The truth is that Lynch was gaining tough yards all day long to help his team build a lead. That big run was just the icing on the cake. Give credit where credit is due.

Yup his 3.5 per carry b4 that 67 yarder really did wonders :-k

Take out the biggest runs of the game and even the best runners have bad YPC's.

Jacksons longest run of the year was longer. Jackson scored the game winning TD in the first round of the playoffs. Jackson has a better yards per carry average and if you add in receiving yards, Jackson is more productive. Jackson also didn't fumble like Lynch did.
Jackson was also on the roster and we wouldn't have had to cut another running back to get him for what probably would have been a 2nd round pick. Seattle's picks were going to be higher in the draft than the Packers. Our 3 wouldn't carry as much credit as the Seahawks. The 4th and the conditional were pretty close to our 3rd. We would have had to beat that with at least a 2nd.
Starks even had more yards than Lynch this weekend. He had 123 rushing, 9 receiving and 20 return yard. Compared to Lynch's 131.
That is even with that one good run Lynch had.
Now, what did we miss out on?
I want to go out like my Grandpa did. Peacefully in his sleep.
Not screaming in terror like his passengers.
