rfk Posted December 22, 2014 Share Posted December 22, 2014 He obviously wasn't ready as if he is ever ready...begone Spiller find some other team to be dazzled by your 50 yard runs every 4 games!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RealityCheck Posted December 22, 2014 Share Posted December 22, 2014 I was admittedly thrilled when they got Spiller. As of today, I have finally seen enough. If he isn't on the team next year, it wouldn't bother me one bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bills_fan_in_raleigh Posted December 22, 2014 Share Posted December 22, 2014 He actually had a nice run to the right side that got called back for a hold Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fixxxer Posted December 22, 2014 Share Posted December 22, 2014 They got him back and tried to use him to see if he could do some damage, I don't think we should be mad about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dog Posted December 22, 2014 Share Posted December 22, 2014 WTF? Looking for a play off spot, lets try out the guy who has not been on the field for 7 weeks, he's our best option? The biggest mistake of the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rfk Posted December 22, 2014 Author Share Posted December 22, 2014 He actually had a nice run to the right side that got called back for a hold id suspect he'd have a 100 yard day if the officials ignored all holding Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gray Beard Posted December 22, 2014 Share Posted December 22, 2014 I think some other team with an OC with a little imagination will be able to make Spiller into an effective weapon. I will be interested to see how that goes. I hope Buffalo doesn't decide to spend whatever it takes to keep him. He's not that special. I keep wondering if he would be better as a slot receiver than as a running back. I doubt I will ever find out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thewildrabbit Posted December 22, 2014 Share Posted December 22, 2014 Pretty tough for Spiller to make a play when he is getting hit, and tackled 5 yards behind the line of scrimmage. This happened with LG Kraig Urbik draped all over Raiders D linemen Antonio Smith in the first quarter. The Bills O line had 7 on 5, and it still looked like a jailbreak. The entire Bills offense is the mistake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You don't dump talent to retain doofuses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BringBackFergy Posted December 22, 2014 Share Posted December 22, 2014 We weren't able to get him in space. If we could get their whole D line and linebackers on one side of the field...and our O line and TE on the other side...that would be groovy.

If we could get their whole D line and linebackers on one side of the field...and our O line and TE on the other side...that would be groovy. Why? Hackett would just have him run to the side where the defenders were waiting in an effort to think outside the box. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The entire Bills offense is the mistake. that and the field was re-sodded grass. it was coming out in chunks before the 1st quarter was over. not exactly the best for quick cut guys like CJ. he will do well on a turf field with a good OC and decent blocking. bills wont re- sign him.

Canadian Bills Fan Posted December 22, 2014 Share Posted December 22, 2014 I would not pay him any more than $4.5M next season. If he wants more well best of luck to you CBF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buffalo Beeeews Posted December 22, 2014 Share Posted December 22, 2014 No, he'll sign with a contender and blow the league up ala Lynch. Smh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zonabb Posted December 22, 2014 Share Posted December 22, 2014 To remind everyone of how badly Marrone has damaged his career. Huh? Spiller has horrible vision or a complete fear of cutting the ball up field. He consistently seeks to outrun everyone wide to the sidelines rather than fight up field for tough yards. That's been his MO since day one. It's not on the OL or the coach all the time, it's his style. Why does Fred consistently perform better despite have what we might all agree are inferior skills to CJ? Because he runs more north/south and fights for every yard and isn't trying to hit a homerun without being tackled. Spiller is a colossal bust and exhibit one on why a first round RB is a waste. He's been outplayed by the RB taken a few picks later and the team would have been better off with Iupati or any number of players still on the board. Would they have been better with Iupati and Ben Tate instead of Spiller and Torell Troup? Not playing revisionist but it speaks to the bad drafting of this team and the waste of a pick that Spiller is. Can't wait until someone signs him and this team is burdening by the need to utilize him to justify the puck. Let it go, let it go...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CodeMonkey Posted December 22, 2014 Share Posted December 22, 2014 Maybe they were hoping to boost his trade value. If so, epic fail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
