass game, picking up blocks. He was very impressive to watch today.”’ Singletary also said after the game Peterson told him he had it and that just keep working hard and believing in God and everything would take care of itself and that he had the talent. When a future hall of famer is impressed with you, that's when you know you have something special...Singletary could be a great one for the Bills...he certainly looks the part early on, dude just makes people look silly even on 4 yard runs sometimes...

NewEra Posted November 4, 2019 Posted November 4, 2019 I’m happy we have Gore but I’d be happier with AD. Best RB I’ve ever seen 1

billsfan1959 Posted November 4, 2019 Posted November 4, 2019 It took Peterson 1 quarter to recognize what Singletary brings to the game and it took our coaching staff 5 games. Hopefully, he remains featured in the gameplan from this point forward. 6 2 2

Certainly something to side eye... injuries, inexperience, something else... who knows, BUT it may be a blessing in disguise as he should be fresh for the second half of the season.
BringBackOrton Posted November 4, 2019 Posted November 4, 2019 We definitely forget how much that probably means to Singletary. He was in like high school when AP was carrying those Vikings teams to the playoffs and rushing for 2k off a torn ACL. 1
One Buffalo Posted November 4, 2019 Posted November 4, 2019 Can't really hear what they are saying because of background noise, but here they are interacting after the game- 3
stevewin Posted November 4, 2019 Posted November 4, 2019 (edited) It's a shame Devin will never be good b/c he's "slow" (look at his 40 time!) and will - you know - get chased down from behind on all the 80+ yard straight line runs in the open field that RBs have with such frequency Edited November 4, 2019 by stevewin 1 1

I agree, I'm sure that meant a lot to the kid. He's definitely been impressive.

You're right, he should be fresher for the second half of the season. Still, Singletary is a natural playmaker and should have been featured in this offense from the first game. If I thought it was related to injury at all, I would be more understanding. However, I don't think it was. On an offense that needs playmakers, I just don't understand how they failed to incorporate, perhaps, the biggest playmaker.

Kirby Jackson Posted November 4, 2019 Posted November 4, 2019 Don’t forget who Singletary’s biggest fan on here was leading up to the draft 2

I really like McDermott and staff but they do some strange personnel stuff.. Singletary/Gore workload up until Week 9. Calling up Peko over Taylor, only to cut Peko and sign Taylor 2 weeks later after Peko struggled. What is going on with Foster/Duke? I do like that they eventually traded Zay and promoted Duke. I do like that they awarded Phillips the start over Oliver, because he earned it. Overall though, I think he’s a very good coach and their personnel decisions at least aren’t flippant. 1
GunnerBill Posted November 4, 2019 Posted November 4, 2019 AP has had his problems off the field but man.... he still has some tread on those tires. He is one of the best to ever do it.
finn Posted November 4, 2019 Posted November 4, 2019 Does he remind anyone else of Thurman Thomas? Same low center of gravity, same shiftiness, similar frame... 4

He is one of the best to ever do it. I’m rewatching the game now. His third big run in a row was a Houdinini. No idea how he stayed up in that pile then emerging running down the sideline.

We all know how they turned out.
Mrbojanglezs Posted November 4, 2019 Posted November 4, 2019 Its time for Devin to be our lead back. Gore should only come in to spell at this point, maybe short yardage but he didn't look good doing that yesterday. I really hope personnel decisions aren't being made solely to help Gore reach 3rd overall in yardage, nice but we need to have the most productive players on the field.
