Where are all the Bryce Brown lovers.... seems like they disappeared all of a sudden. Never should have got rid of SJ. He would be perfect in Hogan's role.

His pregame speech today:
"Guys, ya know, this is obviously a big game. We need to ya know, obviously, execute. Let's go out there and win one. Obviously."

93% of African Americans voted for Obama in the last election. How is it an issue exactly? The significant majority of African Americans overlooked the mixed race "issue" on one of the most important decisions that one can make.

I had the same thought. The Bills seem to devalue interior line play, and what is this getting them? In contrast, Jerry Jones, that draft mastermind, picks G Zack Martin in the first round and he's now in the conversation for offensive ROY.
It makes you wonder whether we would have been better having Martin at Guard, our 1st round pick 2015, Stevie Johnson and Mike Williams playing, as opposed to our current OL, Watkins, no 1st rounder next year and Bryce Brown on our bench.

I hate to actually say this... but he needs to learn to check down. He took some bad sacks that could have been avoided had he looked for a dump-off guy.
Other than that, he was pretty solid on those 10-15 yard throws. It's been a while since we had a QB that can make that throw.
-
Agreed. We had them on their 6 yardline. Needed a stop early to get good field position. Those guys are in shape and need to be on the field for what could have been their last series of the day.

Summary of TBD posters.... All the players on the Bills bench, other team castoff players and street free agents > All of the starters
There's a reason Brown is our #4 RB...

That's gotta be why we made Kiko switch positions - the MLB in Schwartz's defense isn't going to see the field. They seem to be pretty high on Bradham. Eventually it might be Kiko / Bradham on the field for the whole game with Brown taking over for Spikes.

Had EJ or Thad been in the CLE and KC game last year, we would have been 8-8. The game is too fast for him - he panics.

The lower the price, the better for everyone except the Wilson estate. A low sale price will take some of the pressure off jacking up prices of tickets / going all out on a new stadium for additional revenue sources.
-
The problem is Ponder still has a 1st round contract. Good analysis overall though.
-
Overall, I don't totally disagree with the OP, BUT, I'd say let Freddie play himself out of the lineup. Don't assume he is old and can't play, etc. Right now, there is nothing proving he still can't play. You might be right, but let's see it play out on the field.

What's funny is everyone has been in love with Pegula as owner. If a Gundlach/Kelly/ potentially Golisano group steps up will everyone be disappointed? Will people start rooting against Jim Kelly? Or if Pegula gets it - are people upset he took the team away from Kelly? I'm happy either way - just keep away from JBJ.
-
If you are JBJ, don't you just find the biggest idiot that somehow has a "respected" public voice and convince him to say whatever you want?
-
Barden - How do you get cut after the 1st practice? How bad did he look??
-
He will be a better back than Spiller. I haven't backpedaled You just don't know how to argue, you rely on snide comments and posts with no substance.
Here;s what I said in post #77.
I like CJ on this team as a #2 guy. Best case scenario, Freddy produces for a few years, CJ gets signed to a reasonable deal, and Bryce Brown becomes our #1 with CJ staying in his CJ role.
Did you see what I said there? I said in a few years. I marked it as best as I could. You know what that means? It means not this year.
CJ > Brown.
Bryce Brown
College - 476 career rushing yards, 4.6 avg., 3 TDs, 140 Rec yards, 1 TD. Not invited to NFL Combine.
Pro - 878 career rushing yards, 4.6 avg. 6 TDs, 12 Receptions
CJ Spiller
College - 4,480 career rushing yards, 5.9 avg, 32 TDs, 1362 Rec yards, 12 TD. 8 Special teams TDs. ACC Player of year, consensus All American.
Pro - 3,015 career rushing yards, 5.1 avg., 12 TDs, 139 Receptions
In case anyone is curious - if Spiller stays at 5.1 avg. for a career, that is tied for #6 all time, and #4 as a RB. He's doing fine.
-
If you want to know the difference between CJ and the top 15 RB's in the league, look no further than the first down stat. The top ten are McCoy, Forte, Charles, Lynch, Lacy, AP, Morris, Gore, Murray and woah? Fred Jackson coming in hot at #10.
Where's Spiller? Oh he's back at #45, getting beat out by Terelle Pryor, Steven Jackson, Danny Woodhead. And he's two first downs in front of those other fantastic RB's, like RG3, Andrew Luck, Alex Smith, Bobby Rainey? Fun fact, Spill's had either almost double, or almost triple the amount of attempts of anyone around him in this list, yet was right there in terms of FD conversions (except for Steven Jackson). Conclusion? Spiller sucks at keeping drives alive, perhaps the most important thing an RB can do besides score TD's.
McCoy played 12 games that year, not 15.
McCoy, with 12 games in 2012, doubled Spiller's FD stat in 15 games in 2013. On almost the same number of attempts. The players aren't even close.
Bryce Brown in 2012, on 115 attempts, had more first downs than 2013 Spiller. Fred Jackson in 2012, on 115 attempts, had 1 less first down than 2013 Spiller. This is the one stat that exemplifies his weakness as a player.
I understand the "cool" thing is for everyone to hate on CJ, which everyone does on and off the board. I disagree - I think he's one of our best players. I don't think CJ is the issue - if we had McCoy or Peterson, we'd still be in the same spot.
At this point, what would you like the team to do? Let him go at year end? Ride 33 year old Fred Jackson for a couple more years? Draft another RB?
-
How many games has he had 10 carries or less? A lot.
That's pretty good. Lesean McCoy almost doubled that. I can't believe McCoy almost doubled "the next Barry Sanders."
How many TD's did CJ have? How many blocks did he miss?
CJ better hit his Hall of Fame stride quick, he's only got a couple more years.
McCoy is sick - probably the best RB in the league right now. But look at his 2012 stats - looks pretty close to CJ in 2013. I'm not saying give him McCoy money, but don't wait until CJ puts up another 2012 campaign.
-
I heard this quote last year. Many times actually.
He had 927 last year averaging 4.6 ypc. Pretty good considering he ran on a sprained ankle all year. His stats in 2012 are reflective of his production when healthy.
-
CJ is going to have a big year. Extend him now before he looks for a max deal. RBs are not getting paid in 2014 - giving him no leverage.
-
$1.082 B - Bon Jovi / Rogers Group. About a 30% premium on where it should go. They get the approval when they "promise" to keep the team in NY.
FWIW, as fans, I would get nervous over these $1B+ deals. It makes it incredibly hard to make the ROR these guys are looking for without substantially raising prices. Ticket prices might need to be 2x-3x.

Trump does everything through leverage. The only way to have a profitable team is minimal or no debt or be in a bigger market. This isn't going to happen.
-
If the renovation truly makes the concourse space a place where you actually want to hang out - I think it's a good idea. If the weather stinks in December, etc. I'd go in a little earlier than normal if they had good bars / food / restrooms. Good idea as long as they make those solid.

But Leif Larson killed Brady in the benchpress... so we've got that going for us

Someone should pose this question to Marrone and get his reaction. I'm sure he doesn't know this. He gets caught off guard all the time with statistics
