Default Did Maroney look better?

The game wasn't on here so I don't know how he looked today. I seen he ran for 100 yds but was he looking better and hitting the holes faster?
Brady to Moss and co is fine and will set some Pats records but I love the running game. When your in the playoffs and want to kill the clock you need to get that 2/3 yds in the final few minutes to ice the game.
What do you think?
thanks

Unfortunately, he didn't get any TDs, but he got quite a few first downs. And yeah, he did seem to do less shuffling behind the line of scrimmage.

I have now watched the jets game and the chargers game at least 3 times each and I find the "Lo-Mar is dancing too much" line to be WAY overplayed here. He has looked really good - not perfect, a LITTLE dancing - in every game, and today he looked the best so far. This running game is looking very good, IMO. No worries whatsoever.

The OL seems to be comfortable with the zone blocking scheme for Maroney. At least that is what I think they are doing out there for Maroney. It looks like controlled chaos for the OL - after the snap find someone to block.

When he doesn't dance, he looks like Eric Dickerson running the ball.

Excellent comparison, I thought the same.

Sure he looked better. However, a better runner would have had 200 yards. The Bills were dreadful against the run, after their injuries.

The Pats ran more than passing today and Maroney finally got an opportunity to get in a groove. Not to mention the pats O-line wore down the bills d-line.

he split carries with morris, faulk and a couple with evans.

the day of the dominating back seems to have dwindled.
