    Reality check...Lynch is not that great.

    The guy is slow hitting holes. Fred Jackson hits the holes so much faster. I think this is going to be a problem long term.

    People thought this was nuts a few weeks ago but Jackson needs to start and Lynch needs to come in and pound the ball later on.

    Here we go. The Sky is falling. Everyone on the team sucks and is over rated. Trent is JP Jr. Lynch stinks. The coaches are pathetic.

    Why do some of you even watch on Sundays?

      I don't think Lynch sucks but are you going to argue that he isn't slow to hit holes?

        I think you picked a bad time to rail on Lynch. He averaged 4.7 ypc in that game against a pretty darn good run D.

          Um, Lynch is a stud. You are wrong.

            Lynch has all the moves, and heart that it takes to be an elite back, sadly though his vision for hitting holes is horrible, mix that with this terrible line and you have nothing but problems...

              If you think he's slow hitting holes, you either haven't watched a Bills game in the past season and a half, or you have no idea what you are watching.

              So, yes, I'm going to argue it.

                Lynch thrives on contact. He isn't as squirmy as Jackson is. And until the OL starts openning bigger holes in the middle or Turk admits that his pulling Guard outside runs work better, Lynch will struggle to get his 3 yards a carry and Jackson will be a little more shifty.

                I still like lynch and expect him to continue to do well. They gave up on the run in the 3rd and 4th quarter. Lynch continues to run well late in the game when we are trying to ice it. i'd love to see him get into that groove early. it's going to happen at some point.

                  I agree. Lynch has the talent to be a top running back but there are definitely things he needs to work in order to realize his potential.

                    I just don't get this setiment.

                    How can someone watch the games and say that Lynch isn't very good??? I don't agree he is slow to hit holes AT ALL.

                    This just seems like a thread designed to rile people up.

                      That's what trolls do. They stir up crap just to get a reaction.

                          Okay, no 100 yard games. He's ranked 18th in the league. He has a terrible YPC, but we'll keep telling ourselevs this.

                            This is such BS.

                            NO 100 yard games!!!! None this year. Explain that.

                              This can EASILY be explained by the fact that they do not give him enough carries. They use Jackson almost equally. I don't necessarily have a problem with this but it certainly does not let Lynch get into a groove and pound it out and wear down the D.
