Spiller will get 2,500 yards rushing next year!! It will stand until the 20 game season in 2030.

That's a college game for you, things happen. You'll have a tough time finding one player with 301 All purpose yards in one NFL game that didn't end up on the winning side.

If Spiller gets 301 all-purpose yards in the NFL, the Bills will probably win the game.

I wish him the best, he's the Bills biggest bust.

I hear the same, thanks for the heads up.

The goal was for Bills LT Demetrius Bell to be good to go come training camp. It appears as though that will be the case, but pounding out two-a-days coming off a long knee rehabilitation is not on the docket to start. “He’s really doing good,” said Bills GM Buddy Nix. “We’re going to try to be smart with him and not take him out there and grind him twice a day. But he’s really further along than we had hoped at this time.” That’s certainly good news for Buffalo’s left tackle position where Bell is expected to compete primarily with second-year man Jamon Meredith with fifth-round pick Ed Wang also a candidate. Nix was asked if he considered adding a more veteran offensive tackle to the mix. Here was his response. “You’d like maybe to add a guy to the mix,” said Nix. “We’ve been down this road before, if it’s a clear improvement at the position then you do it, but if it’s not then I don’t think you retard the process and you hope these young guys go through. http://blogs.buffalobills.com/2010/07/28/bell-good-to-go/

I think it's nice to see the press say we might actually score this season.

Spiller was the most explosive offensive threat drafted in 2010. In need of a playmaker at wide receiver, the Bills surprised many when they selected the multi-dimensional Spiller with the ninth overall pick. The Bills have a crowded RB depth chart that features Fred Jackson and Marshawn Lynch, and it could be challenging for Spiller to achieve 10 touchdowns on the ground this season. However, coach Chan Gailey stated that Spiller could split out wide as a receiver in certain packages, which would create matchup problems for the opposition and open another avenue to get him involved in the offense; the result is more opportunities to reach paydirt. Said Bills GM Buddy Nix, on Spiller's ability to get in the end zone: "He's a playmaker. He's a guy that creates field position and scores points. He's exciting. We need some excitement, somebody that can make a big play and create some things on their own." http://www.cbssports.com/nfl/draft/story/1...-impact-in-2010

That's sort of frustrates me a bit but it's the nature of the beast right now.

Steve Wyche of NFL.com is reporting that the Buffalo Bills have agreed to terms on a deal with second-round pick Torell Troup. Financial terms of the deal are not yet available, but Wyche reports that it's a four-year deal. Bills rookies and veterans alike are reporting to St. John Fisher College today in anticipation of tomorrow's first training camp practice, and it appears that Troup will be able to participate in those activities with his deal in place. He'll compete with veteran Kyle Williams for the starting nose tackle role in the team's new 3-4 defense. http://www.buffalorumblings.com/2010/7/28/...up-spiller-deal

Jackson said he has spoken to C.J. and believes he knows how important it is to get to camp soon. “In talking to him I know he wants to be here,” said Jackson. “(The contract situation) always plays a role in getting off on the right foot and the sooner you can get here the better and he knows that.” http://blogs.buffalobills.com/2010/07/28/fred-on-c-j/

Who is going to make up his 10 sacks from last season, Maybin?? We better hope he comes back.

They can't afford to change them, they had them rekeyed.

Yeah, I would pass on spending $4 M on this guy again. Sorry but the run is done, I appreciate his professionalim.

I am very sorry to repeat this, I did not see the other thread. Please hang me by any organ you wish.

Kraft makes these up as needed, tuck rule included.

It's almost like twister with a little more contact, that's what they want. Flag football is where we are heading.

Big hits look ill advised & almost assure some type of 15 yard penalty, so much for great TV.

Everyone knows about the overtime rule change for the postseason this year, but there are a few others for 2010 as well as some points of emphasis for the officials. Here’s the rundown. 1 – Expanion of defenseless player rule Last year it was illegal for a player to hit a defenseless player with their helmet, shoulder or forearm. That’s been expanded and made more specific to include the following. It’ll be illegal to hit any defenseless player if the initial force of the contact is made by a player’s helmet, shoulder or forearm is to the head or neck area. Such players include… A QB in the act of throwing A WR in the act of making a catch A KR/PR in the act of catching a kick A RB who is in the grasp whose forward progress has been stopped A QB after change of possession A K/P after the ball is kicked Penalty for this is unecessary roughness and a 15-yard walk off. 2 – No launch rule If a receiver has completed a catch, but has not had time to protect himself, a defensive player is prohibited from launching into him, in which a defensive player’s helmet, shoulder or forearm are used to forcibly strike the receiver in the head or neck area. (They’re trying to prevent defenders from leaving their feet and turning their helmet into a weapon). Penalty for this is also 15 yards for unnecessary roughness. 3 – Snapper protection (expanded) The snapper on punts and kicks is in a defenseless position with his head down at the start of a play. Last year a rule was instituted to prevent opponents on the line of scrimmage from lining up over him, but there were still instances where his safety was at risk, so to expand the rule opponents on the line of scrimmage must line up with their entire body outside of the snapper’s pads on FGs and punts, otherwise it’s a 5-yard illegal formation penalty. 4 – Helmet off rule Starting this year the ball is going to be called dead immediately if a ball carrier’s helmet comes off. Spot of the ball will be where the helmet of the runner came off. 5 – Muffed fair catch rule After a fair catch signal is given the opportunity for the kicking team to recover a punt continues, but the returner now must be given a “reasonable chance” to recover the ball before it hits the ground without interference from the other team. If not the ball will be spotted like a fair catch, but no penalty yardage will be assessed. 6 – Dead ball personal foul at end of half or game Penalty yardage for a dead ball personal foul at the end of the half or game will be assessed in the 2nd half or overtime if the game is tied at the end of regulation. 7 – 2010 postseason overtime possession rule Each team will have a chance to possess the ball once in overtime. If the team that wins the toss in OT scored a touchdown on their first possession however, the game is over. If they score a FG the game is not over and the other team will have a chance to possess. Keep in mind the chance to possess is not the same as possession, meaning that if a receiving team is returning a kickoff and the returner fumbles and the other team recovers that will count as their chance to possess in overtime come the playoffs. Remember if neither team scores on their first possession in overtime, regular sudden death rules apply. Other points of emphasis for officials Sportmanship – taunting and gesturing at opponents will be strictly enforced Gesturing to officials – Exaggerated gesturing to officials to throw flags for fouls will be prohibited

There we remain.

When Chan Gailey was an assistant coach with the Pittsburgh Steelers from 1994 to '97, he saw the havoc a 3-4 defense can cause. During that four-year span, the Steelers never ranked lower than sixth in defense and averaged 49 sacks per season. Is it any wonder Gailey made the 3-4 his defense of choice when he was hired as the Buffalo Bills' head coach? "Having been around it, I realize all the different looks that you can get from 3-4 personnel," Gailey said. "I thought that in looking at it, the diversity, I don't want to say overwhelming, but it was drastically different from the four-man front. I think it's the right defense for us." http://www.buffalonews.com/sports/article81981.ece
