Re: Crowell out for the year
well that sucks. Ellison looked OK filling in for Spikes early this year, but he was out of position several times yesterday (including LT's big TD run).
And if we get one more injury, that means Jon DiGiorgio could be a starting LB. Damn.

Re: Crowell out for the year
yep
and so what. crowell will be back next year and now we get some extended reps for the backups. that will make the team stronger overall for next year
sure i will want them to win games but frankly i dont care much if they dont. record is meaningless when you dont make the playoffs so better draft positions isnt all bad
theres absolutely enough talent here that their net adds in personnel could build a team with realistic playoff chances next season. thats true of most teams in the nfl but the bills are farther along that path now than they were going in to the season thats for sure
they need to focus on continuing to mature within the system and have their key young players be ready for larger roles and more winning plays
this is about what i expected out of the team so its disappointing we didnt get lucky but there should be plenty of promise heading into the offseason. im sure marv will pull a couple more rabbits out of the hat and move the team forwardOne set of rules for all in the beloved community

Re: Crowell out for the year
Buffalo does have options to fill the void. The past three weeks Coy Wire has been practicing at the open side position when Keith Ellison was nursing a painful bone bruise on his knee. Last Sunday Wire replaced Crowell in the lineup and performed admirably according to Jauron.
"Moving him back to linebacker when Keith was out proves to benefit us in the long term," said Jauron. "He's taken to it right away. It was a position he played in college. He's a very bright and disciplined guy. He played pretty well yesterday. He played a good game."
Jauron would not go so far to say that Wire will be the full time replacement for Crowell.
"We'll look at it as the week goes on," he said. "We really like what Keith (Ellison) has done, and we'll just work them both and see what happens."Originally posted by mysticsotoLecter is right in everything he said.

Re: Crowell out for the year
I was wondering what Wire was doing in there for most of the game. I didn't realize he was playing LB. I only saw him make one tackle. The rest of the time, it just looked like he was just jumping on the pile.Let's Go Bills ... B B B B B B Bills!
