Peter Posted October 20, 2014 Share Posted October 20, 2014 yeah. He had a long run. Probably ran out of bounds. Got caught from behind. Didn't get the TD. And ended up with a season ending injury. The only thing that could have capped it all off was a fumble at the end of the run. #lastplayeverinabillsuniform You remind me of Bucky and Sully - not in a good way.

bobobonators Posted October 20, 2014 Share Posted October 20, 2014 Really bummed out about spiller. Hopefully FJ can make it back shortly after the bye but spiller has to be done for season. Lets see what Brown can do Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RyanC883 Posted October 20, 2014 Share Posted October 20, 2014 Even though we disagree on Spiller, I still respect you as a poster. But gloating on a guy getting injured is a bad look. Lack of class and I thought you were better than that. Get well CJ. Sorry Nate Hackett wasted you. hopefully CJ's last game with "can't Hackett." Need a real OC here next season.

TheBillsWillRiseAgain Posted October 20, 2014 Share Posted October 20, 2014 I feel really bad for Spiller. He's a really, really good kid. He's quietly just as humble as they talk about Watkins being. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simpleman Posted October 20, 2014 Share Posted October 20, 2014 Huh? He was gone in the second Q. He helped tie the game... The last I knew it does not matter when during the game that points are scored, they just have to be scored between the start and finish of the game. Setting up a 3 point score in a game won by 1 point makes the difference between a win and a loss. Points scored in the first 3 quarters are = to points scored in the last. His play was not any less critical for the win than was Hogan's catch in the final seconds of the game to set up the 7 point TD drive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How about every game he had less than 100 yards? How about every game where he failed to run forward 3 yards for a 1st down to continue a drive? We could go on and on about it. The haters refuse to give the guy any credit. nope. The lover just love drooling over his "potential" too much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djp14150 Posted October 20, 2014 Share Posted October 20, 2014 ProFootballTalk @ProFootballTalk 35s36 seconds ago Source: C.J. Spiller will have surgery tomorrow to repair broken collarbone, and he is done for the season. If he has surgery he can be back in 6-8 weeks. His season may not be done. Buffalo could wait and see how he is doing in a few weeks and then decide to IR him. He is an asset worth holding onto should Buffalo be battling for a playoff spot and even make the playoffs.

The lover just love drooling over his "potential" too much. You mean his potential for a 50 yard run, of which he had one today? He is a player who needs to be used correctly. He is not a guy you give the rock 25-30 times a game, and he is not a typical between-the-tackles runner. His field vision is not terrific, but he is dynamite in space. It needs not be sugarcoated nor minimized. He is a useful player in the NFL, just probably not the kind of guy who should go 9th overall. That is not his fault, and he can still blow a game open regardless. As for why he doesn't more often, this should be blamed on the coaches, not him personally.

Big Turk Posted October 20, 2014 Share Posted October 20, 2014 Sort of like Kelly's last game @ Rich Stadium I was at that game...we all sat there in stunned silence as the upstart Jags with Natrone Means and Mark Brunell pulled the upset...back then we thought we were unbeatable in home playoff games...

Sumin Posted October 20, 2014 Share Posted October 20, 2014 yeah. Why would they keep him on the roster when they could sign another kicker. Are you done with your crusade? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bobobonators Posted October 20, 2014 Share Posted October 20, 2014 AMAZING how much hate people have towards players and/or the team in general after a WIN. Makes you wonder how much $$$ people lose each week placing bets they can't afford. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Punching Bag Posted October 20, 2014 Share Posted October 20, 2014 This looked like a pretty severe break to me. He was in tremendous pain, especially as they were carting him off. It looks like one of the breaks where it breaks in several pieces which is the worst. My recovery time was long. Luckily Buffalo has some of the best doctors in the country. Spiller might be more useful as WR than a RB next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everyone, pause with me. Close your eyes, week 17 is here and it is all on the line for the championship. We're playing NE, Spiller is back and been used sparingly in week 16. Week 17, the game is about over. NE scores to go ahead 6 with just seconds left. Spiller there returning the ball. Catches it...runs it back... all the way. I think I would never say anything negative about the guy again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So is short-term IR only applicable to a guy who has been injured in TC /pre-season? Or could it apply here? I think they can't afford to waste a roster spot on him but it would certainly be great to have the option to bring him back. As Rubes says, this looks like the worst kind of collarbone injury, so I wouldn't expect him back on the short side of the recovery time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rubes Posted October 20, 2014 Share Posted October 20, 2014 (edited) For those of you looking for the difference in perspective with Aaron Rogers' injury, here's the story and video: Highlight from NFL.com Like they say in the video, they suspected he had a "small break" in his collarbone, nothing like what CJ suffered. You can even see how he doesn't appear to be in that much pain afterward, especially as he goes jogging off the field moving both arms normally. CJ, it appeared, could barely tolerate the movement of the cart as he was brought off. Aaron Rogers, by the way, was out for 7 weeks. He returned 8 weeks after the injury against the Bears in the season finale, and I recall watching the game that while he played well, he probably shouldn't have returned.

DC Greg Posted October 20, 2014 Share Posted October 20, 2014 When he was carted off (presumably crying under the towel) I thought this is the final memory. It made me sad. Well, my memory will be him busting off a CJ Spiller style run around the outside, like a boss. Too bad for him. Glad he reminded everyone of his talent on that run. Hope he's not gone.

Not "hating" (what is this...high school??)---the guy said Spiller helped set up the "game winning score". He just redefined "game winning score" as "any score any time in a close win".
