how about that spiller?
for those who aren't watching - second touch 31 yard TD... impressive

Colts Vs Bills (1 Viewer)

Spiller made a nice move once he broke through the line and was helped by some shoddy Colts tackling. Nice run.

Sick run from Spiller....a few broken tackles and nice speed once he hit the 2nd level.
Colts march right back and Addai with a nice run of his own.

I definitely want Spiller on my team but with runs like that his draft position is going to continue to climb.

especially with lynch and jackson out atm... side note: i'm interested to see what bell does tonight as well.

just like McFadden was drafted #4 for a reason?

I'm not much of a fantasy player, but I'd be terrified to take Spiller this year. He's in such a ####ty situation. I'm sure he'll have his big games but I think he'll be too hit or miss to make an impact except in deep deep leagues.

fresh... he had a 26 yard reception and 17 yard td run on the scoring drive for colts.

Nice TD run but has been alternating 1st-team snaps with Donald Brown.
Steve Tasker
Footballguy
Whitner picking up right where he left off - 2 missed tackles so far.

Footballguy
valid point. i think he's worth a later look, if he's still around, especially in PPR... i think the bills will find ways to get him involved. though touches could be limited given the situation

Terrence McGee with a deflected pick-six...
I was afraid of that.

I really don't know much about fantasy football, I'm just a pessimistic Bills fan. I'm a big Spiller fan (although I think there were better choices at that draft spot) and I think he has a ton of talent....but the Bills' offensive line is woeful, and he's gotta split touches with Jackson and Lynch. If their injuries prove to be worse than expected, Spiller could get a shot as a full #1 RB, but I can't see it NOT being a RBBC. Everyone loves Fred Jackson here, and Lynch, although he's out of favor, is still a good player.To be honest, it wouldn't surprise me if the Bills won 3 games this year. That's just not a good situation for a RB.

Brown has been in almost exclusively since that Addai TD. They just had him spread out at WR on that play. Addai may have been in the game, but I haven't seen him get a touch in awhile.

Edwards hits a wiiiiiide-open Lee Evans in-stride for a long TD.

Great TD run from Spiller, but since then he's rushed 5 times for 2 yards. The O-line is just terrible. Barry Sanders in his prime would have had trouble behind this line.
Steve Tasker
Footballguy
Yep...on a few of those plays, there were Colts in the backfield by the time he got the ball.
GroveDiesel
Footballguy
Wow, Edwards actually threw a deep ball! Of course, Evans was running so wide open it was ridiculous. Will Edwards be willing to throw deep when Evans only has a step?
Steve Tasker

Colts 2nd-string offense in the game now.

And Florence is still getting beaten. The secondary was supposed to be a strength
Hopefully Jairus Byrd is just THAT GOOD.

Florence has 3 holding penalties already in this game...And Florence is still getting beaten. The secondary was supposed to be a strength

A good game from Spiller probably pushes him to the point where I think he'll be overrated.
Lee Evans is someone I'm targeting later in a lot of drafts...but I don't think one big TD will be enough to change years of opinions of him and the Bills. Hopefully I can still grab him as a late round steal.

As a Bills fan I am giddy right now. Absolutely giddy...Tell me that little jab step and explosion he has doesn't remind anyone else of Marshall Faulk? I'm not saying you can compare the two at all at this point, but that was the first thought that flashed in my mind...I'm going to enjoy watching this kid for years to come.

Brian Brohm checking in...should get extended time today to gauge whether or not he can be the starter....and he's sacked on his first play.
Spillers burst and ability to get to full speed so quickly is very chris johnsonesque.
RenegadeGM
Footballguy
All this Spiller love is telling me I'd better DVR the game when it comes on NFL Network.
Steve Tasker
Footballguy
Meh....one very, very nice TD run, a couple of nice bursts, and a number of plays blown up in the backfield. He looks good, but he looks hamstrung by the offense at times.
GroveDiesel
Footballguy
Fantastic throw by Brohm and GREAT catch by Chad Jackson. I really think Jackson ends up being the #3 WR.
Steve Tasker
Footballguy
Behind who? Steve Johnson? (serious question)I've heard great things about Easley, but I haven't seen him out there tonight, if he's dressed. I haven't seen Hardy either.I'm extremely biased, but I'd love to see Naaman Roosevelt make the roster.
Grigs Allmoon
Footballguy
They are both hurt, and might not be back real soon.
BINGBING
Footballguy
Easley has a leg injury...not gonna be playing any time soon.
Steve Tasker
Footballguy
Hmm, I knew they were nicked up, but I was unaware of the severity....I just came back from being out of the country without internet access for 10 days, so forgive me...
Steve Tasker
Footballguy
Completely missed that Easley was likely going to have surgery. 
GroveDiesel
Footballguy
Yeah, Easley and Hardy are both hurt. I think Hardy ends up getting cut. Jackson will be the #3 behind Johnson. Parrish will either be the #4 or get cut. If he can get healthy and play some more in the preseason, David Nelson could make the roster. I think Roosevelt is probably Practice Squad material. Easley is hurt, but obviously he'll make the team.

Chad Jackson does look pretty good.
Steve Tasker
Footballguy
It's entirely possible. Depending on how severe the injury, David Nelson has an outside shot of making the roster too. They were saying on the radio today that he might be back for the next preseason game.

Footballguy
Naaman Roosevelt making plays....
Kool-Aid Larry

I don't want to take anything away from what he did, but didn't everybody in the league run on the colts?I could probably break off a 30 yard run against them.

How is Joique Bell looking tonight ? Not too many carries, but the stats look impressive.
GroveDiesel
Footballguy
The kid is really quick with some decent moves. Doesn't hesitate much at all either. I'll be upset if he doesn't make the team. Maybe it's the "grass is always greener" attitude, but I'd rather he be on the regular season roster than Marshawn Lynch.
