atlbillsfan1975 Posted October 7, 2018 Share Posted October 7, 2018 Ivory has a ton left in the tank. Perfect type of runner to compliment Shady. If those two stay healthy Bills shouldn’t be embarrassed again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I certainly didn't oppose the signing. Dude has always been solid on every team he's played for. Jets are probably kicking themselves for letting him go.

Meh, give it a day and the "Allen is trash we need to draft another QB" takes will start.

It was very unpopular because he was signed before FA started since he got cut and many said the Bills jumped the gun and paid too much and should have waited to sign someone else. They liked him for a reason. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ol Dirty B Posted October 8, 2018 Share Posted October 8, 2018 I wasn't a fan of the signing. I was wrong. He has been a great 2nd RB. They did well on this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrEpsYtown Posted October 8, 2018 Share Posted October 8, 2018 I recall a lot of people hated it, said he was washed up and looked at stats like YPC. They compared him to Mike Tolbert, and it's a ridiculous and short sighted comment. Ivory was a smart signing and has been integral to keeping drives alive. Perfect complement to McCoy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerome007 Posted October 8, 2018 Share Posted October 8, 2018 Seems to me if they are used as today, not only can Ivory and McCoy be effective, but it might make them gain one more year on their careers by sharing the load like that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CommonCents Posted October 8, 2018 Share Posted October 8, 2018 I hated it, frequently listed his fumble percentages. I wanted a rookie who could usher Shady out of town.

I thought it was a great signing right off the bat. Yep he brings a true physical presence to the running game. His 2.8 ypc average is impressively pathetic............but the impact of pounding on a DL with a big back is something the Bills have lacked in the past couple years. He's the anti-Shady......low yardage but high physical impact and good pass pro....... so they complement each other well. What I'd like to see is more Shady in the slot and Ivory in the backfield.

Hes the type of guy that even if not stellar, fans will love. im not sure if yolo would’ve chalked me up as a hater or not... I would’ve preferred a young back under the assumption this is shadys final year. Additionally, if he sprains an ankle I do not think ivory can be a workhorse for 4-6 weeks. But in a limited rotational role, I’ve always loved watching the dude run. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C.Biscuit97 Posted October 8, 2018 Share Posted October 8, 2018 Good player who runs hard. But only in Buffalo, whose nfl team is suck in the 60s, is a backup rb such a big deal. I like the player but no smart team is paying $3 million for a 30 year old back up running back. one day we will have a modern offense and not have 100 page thread about losing a back up running back (Mike G, it actually happened here!).

NewEra Posted October 8, 2018 Share Posted October 8, 2018 I’ve always loved him. Loved the signing. That’s being said....he runs even harder than I ever remember.

LSHMEAB Posted October 8, 2018 Share Posted October 8, 2018 I hated the Ivory signing. Figured he was Mike Tolbert 2.0. I was 100% wrong. Dude is just nasty with it. Best need a yard, get a yard guy we've had in a LONG time. That type of attitude is contagious and far more important to football character than what someone does on Friday night.

YPC is a worthless stat for a guy who gets all kinds of 3rd and 4th and 1-2, as well as goalline carries, but not a full load of normal carries.

That's what was so amazing about what Gillislee did in Roman's offense.........lead the league in YPC and was also the most effective short yardage and goal-line back in the league. I have always liked Ivory but man have our standards for run game efficiency fallen off a cliff under McD. Not keeping that Roman/Lynn offense was one of many mistakes by McD.

billsbackto81 Posted October 8, 2018 Share Posted October 8, 2018 I used to cringe and shake with fear when 3rd and 2 or 4th and 1 would be in play expecting the usual Stonewall D at the LOS. Now that we have Ivory and a big, strong QB I've been cured. ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
