WMDman Posted March 26, 2019 Share Posted March 26, 2019 I thought he had a decent run with us, wish him the best wherever he signs next, unless he plays the Bills! 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wo-Bah Posted March 26, 2019 Share Posted March 26, 2019 Man, our backfield is ancient. I don't like it. I liked Chris Ivory. I imagine trying to tackle him, would've been like trying to talk a boulder rolling down a mountain at full speed. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoPar_v2 Posted March 26, 2019 Share Posted March 26, 2019 Not unexpected. Let’s go get one or two young guys in the draft (any round but the 1st.) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MiltonWaddams Posted March 26, 2019 Share Posted March 26, 2019 (edited) I liked Ivory, but you cannot Be surprised as his skill set is quite redundant with Gore. Absolutely wish him the best in everything he does in the future, except when he’s playing the Bills.

I liked Ivory too, but I'm not sure keeping him was the solution for an ancient backfield. McCoy/Gore/rookie and one of the other guys sounds just fine. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GETTOTHE50 Posted March 26, 2019 Share Posted March 26, 2019 sad. i liked seeing him run. easy player to cheer for. plus, some of my favorite josh allen plays were with ivory. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
#34fan Posted March 26, 2019 Share Posted March 26, 2019 They needed to let go of at least one of these 30+ year olds… I hope they address this in the draft... TRAVIS HOMER! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forward Progress Posted March 26, 2019 Share Posted March 26, 2019 The timing feels like it was to give Ivory his best chance to catch on with another team. I've heard Beane talk about the importance of ending on good terms with departing players. This may be another case of this here. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NewEra Posted March 26, 2019 Share Posted March 26, 2019 Thanks for your effort Mr Ivory. Sad to see him go, but it makes sense. There are several RBs in this year’s draft of like to grab in rds 3-5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BADOLBILZ Posted March 26, 2019 Share Posted March 26, 2019 But just yesterday I was told he was a good free agent signing?? Ran hard.........if you needed 2 yards he got you 3.........if you needed 4 yards he got you 3. 1 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alphadawg7 Posted March 26, 2019 Share Posted March 26, 2019 Shocked...said no one ever. This was pretty obvious move with Gore signing. There was no way they were going to go into the season with 3 over 30 RB's, especially with some good prospects in this draft and all our draft picks. Nothing against Ivory, but we need some fresh legs to go with those old timers. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nick the Greek Posted March 26, 2019 Share Posted March 26, 2019 Looking back at Ivory’s year as a Bill.. I can’t think of 1 great or memorable play. he didn’t really do much of anything. In a few years I don’t think I’ll even remember he played for the Bills. Wish him the best but his time in Buffalo was almost non existent.

JimKellyTryouts Posted March 26, 2019 Share Posted March 26, 2019 Honestly, I felt he was a lot more efficient than Shady this past year for the touches he had and the way he ran. His release was expected and a little unfortunate because he wasn't really a problem with this team by any means, so with that being said, all the best to him. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know it sounds out there but look at John Miller's contract with the Bengals. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
