lnych is running hard

[djjimkelly]

still wish this guy would have worked out here he is a tough runner

[The Spaz]

What was his avg. this year?

[X-Era]

Anyone watching Locklear? He's a FA and is looking pretty good.

[evol4276]

i'll be tickled pink if the seahawks do well in the playoffs this year. nothing better than other fans being pissed off haha

[Buffalo Thriller]

Missing beastmode right about now, and wow what a throw by Hassleback!

[TacklingDummy]

Hoping Seattle loses so the 4th round pick will be higher.

[Figster]

Good Football Game :beers:

[evol4276]

wow where has mike williams been all his career? hell, where's hasse;beck been for years?? just making those bombs look easy all day

[methos4ever]

Hasselbeck was a few ref calls away from a fair Superbowl!

And how's a lineup of JP, Beastmode and Lawyer Milloy leading Jabari Greer, Kawika, and Greggo?

[Figster]

Marshawn scores!!!

[X-Era]

What a friggin run!

Did you see him toss that guy?

[djjimkelly]

big mistake we got rid of this guy

should have shipped out spiller

[Buffalo Thriller]

My goodness.

[Thief]

Um, that run was rediculous.

[Mad Max]

Dayum where was that rumbling bumbling stumbling beastmode in Buffalo the last couple of years?

It proves that he's still got it..too bad he doesn't lay it all on the line every down.

[methos4ever]

BEAST. MODE.

[Night Train]

Great play. Good for him !

[Billz_fan]

Awesome run. No it was amazing.

[TheGhostofJimKelly]

What a great run by Beast Mode.

[X-Era]

Wish he would have done that just once while in B-lo.... pretty funny that the guy he tossed was Greer.

[kingJofNYC]

Longest run of his career right?

[Buffalo Thriller]

I was thinking that same thing X.

[NOT THE DUDE...]

BEAST MODE!!!!!!!

[X-Era]

twp picks was still worth it.

[Bangarang]

Does his play in the playoffs help our conditional pick at all?

[Buffalo Thriller]

twp picks was still worth it.
I though we only got a 4th, what else?

[Ebenezer]

twp picks was still worth it.
yes...but if they didn't pick Spiller they would still have had two good backs and could have helped the team some place else.

[X-Era]

Does his play in the playoffs help our conditional pick at all?Don't know but I would imagine so.

[Beebe's Kid]

Beastmode!!!! I still love the guy...they should give us their 2nd for that run alone!!!

[X-Era]

My mistake, It was Tracey Porter that he tossed.

[methos4ever]

Wish he would have done that just once while in B-lo.... pretty funny that the guy he tossed was Greer.
C'mon X...

1st td vs Broncos.

MNF vs Browns.

55 yarder vs Bengals.

Our dysfunction did not solely lie with him. It was a team effort.

[zone]

That run was unreal, but he also has a million fumbles.

[Mr. Pink]

Best playoff game run since Marcus Allen.

[X-Era]

C'mon X...

1st td vs Broncos.

MNF vs Browns.

55 yarder vs Bengals.

Our dysfunction did not solely lie with him. It was a team effort.No disrespect to him intended. I apologize. I loved the guy while he was here. But, his character wasn't a fit and it was a numbers game.

I like what I think Spiller will become. I'm fine with the trade.

[mellocrush19]

BEAST MODE!!

[Mahdi]

wow.

[X-Era]

1:48 left, down 11. Can they come back? I doubt it.

I think it will be hillarious if the 7 and 9 Hawks beat the defending champs. Talk about egg on the whiners faces.

[bigfish2112]

Does his play in the playoffs help our conditional pick at all? Jay Glazer of FOXSports.com is reporting (http://msn.foxsports.com/nfl/story/Marshawn-Lynch-traded-to-Seattle-Seahawks-from-Buffalo-Bills) that the Buffalo Bills (http://www.sbnation.com/nfl/teams/buffalo-bills) have traded running back Marshawn Lynch (http://www.sbnation.com/nfl/players/16657/marshawn-lynch) to the Seattle Seahawks (http://www.sbnation.com/nfl/teams/seattle-seahawks). In exchange for Lynch, Seattle will send a fourth-round pick in the 2011 NFL Draft, and a conditional sixth-round pick in the 2012 draft that can become a fifth-round pick (Adam Schefter (http://twitter.com/#%21/Adam_Schefter/status/26486232346)).

[evol4276]

how nasty of a run can you pull off during the playoffs???? he just threw porter

[streetkings01]

That run was unreal, but he also has a million fumbles.
He's only fumbled 11 times in 57 games and 852 carries.

[X-Era]

Bye Bye Ain'ts.

[sqad5]

Plus if seattle was in the afc he would be running in his backyard

[BuffaloBlitz83]

I'm so happy for Marshawn Lynch. He is like a kid out there! I miss him. I was always Lynch guy. Not a big Jackson guy. Beastmodeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee. The trade was a win in Seattle's eye for that run alone. Best run I ever saw in playoffs. Congrats Marshawn

[Mr. Pink]

Why isn't Seattle just taking a knee?

