Would you take Lynch rushing for 2000 Yards??

[DraftBoy]

No this is not a stupid question. Here is the scenario, never in the history of the NFL has a player rushed for 2000 yards and his team not made the playoffs, heck only five players in NFL history have ever done it. So would you all like to see Lynch do it, and it would give us a high likelihood of making the playoffs.

Yes there is a catch of course, but I want to see if anybody can figure it out.

I suppose if he runs over LB's like they are pedestrians, it is possible.

Im not asking if it is possible or not, Im asking if you'd like to see it happen.

What is the catch?

Did none of them win the SB?

BTW, the Bills did not make the playoffs in 1973 so your premise is incorrect.

Wikipedia lies then!

You'll find out the catch once you answer the question. And No it has nothing to do with Superbowls.

You are too slow on this one, but still nobody will answer the question!

Re: Would you take Lynch rushing for 2000 Yards??

Ok...I'll take a stab:

Is it conceivable?

Yes.

Likely?

Meh.

OJ ran for 2003 (in 14 games) behind a line that had been together only for one season.

1973 was his 5th year in the league though. Plus OJ was a sprinter in college.

Watching Lynch in college, he reminds me more of Thurman or Cribbs.

And this isn't the Pac-10.

So I would be skeptical.

1200...1300...good bet.

2000?

I doubt it.

That's the problem with using unreliable sources, rather than the Doc and Historian.

For gods sake, does anybody read anymore??

Im not asking is it feasible, Im asking if you want it to happen, I dont care about if its realistic or not.

How do we know if we want it to happen w/ knowing the consequences?

You admit there is more to the story, but won't tell us what it is.

Would he retire? Be suspended for a year? Suffering a career ending injury? Get arrested for selling crack so he can buy teenage boys? Announce he is a Hillary supporter? Be on "Dancing with the Stars"?

On the surface, we all want the playoffs. But if the consequences are too severe, we might wait.

Re: Would you take Lynch rushing for 2000 Yards??

Okay...YES...unless we traded him to the fish.

[Jan Reimers]

Re: Would you take Lynch rushing for 2000 Yards??

Announcing he's a Hillary supporter would be the worst.

I guess it would be coo to see a Bills RB get 2,000 yards, but actually Matthew, I'm more concerned w/ the TEAM winning a championship than I am a player reaching an individual goal. For the sake of your question though, I guess I'd say that I would like to see it.
