Endless Ike

I'm glad you geniuses aren't running this show. what were you expecting today? We were almost instantly in a hole. Of course he's not going to get touches. We're going to bash our RB for not being able to haul in a 60 yard bomb over his shoulder? Is that what we drafted him for? He wasn't drafted to be a WR, and he's never played WR the fact that he got open deep in teh secondary should be to his credit.... Dear idiot what-have-you-done-for-me-lately, fantasy football "expert", mouth breathing slob of a fan: You don 't know **** about football. Spiller has done pretty well with the opportunities he's been given. The problem is that Fred is clearly a No. 1. Now maybe he shouldn't have been drafted where he was with a team that had both Lynch and Jackson when he was picked. Thats fine. But that says nothing about his talent, which is substantial. YOu give the guy 15 carries a game and he'll do just fine.

Since you've brought it up, what's your living situation and football background?

http://www.cato.org/pubs/regulation/regv23n2/coates.pdf http://thesportdigest.com/archive/article/economic-impact-sports-facilities Publicly financed stadiums are almost never worth the expense in the end, regardless of how you run the numbers. They might have psychic benefits to residents but its blatantly and inarguably NOT a money maker for the taxpayers and the government. Arguing otherwise is an exercise in ignorance. Numbers don't lie, and people like you don't actually improve the taxbase...study after study say so

No they couldn't play the super bowl in buffalo. Not without about 5,000 more hotel rooms at nice new hotels. The hotel stock in buffalo is largely outdated. There are probably a handful of hotels in the area that wouldn't be embarassing for the tens of thousands of high-rolling out of towners to stay at.

This isn't complicated. If he made in Buffalo what he makes for the Jets, he'd still be here. You simply can't pay a guy that much money for him to be a situational player. It's madness

It's true enough. It can take weeks to get it sorted out, and in the meanwhile, the money's gone from your account. In addition, most banks put a time period on how long their refund policy covers, so if you don't catch the fraud for 2 or 3 weeks, they'll tell you to pound sand. I canceled my debit card for exactly this reason. I now have an old-school ATM card (no visa/mastercard logo), and some credit cards.

Then start saying goodbye to a national fanbase...if the NFL wants a national fanbase they need to have teams outside of the top 10 or 15 markets. If the NFL has to chip-in for a stadium than so be it.

It will go great with your T.O. jersey

The reason the packers atrium thing is a YEAR ROUND success is because it is attractive to non-packer fans...largely the same reason that Wrigley and Fenway have such an attraction even to non-cubs and non-sox fans. It's about the history of THE GAME, not one franchise. Nobody but bills fans is going to give a crap about Ralph Wilson Stadium. Take off your fan goggles, guys. Let's be honest, even amongst Bills fans who's going to drive out to Orchard Park in the off-season to buy Tchotchkes from the team store and look at a fancy atrium and an empty stadium more than once? Maybe people who already live out there? I know I sure wouldn't. And for the record, every team has the right to celebrate their history, but its a joke to think that every team or most teams should spend hundreds of millions of dollars to build a temple to their mediocrity next to their stadium. Most teams are historically mediocre, by definition. The Bills are one of them.

Nobody's coming to the magical bills history tour because the bills have been a joke for 40 of their 50 years...maybe when the bills have won 13 league championships in 6 different decades instead of 2 championships in a single decade we can talk...

He played elsewhere before coming to the NFL...those hits still count

Yeah, that 7 ypc average is the mark of a really ineffective runner... A couple reasons 1) end arounds rarely work, there's way too mcuh team speed in teh NFL. 2) the only way they work is if you run something to set them up...that doesn't have to be a fake, but it has to be somethign out of a similar formation and upfront blocking. With so much speed you need someone to bite away from where the play is going.

I turned down an offer while unemployed because I thought they were screwing me; 2 weeks later comparable job at another company, 20%+ higher pay. Know what you're WORTH, man

McLovin really has zero ball skills...even when he puts himself into a good position, as soon as the ball gets there, he's all twisted inside of himself

He was still playing, still getting hit, still running into things. He just wasn't doing it in the NFL

Almost no one in the NFL uses proper form while tackling. They're too big and too strong for it to make a difference 99% of the time, so they don't do it.

Cowherd is a well known contrarian. he did it to sucker the idiots who listen to call in and yell at him.

God, we've played one awful team and one ok team that we beat on the very last play of the game. Be excited, but don't be foolish. I think we could easily lose every single one of the NFC East games. At best the giants and redskins are toss-up type games, while cowboys and eagles we are going to be underdogs. We could also lose all 4 to the pats and the jets very easily. In fact, I, like you, would bet on losing 3 of 4. I think 8-8 is a healthy amount of optimism. This is still a team with losing in its blood, and its a team with a lot of young guys in key spots on offense. That means brainfarts

You were probably really happy about that Dick Jauron mid-season extension too, huh? He had two good games against one mediocre and one awful team....lets keep our heads. We could easily still be a 6-10 team this season. Bills had a very easy starting schedule...that won't last

I think you're crazy. 4 more years of this? I just don't see it. He'll probably suffer an injury at some point that will just linger and that will be that. Just because he wasn't in the NFL, it's not like he wasn't playing football...he was still getting hit, and that's going to catch up with everyone eventually.

he played guard in college, and the bills had him at tackle...usually college players go the other way around.

I believe carson palmer could be an elite quarterback if he was on a decent team. The bengals are horrid, I would honestly feel bad for Andrew Luck if thats where he goes.

yeah, i would just be all sorts of broken up if every starting QB in the league got hurt and the bills won the superbowl with an asterisk next to their name...

More than 10, I'm sure
