No distance left to run

Posted by Devang Desai under Buffalo Bills, Homerism on Nov 25, 2012

It appears we’ve come to the end.

The sight of Chan Gailey and Ryan Fitzpatrick makes me ill. I miss Brian Moorman. Where’s C.J? Stevie Johnson deserves better. The defense showed up. Our head coach is terrible.

I feel like I’ve written those things before. The thing about supporting this team, this bunch of hard-working, blue collar guys (Rich Gannon is a fucking horrible announcer), is expectations. I lied to myself again, for the millionth time. They’ll beat a shoddy Indianapolis team. They’ll come home and destroy Chad Henne and the Jacksonville Jaguars. I looked in the face of reality and paid no mind. For that I can only blame myself. Read the rest of this entry »

So what exactly do we make of the Bills’ run defense now?

Posted by Sean Tomlinson under Buffalo Bills, Ponderings on Nov 16, 2012

For fantasy purposes, the Bills’ run defense has been a pungent running back potpourri, as it’s capable of taking the most vile smelling beasts and turning them into clean cut, upstanding individuals who contribute to our fantasy society.

The formula was simple, as if you answered yes to the two questions below, fun times would follow:

1. Do you have a running back on your fantasy team?

2. Is he playing the Buffalo Bills?

And it still is simple, just not as simple. Which makes it hard, but not very hard.

Confusing, yes. Allow me to explain.

I hate you Dan Marino

Posted by Devang Desai under Buffalo Bills, C.J. Spiller, Homerism on Nov 16, 2012

The lovely folks at Score Digital let me watch games on the weekends. Not even that, they pay me for it. For that I’m permanently indebted. This will never happen again. I assume Sal Paolantonio doesn’t give a fuck about said perks as he butters his bagels at Lincoln Financial Field.

With that said, I miss watching Bills games at bars. I miss watching games with a bunch of overgrown children who haven’t realized Dan Marino is an assclown. Straight up, Marino is Bashar Hafez al-Assad. Now that you’ve Googled said name and filed several justified complaints — I reached too far– let’s get to to the game.

Madden 13: When completions are an accident

Posted by Sean Tomlinson under Buffalo Bills, Miami Dolphins, Virtual fantasy on Nov 15, 2012

Pictured: The entire Bills offense

Tonight’s game between the Dolphins and Bills contains at least a modicum of meaning in reality, and great weight in our fantasy alter existence where Christmas gifts are purchased by taking money from friends. Holiday cheer indeed.

We’re especially hoping for two things to happen tonight: Reggie Bush should have a fun Thursday jog against a run defense that couldn’t stop a Pez dispenser with legs, and even though his matchup is much tougher, C.J. Spiller should thrive when he’s given far more opportunities with Fred Jackson out.

So we took the Madden 13 predictor machine for a spin, as is our usual Thursday custom. What happened next was both boring and predictable, all at the same time. Really, it was the worst kind of suck.

NFL betting preview: Dolphins @ Bills

Posted by Rob Pizzola under Buffalo Bills, Miami Dolphins, Money making on Nov 15, 2012

Consensus line: Bills -2.5 (-115), total 45
Current betting percentage: 68% on the Bills, 51% on the OVER

Individual Team Trends:

  • Dolphins are 8-2 ATS in their last 10 games following a S.U. loss.
  • Dolphins are 19-7-1 ATS in their last 27 road games.
  • Dolphins are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games following a double-digit loss at home.
  • Bills are 2-5 ATS in their last 7 home games.
  • Bills are 0-4 ATS in their last 4 home games vs. a team with a losing road record.
  • Under is 25-9 in Dolphins last 34 road games.
  • Under is 5-0 in Dolphins last 5 games overall.
  • Over is 5-0 in Bills last 5 home games.
  • Under is 10-4-1 in Bills last 15 home games vs. a team with a losing road record.

Head-to-Head Trends:

  • Dolphins are 6-2 ATS in their last 8 meetings.
  • Favorite is 7-3-1 ATS in their last 11 meetings.

After the special treats that the NFL had in store on the past two Thursday nights, I gotta say, I’m kind of looking forward to this one…kind of. The AFC East is still very much still up for grabs if Tom Brady gets hit by a snowplow in Massachusetts this winter, so this tilt could possibly have some meaning. Both teams enter tonight’s game riding losing streaks with Miami dropping back-to-back games, and Buffalo having lost three straight and five of their last six.

Fred Jackson ruled out this week with concussion

Posted by Darren Kritzer under Buffalo Bills, C.J. Spiller, Fred Jackson, Injuries on Nov 12, 2012

The Buffalo Bills will be without Fred Jackson for their Week 11 divisional tilt against the Miami Dolphins after the running back suffered a concussion Sunday.

On the season, Jackson has rushed for 298 yards on 75 carries with three touchdowns.

After only receiving 12.7 touches per game, C.J. Spiller will assume the role of starter and instantly becomes a top five fantasy RB, even against a Dolphins defense that allows only 94.2 yards per game. Before the Titans’ Chris Johnson ran for 126 yards Sunday, the Dolphins defense hadn’t allowed a 100-yard rusher in 22 straight games.

Chain Links: C.J. Spiller played in less than half of the Bills’ offensive snaps yesterday

Posted by Sean Tomlinson under Buffalo Bills, C.J. Spiller, Links on Nov 12, 2012

I’ll keep this brief-ish, because I’ve invited the C.J. Spiller rant into my pores on a near weekly basis. I’m not sure that I can sustain the punishment much longer. If you don’t hear from me again for a while after this post, tell my family I love them.

Yesterday during the Bills’ loss to the Patriots that was far closer than many anticipated — which caused at least one 100 Yards and Running contributor to vandalize parts of an office — the best player on Buffalo’s offense once again received fewer carries and fewer touches overall than his counterpart at his position. The player I’m referring to is, of course, Spiller, and the mooch who continues to steal the workload that should be his is Fred Jackson.