Bad play calling the last two downs.

[YardRat]

Great run by Lynch.

[methos4ever]

He's only fumbled 11 times in 57 games and 852 carries.
And lost 7, so 3 a year.

[ServoBillieves]

I said out loud "Man, I bet their OC told him to just hold on to the ball."

... That he did........ and much more...

[YardRat]

Loved the stiff arm on Porter.

"Get the **** outta my way!"

[DynaPaul]

That was a serious highlight clip for his entire career. Glad to see he is doing well in Seattle.

[camelcowboy]

Loved the stiff arm on Porter.

"Get the **** outta my way!"porter must be Canadian because lynch ran him over.

[better days]

And lost 7, so 3 a year.

So about the same as Adrian Peterson does in a game.

[Cleve]

That was one of the most amazing runs I've ever seen - loved how Marshawn Lynch just steamrolled that one defender out of the way. Incredible! One of the highlights of the entire season.

[TacklingDummy]

He's only fumbled 11 times in 57 games and 852 carries.
How many 100 yard games out of the 57?

Seattle's OL is no better than Buffalo's.

[Danny Duberstein]

That run was unreal, but he also has a million fumbles.

Really? A million fumbles? Lol. It's amazing how people continue to pretend that Lynch isn't the best RB we had in Buffalo since Thurman.

By the way, Freddy has more fumbles in less carries. And we all know that Spiller will as well. He's already half-way there (5 fumbles this season)

not like the guy was trying to bail it just didn't work out.

Travis is the only one you could make a case for. He was a hard runner. But Lynch runs just as hard, but is also faster and more elusive.

[The Natrix]

You could see the stiff arm happening before it did.

Even though they weren't great overall, Willis and Lynch's stiff arm brought some excitment to the Bills O.

Kind of makes me worry about the Bill's RBs. Spiller is unproven and I love Freddie but he is getting up there.

[Mindbender]

Wow, that run was awesome!

[methos4ever]

http://shwks.com/cvuf

[wmoz11]

No exaggeration - that was one of the best runs I've ever seen, considering circumstance. I was never a huge Lynch fan in Buffalo, but he always had that in him. Damn.

Happy for him.

[TacklingDummy]

Still waiting, how ,many 100 yard games out of 57?

[cocamide]

I love watching Lynch play, but it was the right thing to let him go. Like the OP said, wish it would've worked out for him here.

[BertSquirtgum]

i didn't want them to trade marshawn. i was a fan of his and i still am. i was at work but was able to see the run. i was absolutely floored by how awesome of a play it was. oh, and by the way, i totally understand why the Bills traded him. they got a fair offer and took it. i would have done the same if i were the GM. any more trouble and he's gone for a year, very risky.

[cocamide]

Just watched the Lynch run again. IMO, one of the sickest runs of all time. Wish he did it more than once every blue moon, though.

[Crisis]

Travis is the only one you could make a case for. He was a hard runner. But Lynch runs just as hard, but is also faster and more elusive.

as soon as he got more carries freddie was more productive behind the same line without all the off the field problems.

travis henry's best years were way more productive than marshawn's. even willis had better years than marshawn did.

marshawn had an amazing TD run today, but let's not that cloud our memories to make him more than he is.

[JCBills]

Just watched the Lynch run again. IMO, one of the sickest runs of all time. Wish he did it more than once every blue moon, though.

A run like that only comes once every blue moon, especially for a power back.

[BuffaloBlitz83]

H. Nuts, you speak the truth.

Awesome play, I like Lynch, and I still do...sometimes too many things are said and done, and there was obviously people in Buffalo that were never going to accept Lynch, so it was better to get what we could and move on. I didn't want to trade him, but I understand the move.

If anybody saw the entire game, there was a lot of plays where he did the Beastmode dance, and didn't just get in the hole. That play was clearly an exception, and an all time great run, but let's not get too crazy and say he was the best back since Thurman...Honestly, Freddie runs better than him 95% of the time.

One thing that would be awesome for us to see would be O-Lineman that were down field continuing the run.

Go Marshawn. I'll pull for him like I pulled or Beebe.

[G Wolly]

**** Marshawn.

[TrEd FTW]

Still waiting, how ,many 100 yard games out of 57?

Six. The last one? 2008. Mediocrity.

[JCBills]

Six. The last one? 2008. Mediocrity.

He's been splitting carries with Freddie and Forsett for quite a bit of his career.

[Buddo]

He's been splitting carries with Freddie and Forsett for quite a bit of his career.

And the reason for that would be?
Keep getting 100 yard games, and you keep getting the football.
Stay available for the team (don't get suspended), and you get given the football.
Only guy to blame for all of that, is Lynch himself.

