Marshawn Lynch just isn’t cutting it so far this season for the Buffalo Bills

Marshawn Lynch was suspended at the start of this season by the NFL and he has been very rusty since his return to action.  Lynch has carried the ball 70 times for 217 yards (3.1 ypc) with 1 TD run so far this season.  He has also caught 17 passes for 123 yards (7.2 avg) so far.  The shame in the Bills’ need to play Lynch is that back up Fred Jackson is clearly outplaying him this season.  Jackson has carried the ball 112 times for 445 yards (4.0 ypc) and he has also caught 20 passes for 177 yards (8.9 avg) with a TD grab.  In an effort not to waste Jackson’s ability they now have him returning kickoffs and punts and he is doing a great job for them.  He has returned 11 kickoffs for 301 yards (27.4 avg) and he has also returned 4 punts for 44 yards (11.0 avg) this season.  Jackson deserves to start at running back for the Bills because it appears that he is just better than Marshawn Lynch.  But, Lynch was a first round pick so the Bills feel the need to justify that pick even if it means losing football games.
