26CornerBlitz Posted October 23, 2013 Share Posted October 23, 2013 @buffalobills Marrone on @CJSPILLER: "He wants to go but we need to make a good decision." Lingering injury hasn't cleared up in 3 weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JPS Posted October 23, 2013 Share Posted October 23, 2013 What a disappointing year from what we thought might be a franchise back. Guess not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frogger Posted October 23, 2013 Share Posted October 23, 2013 I am for resting him, the saints are good and while I don't want to give up on the slight possibility of winning, it serves Buffalo better to rest him. Save him for KC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
need therapy Posted October 23, 2013 Share Posted October 23, 2013 I hope they do rest him and give his ankle time to heal. While I want them to win this week, the Saints are a non-conference team and a win against them does not mean as much in standings and (gasp) playoff scenarios. Get him healthy for the KC game that I think we have a good opportunity to win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big C Posted October 23, 2013 Share Posted October 23, 2013 Sitting him would be the right decision. Get Choice in the game. CJ needs to get healthy and it seems like he keeps exacerbating his injury. He was hardly effective last week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RyanC883 Posted October 23, 2013 Share Posted October 23, 2013 playing Spiller at this point does not help the team win. He is not productive with this injury. (see the Miami game). I'd rather see FJax and Choice. Perhaps some carriers to Summers also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CodeMonkey Posted October 23, 2013 Share Posted October 23, 2013 Playing Spiller last week was a mistake. He was worse than useless. Let it heal so he at least has a chance to contribute. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Big Cat Posted October 23, 2013 Share Posted October 23, 2013 Meanwhile: Spiller: I aint gonna let no ankle injury stop me Spiller on Marrone's comments: nobody knows my body better than me. He can only go off what he sees on film. Spiller says he's 10 times better this week than last week. Him and Marrone telling two different stories today Spi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BillsFan-4-Ever Posted October 23, 2013 Share Posted October 23, 2013 Why? Per my BB app the Bills have one of the best R B duos in nfl so far and both have been injured. http://espn.go.com/nfl/statistics/team/_/stat/rushing Team stats #4 Buffalo 983 total yds, 140.4 ypg http://espn.go.com/nfl/statistics/player/_/stat/rushing/sort/rushingYards/year/2013/seasontype/2 Fred #15 with 4.4 ypc and CJ #18 with 4.0 ypc http://blogs.buffalobills.com/2013/10/22/fred-and-c-j-again-a-productive-duo/ Fred Jackson (380 – 5th) and C.J. Spiller (362 – 8th) each rank in the top 10 in the AFC among 2013 rushing leaders. The Bills are the only NFL team to feature two or more running backs who each have 350 rushing yards or more through Week 7 and the first in the NFL through game seven since 2011 (Houston: Arian Foster and Ben Tate). oh wait I shouldn't confuse people with facts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bangarang Posted October 23, 2013 Share Posted October 23, 2013 Spiller, and RBs in general, have ruined my fantasy teams this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HurlyBurly51 Posted October 23, 2013 Share Posted October 23, 2013 Good, he needs to get that healed. Hope it's not the high ankle variety, though I doubt it because I don't think he would've been playing at all with a high ankle sprain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Up until then, I think we could all agree that he was not on his A game, but he was still useful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His injury hasn't really gotten any better for the last three weeks. Both FJ and CJ have been injured and BOTH still continue to put up good numbers. when both are dinged they throw in Choice. You need THE top 4 running game in the NFL to support the passing game. But if you want the Bills to lose then sure let CJ sit. and I did say I shouldn't confuse people with facts Edited October 23, 2013 by BillsFan-4-Ever Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
