Bills Fan888 Posted December 24, 2006 Share Posted December 24, 2006 He just isn't the player he used to be. Too many missed tackles today. 876940[/snapback] I feel the same way. We could either have Ellision start or get Lance Briggs but i don't think TKO will leave. At least make him take a pay cut. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Too many missed tackles today. 876940[/snapback] I'm off of the Spikes train, he missed many tackles today and his lateral movement is horrible. See ya TKO.

Mike formerly from Florida Posted December 24, 2006 Share Posted December 24, 2006 I'm off of the Spikes train, he missed many tackles today and his lateral movement is horrible. See ya TKO. 877040[/snapback] First of all, you just GOT to give him one more off-season before he fully recovers from a devastating injury. He WILL be better next year...not what he was, but maybe 90%. Second, don't forget, we used to describe defenders trying to tackle Travis as a "bowling ball with pins." PATIENCE.

Deep2Moulds46 Posted December 24, 2006 Share Posted December 24, 2006 I dont know...I thought he looked like the Spikes of old on that ridiculous celebration when he actually made a tackle at the beginning of the 2nd half. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jarthur31 Posted December 24, 2006 Share Posted December 24, 2006 Wow how is this a shock everyone suddenly? Look at Cowart! He never regained his PB form. That is one example out of dozens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike1011 Posted December 24, 2006 Share Posted December 24, 2006 Spikes is older than Peterson, older than Cowart, and he is done. Sorry boys and girls he is DONE. The fork has been inserted and he needs to take a major paycut. Seeing him stop one play and celebrating isn't the same thing as watching 80% of all running calls on his side of the field and him looking below average.

Whitner20 Posted December 25, 2006 Share Posted December 25, 2006 Did you see Travis run him over in the 4th qrtr?That shocked the hell out of me. 876968[/snapback] Yeah, i turned to my buddy and was like OMG did you see that? Spikes went to push Henry out of bounce, and Henry got 3 yards of it with a stiff arm. The old Spikes would have nailed Henry for a no-to -1 yard on that play. But also, many plays in the game where they went after Spikes and he was pushed off or was too slow to get it to. He also had a few missed tackles. Very disappointing to watch because i love Spikes so much and i know he's playing hurt but for his money he is not worth it for our team who is ready to make the turn to being a playoff team.

I'm talking about a different play shortly after that where Travis went off-tackle and Spikes came up to meet him and Travis just mowed right over him like he was a 220lb rookie 'backer.

MrLocke Posted December 25, 2006 Share Posted December 25, 2006 Only way he stays is if he takes a major paycut. Can anyone tell us how much it would cost to cut him? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billsfanone Posted December 25, 2006 Share Posted December 25, 2006 I hope Spikes can continue to rehab. He's obviously not 100%. I didn't realize he was even in the game until Travis stiff armed him in the chest and knock him backwards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CT/Fordham Bills Fan Posted December 25, 2006 Share Posted December 25, 2006 Yea i noticed spikes not killing henry on the sideline and getting stiffarmed badly and also missing that tackle when he had him wrapped up but i still think that he can get himself back with another offseason of rehab and hard work. We all know he will work his ass off to get back. I'm hoping and holding on to the belief that he can. I miss the old TKO! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Orton's Arm Posted December 25, 2006 Share Posted December 25, 2006 Spikes probably will never be the same player he once was. That said, the Bills have plenty of salary cap space going into next year. There's no particular reason to mess with his contract right now. If he hasn't returned to form by the end of next season, then they should think about upgrading his position. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
