Southern Bills Fan Posted October 7, 2018 Share Posted October 7, 2018 (edited) I have to admit that I thought he was washed up his last year in Jacksonville but he’s balling. Edited October 7, 2018 by Southern Bills Fan 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's certainly not in his prime but he serves a very useful role of being in a tough inside runner tough situations. He's the type of rugged player you want on your roster because he is a no frills player who understands his role but more importantly fulfills his role.

OldTimer1960 Posted October 7, 2018 Share Posted October 7, 2018 Never understood why that signing was SO unpopular. Ivory has a lot of miles on him, but he showed he still has some left today. His runs were important and his physicality helped equal the tone that the D set. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually liked the signing as I thought the team could have either paid less for him or found a big back like that for less. Either way he has proven to be a good complement to Shady.

He was a 30 year old running back coming off of 2 seasons where he looked shot, add in a long injury history and people were confused as to why the Bills paid 3 million for him. Clearly he still has some gas in the tank left. But I was among those that didn't get the price the team paid for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When your passing game is rudimentary at best and your offense centers around the running game this complimentary back is not overpaid. I'm not sure if he got a bonus because if not then it is structured as a one year deal. This was a good pickup from what he adds to our basic offense. And considering that it was also a reasonable value addition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have super good 20/20 hindsight vision of the process. You went from "all the stupid anti-tankers don't Billeive in a 1st overall pick, clearly the process can't get any better" to "all the stupid process doubters sure are hating winning games and being in the playoff hunt, clearly the process can't get any better" How do I trust that process which changes every week as defined by Joe? How do I find a middle ground with you? How do I get your approval when I celebrate wins and hate losses, while you celebrate anything? You LOVED the week 1 loss and you LOVED the Vikings game.
