Why didn't Freddy Jackson get the ball Sunday?

Anyone have any idea why he didn't get the ball at all Sunday?

We just didn’t have that many opportunities to get me out there I was told.,” Jackson said. ”We ran 19 plays in the first half. When you have a guy like Marshawn you’re going to try to get him the ball as many times as you can too. It was unexpected"

From Chris Browns' Blog.

I understand we weren't on offense much, but I feel he's been an important, and somewhat of a bright spot for the Bills offense this year. I don't think he could be an any down back in the NFL, but he is a great complement to a runner like Marshawn. I would have liked them to at least try him out and see if it would have broke the monotony of the offense on Sunday.

Freddy wasn't even in on kick returns

I wonder if something was wrong with Jackson honestly. He wasn’t in on offense or kicks. I dunno.

He was definitely not injured. Clearly he should have been involved. Any time this offense has been successful it has been because Fred was contributing in a big way. Along with many other Bills fans on this board, I am dissapointed in Both Dick Jauron and Turk Schonert for the poor play calling last game.

It is a possibility that the organization could bring in Josh Daniels, the current offensive coordinator of the Patriots, to be the new head coach. I haven’t read anything about that, it’s just something I suspect. The reason he would have to replace Jauron is because he probably would demand a head coaching position, not positive though. I guess it is feasible that he could be our OC next year.
