He’s carries were consistent all season. The only two games he had under 10 carries were complete blowouts. he was pretty good last year. Gus Edwards is pretty good. JK Dobbins is better. Lamar gets a ton of carries. no need for another RB. he may be slowing down, I dunno, I haven’t seen him play since he got hurt this year. I would rather have him that Devonta Freeman regardless. Dunno if he’s Elric let to be play though Expand Dobbins 100% pushed him out this year, that was always expected. He’s a slow power back now though. I don’t need to look at the game logs cause I watched their last few games last year. He was used, but phased out of the important downs, they were going to Gus in critical spots in the rare cases Lamar didn’t keep it. Ingram 100% made an impact for them last year, my point was Father Time caught him last year though. I’m no fan of freeman and Ingram probably has more impact left in his game than freeman does. But I think both are all done. If we are talking signing him right now, and between him or freeman getting 5 carries in the super bowl sure I’ll pick Ingram. 1

And if the best running team thought this guy was done, chances are they don’t wait until they’re eliminated to drop him. Just my opinion.
whatdrought Posted January 19, 2021 Posted January 19, 2021 If we signed him now and made the SB, could he play? Ingram > Yeldon. 2
SydneyBillsFan Posted January 19, 2021 Posted January 19, 2021 If we did sign him, would he walk in on Josh's press conference saying "MVP....woo-woo"? 1

Utah John Posted January 19, 2021 Posted January 19, 2021 NFL = Not For Long. You can't blame players who cash in on their real contract after their 4-year rookie internship is over.
Mountain Man Posted January 19, 2021 Posted January 19, 2021 Big no. In a cap challenge the last thing we should be doing is paying a free agent running back. Draft someone or sign a UDFA if you want another RB. Singletary, Moss and Williams is fine.
HOUSE Posted January 19, 2021 Posted January 19, 2021 What in the world will we do with a running back? The pour guy will get all moldy on Buffalo's roster 3
CSBill Posted January 19, 2021 Posted January 19, 2021 If I'm the Bills, I have this conversation: Is he a better option than what we currently have on the roster as a back-up should we get to the SB? 1
T master Posted January 19, 2021 Posted January 19, 2021 (edited) I think we need to add thunder (?) to (motor) Lightning to add a change and this season Moss although has done okay he hasn't shown me the same thing motor did in his rookie season . IMHO he is almost the same kind of RB as Singletary with less wiggle a little more power maybe and by taking some game reps away from motor it has hurt his production . All the "experts" say that this is the "New NFL" and RB's are a dime a dozen but i call BS i think a RB needs to still get in a rhythm of the game and get use to what the opposition is doing how they are scheming the D to stop them just like a OC it's a guessing game at first then after a number of reps you see what they are doing and make adjustments . You can't do that when you only have a couple here then send the other guy in and he gets a couple or 3 carries while the 1st back is cooling down i don't get it sometimes you need the guy that can like motor make them miss in a phone booth (What's that youngsters might ask) then you need the other to be different especially in the post season . All SB winning teams have had that guy the Pats and Eagles used 6' 250 lbs Laggarette Blount the Cheifs had backs that were 5'9" but were 220lbs + other lighter backs too to off set the big back for like goal line sets and we don't have the big guy . If you have a Thurman Thomas then no you don't need a complimentary back as much because he does it all but we don't have a Thurman on this team going forward . I think Ingram is worth a look at least . Edited January 19, 2021 by T master

He may have hit a wall this year........it comes at a RB fast........but we haven't really been privy to that because he has rarely played on a RB heavy team. I'm not sure he's eligible to be signed but maybe CEH isn't going to make it back for the SB and the Chiefs reached out to his agent and got him released anticipating needing him. Expand Yes, almost done. 5.0 YPC at age 30 and 4.2 YPC at age 31 tells a story that's not that hard to read. 31 is not frequently a good age for RBs. There are occasional exceptions, but that's just what they are ... occasional. Especially when he was a healthy scratch a couple of times late this year. Edited January 19, 2021 by Thurman#1

MarlinTheMagician Posted January 19, 2021 Posted January 19, 2021 Found this from 2010, is it still the rule? If so, how many have we signed since end of regular season? Clubs participating in the playoffs are permitted to sign free agents throughout the postseason, but are limited to a total of four free agent signings, including players on other clubs' Practice Squads, during the period that begins at 4 p.m., New York time, on the Wednesday after the final regular season weekend."
