Injured players hurt their team - Democrat and Chronicle

Sal Maiorana wishes C.J. Spiller and Stephon Gilmore would shut it down until they are healthy. I doubt practice squad running back Ronnie Wingo and Justin Rogers would be an improvement. It's not like Spiller has been bad on his plays. He's just severely limited. In the previous two games, Spiller was averaging 6.3 yards per carry on nine rushes against the Browns and Bengals. Let's not reminisce about the brilliance of Rogers, shall we?

Inside The Bills | Why Marrone called timeout after Miami KR
"I called a time out to make sure, because you’re out of challenges, and there was a question I had that I wanted to make sure they were going to go to the replay booth and look at it," said Marrone. "I had the time out, so I figured I would go ahead and use it. At that point, I knew I had two in my pocket, I’d rather make sure I used the timeout, talked to the officials, ‘Hey are we going to look in the replay booth to look at what just happened?’ That’s what I did to see if he was down by a knee, or if his hand went down."
