Don't get giddy over Spiller - BUF marketing dream-come-true

[stuckincincy]

He had a couple of nice pops. Against a club with a decent lead, playing defense like a club with a decent lead. In his 3rd year, after being the 9th pick in 2010, he garners 169 yards in a debacle.

Wait for the hype from OBD - BUF is a great running team. Ignore that QB and those WRs behind that curtain. Please forget that the rules make the NFL a passing game. Pay no attention to our pass game problems. Buy those tickets.

Preventative medicine.

I don't want folks to fall into that "yeah but we run well" trap. That's akin to teams that crow about things like "we were near tops in pass defense"! as they were run ragged. Next season, the club crows "we look to the future because were tops in run defense!" I.E., why run against these saps? - we can pass them silly.

You know I live in the CIN area - 22 years now. I've lived the baseline. It's shuddering to realize that the BUF and CIN franchises are pretty much in lockstep.

If you can't see that what Spiller did at the end of last year and again yesterday is not hype then you are blind.

Too bad he's in the wrong system. Gailey goes to Fitz and the pass like he's coaching the Steve Young-led Niners.

Bengals have made the playoffs a few times in the last decade, they're no longer in lock step, clearly ahead of the game.

As for Spiller, he played well down the stretch last season, more of a trend than an outlier. IF Revis doesn't make the shoestring tackle he probably goes for over 200. That's one thing I noticed last year. Spiller was always a missed tackle away from really breaking the long one, yesterday he broke two.

I'm looking forward to watching him. Seems like a nice guy, never once pouted, says the right thing, hard not to like the guy. You could feel him pressing early in his career, wanted to show what he had immediately, but sometimes slow and steady wins the race.

So I just want to get this straight.

When Buddy picks ****ty players, it's because he's stupid, and when he picks good players, it's to sell you on some hype.

Alright then.

No - you are blind to the business. And the NFL is show business first - make no mistake.

The run game is visceral. The NFL knows it, we know it. A catch for 2 yards followed by a 50 yard YAC is just not the same as a hand-off with the same result

There is no shortage of teams - owners - that pick them to spice up attendance through the years. BUF is a good example...Drafts McGahee (chased out of town but still doing well) with a serviceable Travis Henry in the fold. Drafts Lynch with a serviceable McGahee. Drafts Spiller with a serviceable Lynch. All in the face of an ever-increasing pass-friendly league.

Wow dude you have ISSUES. Matter of fact your Issues have Problems. He was the one bright spot at end of year last year and yesterday. Spiller has been looking damn good.

you are both wrong and right. spillers 1st td run was when the jets still cared. yes the jets became uninterested, but you don't just get 169 yards by default. plus spiller became legit at the end of last season and proved it again on sunday.

Spillers patience is about a million times better than when he was a rookie. I expect to see big things out of him if he can stay healthy and hold on to the rock.
