Singletary was close to fumbling with seconds remaining

For whatever reason he doesn’t have two hands on the ball. His left hand is clutching his right hand. Weird and he, and the Bills, are lucky it didn’t pop out.

Seriously?

 

Visualize they are going to punch/strip the ball, that is EXACTLY how you would cradle the boy.

 

Absurd thread about a non-event.

Honestly in my opinion it is a story. The guy is small 5’7 or so right? He has short arms. He is more vulnerable to fumbling than a guy 5’10 or taller. He is also considerably shorter than your average NFL RB don’t you think? He fumbled and lost it once last week and almost did again. I love the guy but I’m just stating facts here


Then why doesn’t he have a higher fumbling rate.  
 

Oh those pesky facts

Yeah I saw this the other day somewhere else...I wondered why Singletary went down like that initially when watching but then it became obvious...it was almost like a half dive on the ball fall by him.  Also love 93 with his hands to his head like "WTF are you doing bro, they said let him score!!"

Never saw this angle before. Watch how close Singletary to blowing the game here. Time for a RB upgrade!

 

 


And you wonder why you get so much s**t around here…another stellar garbage thread for the purpose of being negative.  
 

It was f-ing raining and wet.  Shocker a ball almost came out.  DIGGS also had a TD go right through his wet hands, do we need to upgrade him too?
 

Im ashamed at myself for even wasting my time posting in this absolutely pointless thread.  I’m gonna go hold my hand over a candle flame until it burns as punishment.

Aaaaand he didn’t fumble. Aaaaand we won. 

 

I'm not picking on you but this take is wrong. It does matter. McD will not play our 2nd round pick because of fumbles but Singletary has the 2nd highest fumble rate in the league. He has lost very few of them but that is largely luck. I need to see Cook on the field or someone else. Singletary is a liability. 

 

My problem with McD here is his process is BS. He is more concerned with the outcome than the process.

He does.

 

Singletary fumbles approximately 1.5% of his carries over his career

 

The average fumble rate in the NFL from 2013-2018 (closest date I could find) is 0.87%


So about half of Singletary's fumble rate. The league, on average, fumbles about half as often as Singletary does.

It's not "for the purpose of being negative". Do you think I scout the internet to find negatives? I do not.

 

The purpose of this thread is a discussion about how we need a better RB. And one piece of evidence is Singletary's difficulties with hanging onto the ball. It is certainly not his only issue, but it is one of them.

He's lost the ball (an actual turnover) 3 times in 4 years.  Over 650 touches (rushing and receiving) and he's only lost the ball 3 times.  This is almost as good as your shortened vid of the Ingram strip sack where you fail to show DE blowing by the tackle and blame Singletary for the sack.

Baltimore wanted to let Buffalo score.  Oweh got a ton of heat in the moment from his teammates and from fans/media after the game.

 

Oweh said he wasn’t trying to tackle… just take one punch to force a fumble and let him in the end zone if it doesn’t work.  Oweh said Singletary was going to go down regardless.

 

This makes me feel like Oweh did the right thing… was really close to a huge play.

I'm not sure I would say that was close to a fumble.

 

It was a hell of a punch from the defender though, RIGHT ON the ball...

 

He had that thing wrapped up with 2 arms and survived the punch out  b/c he was paying attention.

 

I don't see an issue there.

Dingleberry is small, weak, unathletic. We already drafted his replacement in Cook.  Can't wait to see him go and run someone with athleticism back there. 

 

The RB position in this offense has such insane potential for production it's ridiculous watching that get wasted and yardage left on the field. Need someone that can break it to the house. 

 

Hoping Cook is ready to contribute after the bye. 

yeah so small and weak, pretty sure i could beat him up and i am 51 and out of shape lol, the dude is a NFL RUNNING BACK,  none of them are small, weak and unathletic, I hope u being scarcastic

It does matter because you won’t always be so lucky.

 

People often ignore issues because of a win, until they resurface in a loss.

 

Like our inefficiency in short yardage situations. I created a thread about it after the first 2 wins and people said “we won!”

 

Well, yeah. But then we didn’t. And not being able to convert short yardage was part of the problem.

 

But we can all count on you starting a new thread about it if there's any way you can put a negative spin on it.

 

Of course you'd create a thread on it, as you can find a bad angle for this too.

 

How come you've not yet created a thread how we're the #2 defense in the league or the #3 offense.  Then again if you did, I'm sure it would be nothing more than to point out the negative in not being number 1!

 

You must either be the most miserable person in the world or the most desperate to shows others how smart you think you are.

I actually started a thread titled “I’m so proud of this team”, but it was merged into another thread that had nothing to do with my thread.

Start a thread on the Martin punt and I'll definitely post my thoughts on that one play.

Sorry, but that isn’t exactly how a ball should be cradled. One arm over, one arm under and both hands on the ball is the proper technique. The only issue with that is a runner loses speed/agility but it certainly is the most safe form when protecting a football.

Ok Einstein. I get you love Breece, but to create another account and say the same things is just a bit too much.

Your posts have nothing to do with reality, so like there's no difference here.

Whether a teammate bails you out and recovers the fumble is irrelevant to whether you actually fumbled or not.

Singletary absolutely shares blame with Dawkins on that play. It’s not a shortened clip. It’s an angle from behind the QB.
