    Give Spiller the Ball More.

    I love that Jackson has been lighting it up and I don't necessarily want to break his momentum by taking away carries. But Spiller has flashed some real good things in his 15 carries. Including a 7.1 yards per attempt and some hard fought third down conversions.

    He seems to be more comfortable running in the NFL and behind a line that has performed well, I think giving Spiller some carries would be a good idea.

    I am all for Jackson as the lead back. But here we have this explosive talent that seems to be getting better, and we simply don't use him.

    It's not a case of the kid not performing so he stops getting chances. It's a case of him not getting chances.

    Once again, I am in huge favor of Jackson getting a TON of carries. But Spiller needs to get more work.

      I am playing Spiller in fantasy this week as a flex. Partly because I have next to no one else to play, but also because I agree with you here. I don't think freddie will see any less touches than normal, I simply think that we are going to ram the ball down the giants throat running! Spiller is due for a big play!

        I like the idea of Spiller split wide and that spread offense or in redirect running plays. But Jackson is far better for short yardage runs and pass blocking. Its hard to implement a new factor when in doing so you have to cease what's currently working.

        In other words, IMO, if its not broke, don't fix it. Keep giving Jackson the rock.

          I'm beginning to wonder how likely it may get that Spiller ends up getting traded? With the way Fred Jackson is running the ball, it's hard to imagine that Spiller ( A former first round draft pick) will want to stick around once his contract runs out. As most players often point out, it is a business after all. JMO

            I don't think he's going anywhere. Jackson might be "the man" currently but he'll be 31 in February and hitting the down slide of his career. This is a two back league and Spiller is in a prime position to take RB 1 if Jackson starts to lose a step or falls to injury.

                I'd play Spiller more if he didn't suck and Jackson was playing bad.

                    play him more once we're leading by 21 pts.

                      Except Spiller hasn't sucked this year. Albeit, it's a small sample of touches.

                        Re: Give Spiller the Ball More.

                        bills are essentially giving Spiller more time to learn and less wear and tear for when freddie fizzles at somepoint.

                        spiller won't be traded. the bills don't really have another guy ready to go other than spiller. White seems a little too green to thrust into a major role.

                          Change the Give term to Get...as in slot WR or swing passes.

                          Spiller in open space is a good thing but Fred Jackson should never leave the field unless he's exhausted after a big gain.

                            With as creative as Gailey is supposed to be, I really have a problem with the fact that C.J. has only touched the ball 21 times through five games. I get it that Freddy's playing well, but if the Bills thought enough of Spiller to draft him high in the first round, then you need to find a way to get him involved. Freddy won't be able to carry this offense by himself for an entire season, so the sooner you get C.J. going, the better. This week would be a great time to get him headed in the right direction in light of all the injuries to the WR's.

                              No!... unless it's in the slot.