I'm genuinely pleased he's had some success yesterday, but apart from that, he's done very little the last couple of years. When he's not being a dumbass, there's something pretty likeable about the kid, and he does have talent.
As someone else pointed out though, aside from the stiff arm, he had plenty of help from downfield blockers - and without them would have been caught before getting to the endzone. Speedy, he isn't.
Congratulations though, and good luck further down the road (and the Squawks will need it).

[ChristopherWalken]

Awesome run - totally agree.

Some of you guys are missing the point, however. At season start the Bills had 3 RBs with the potential to start. The Bills rebuilding, knowing that they were going to need additional picks in the upcoming drafts because of the lack of interest FA players have coming to Buffalo.

Lynch had been out performed years prior. Throw in the fact that he was wanting a trade, and that the start of this season he was better suited for Dancing with the Stars than the NFL. It was looking as if his trade value was at it's peak. It all boils down to him not fitting in in Buffalo.

I know that its easier hating the deal in retrospect, but I think that the Bills did the right think in moving Lynch.

[better days]

I argued against trading Lynch at the time for only a 4th & yesterdays game proved my point. I expect to see more of the same from Lynch as the Seahawks O-Line improves. I just hope the Bills get a decent player with the low 4th rnd pick they got for him.

[YardRat]

Marcus Allen's jaunt against the Redskins in the Super Bowl has been propped as one of the greatest runs ever.

I think Lynch's is better.

[justasportsfan]

3 former bills move on to the playoffs. Milloy, Lynch and losman. Further proof that Ralph is the bad karma of this team :ill:

[G Wolly]

It's the seahawks.

I wouldn't get too upset.

[YardRat]

They'll be done next week.

Not to mention (for you 'lose and pick higher' fans), their win yesterday locked them into 25th or lower draft position...New Orleans, the Colts, and whoever loses today will pick higher (all with at least 10 wins), as well as St Louis (the team they 'tied' with in their division) at 14, a full 11 spots higher.


The losers of the Divisional playoff games shall select 25th through 28th based on won-lost-tied percentage.
The losers of the Wild Card games shall select 21st through 24th based on won-lost-tied percentage.

[HAMMER]

Excellent run, that was Beast Mode. But Freddy is a better back period, end of story, no comparison. Freddy sees the field so much better than Lynch, Lynch runs to contact, Freddy finds the creases.

[TacklingDummy]

WYS Logic, take away his longest run (67) and he had 18 carries for 64 yards, 3.5 YPA.

One of the few things the Bills did right this season was to get rid of yet another bust.

the bills can never catch a break just like the seahawks just did by making playoffs with a losing record. I think Ralph sold his soul to the devil in the 90's.

Never knew what "Beast Mode" really was.... until yesterday's run.

[G Wolly]

Never knew what "Beast Mode" really was.... until yesterday's run.

Before yesterday, it meant "To hit Canadians with Porsche SUV and steal 20 dollars after getting busted with guns while being an average RB"

[mayotm]

Yeah, Lynch is awesome. That was his first 100 yard game since 12/14/2008.

[zone]

He's only fumbled 11 times in 57 games and 852 carries.
The point I was trying to make is he has lost 7 fumbles in his career and 4 of them were this year. Therefore he has lost a lot of fumbles this year.

[trapezeus]

lynch runs backwards most of the time. literally the play before was classic marshawn. Stutter step, run for contact, get hit behind the line of scrimmage, stay on your feet with 3-4 LB's slapping on the ball.

The next run was awesome. but it happens way too infrequently for it to be something we miss. We get much more consistent runs from freddy.

Now if marshawn runs wild this week, i'll start to regret the loss. but my guess is that we won't see him run like that again for a few years.

The reason Lynch danced behind the line is because he could not see any holes to run through in Seattle or Buffalo before that. As soon as the Seahawks improve their O-line & Lynch does not have to worry about avoiding being tackled in the backfield you will see more runs like that TD run.

[trapezeus]

could be, better days, could be. but i think he thrives for contact. it's shortening his career and making most of his runs maddening. putting aside the few runs that are blasted for a homerun, his tendencies make offenses be in second and long and in a predictable throwing situation.

a running back that takes what is given actually helps his team more even if he can't break the big run. The team holds the ball, gets more formations to run out of, and knows they won't be in down and distance situations.

if we had zero production from our RB, i'd be angry. but as it is, i think we both came out fine. I also think the seahawks better make a sweet run this year, because they've given up too many picks to really be a force for several years after this.

Yeah, um...I was looking for something a little more specific. If you don't know, then stop answering as if you did. It's obvious that a conditional pick will be predicated on better performance, but what exactly constitutes better performance is spelled out in a contract. They don't just give a vague, "if he plays better". It could be yardage based, TD based, it could be record based, playoff based...

Hence my response, 'if you don't know, don't post an answer as if you did.' Your links were not answers - and if anything, were condescending. Obviously the conditional is going to be based on better performances from Lynch.

And I'm not crabby, I'm just interested in the answer which is why I posed the question. Thus far, no one has been able to answer it and my searches have not illuminated any more of those details. It's not important right now given that the pick is really for 2012...but I was just curious.
