dezertbill Posted December 22, 2013 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MDH Posted December 22, 2013 Share 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.

hondo in seattle Posted December 22, 2013 Share Posted December 22, 2013 I've always been a FredEx fan. It's why I didn't cry when we traded Lynch for a 4th rounder. It's still a crappy trade but it made room for Freddy to get more playing time. Fred got a lot of something out of nothing in years 2009 to 2011. He may be past his prime but he's still an effective back (800 yards at 4.3 ypc as a back up behind a questionable line). And he's a warrior - gaining over 100 yards against the fins with broken ribs. One of my favorite all-time Bills. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan Posted December 23, 2013 Share Posted December 23, 2013 Fred is an absolute beast of a player... easily my favorite Bill since the Super Bowl teams.

Jkgobills Posted December 23, 2013 Share Posted December 23, 2013 Fred Jackson is a positive in every sense of the word. He is very talented, tough, hard working, smart, and a team leader. He gets the hard yards, and can make big plays in the red zone. This is what has allowed a RB from Coe College work his way through NFL Europe, to the Bills active roster, and outplay two high first round picks at RB (lynch and Spiller) during their time in Buffalo. No idea how much he has left in the tank, but it seems that Fred is the type if man and player who will leave it all on the field when his career is over. When people down here in ACC land ask me why CJ Spiller doesn't get more touches for the Bills..... I tell them it's because he us not as good as Fred Jackson.
