Logical Reasoning Posted December 10, 2012 Share Posted December 10, 2012 The runs he makes, the overall speed and quickness, and the anxiety he brings to defensive coordinators makes him easily one of the scariest backs in all of football. I like Chan but to imply that he gets tired or that it is just his time off and Fred's time on is foolish and insulting to me as a fan. This is not to say that Fred can't be the leader he is, but we are talking about a player that can take it the distance any time. The post game comments were pathetic. Sullivan crushed him and for the first time in as long as I can remember, the other reporters rode Sullivan and didn't let Gailey off the hook. There were no answers regarding seven touches because there really are no answers for that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bobobonators Posted December 10, 2012 Share Posted December 10, 2012 Look at teams like the vikings, jets, and even seahawks (though russel has def been playing solidly): they win for the most part in spite of their QB play. Good defense, run the ball, ask your QB to make just enough plays. Here in buffalo, it's the opposite. Chan passes to set up the run apparently. I don't get it. Our biggest threats on offense are our RBs and the focal point of the offense in a close, low-scoring, snowy/rainy game is the pass. !@#$ing pathetic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billy in 4C Posted December 10, 2012 Share Posted December 10, 2012 Right when they drafted Spiller they said they would start him off easy and feel he will be essentially rested for when they have a playoff team. I still think they are still using this philosophy but they can't talk about it because they said they would have a playoff team by now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are no answers. He saw it himself against Jacksonville last week - I don't see why he didn't use the same blueprint just because the weather wasn't as bad. Of course, when it comes time to kick a 52-yard FG, the weather probably was horrible. Edited December 10, 2012 by BuffaloWings Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrags Posted December 10, 2012 Share Posted December 10, 2012 the FJ CJ talk is moot as Fred is injured again CJ will get his carries come Sunday and maybe longer. Yiur forgetting that we still have Tashard Choice. Chans little gimp. He was the first back on the field after Fred got injured. He was also in for most, if not all of the remaining drive. I'm willing to drop a 5 spot that Choice will get more carries than CJ this week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VirginiaMike Posted December 10, 2012 Share Posted December 10, 2012 I'mnot sure what CJ's contract status is (how many years left), but I don't see him signing back with Buffalo, given the way he's been treated. I do not understand the reasonoing to holding him back and not giving him the carries. And when he does pass block, he may not be the best, but he''s far from the worst I've seen. It's sad to waste such a talent given the lack of talent on this offense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMadCap Posted December 10, 2012 Share Posted December 10, 2012 even more strange is that Gailey was responsible for drafting him, it's not as though he was a left over from Limp Richard's tenure... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bills44 Posted December 10, 2012 Share Posted December 10, 2012 Didn't Chan Gailey say he wanted Spiller to have 60% of the carries? Since that proclamation, Spiller has had about 38% of the carries (excluding scrambles by Fitz, and runs by Brad Smith and T.J. Graham). Maybe he meant that it was FJ's "turn" to get 60% of the carries. Or, maybe Chan is talking out his ass again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bills_fan_in_raleigh Posted December 10, 2012 Share Posted December 10, 2012 this morning Chan tried to defend that Freddie is so much a better pass blocker and teams do less stacking of the line when fred is in versus CJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bills44 Posted December 10, 2012 Share Posted December 10, 2012 So, you think Chan is a compulsive liar. What else has Chan lied about? I don't think that Spiller told Gailey that he was winded after 2 runs early in the 2nd half. I suppose it is possible, though, given that Gailey rode Spiller in the 1st half, to the tune of 4 carries. Also, I'm pretty sure that I never said that Gailey was a "compulsive liar". You like making **** up, no? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
