Bills defense looks to rebound after consecutive losses

‘“We just haven’t found that niche yet of what’s going to work for us,” Bills cornerback Tre’Davious White said. “Is it going to be us holding teams to lower points, is it going to be us holding them to lower yards, or is it going to be us taking the ball away? We’ve got to find which defense is going to be us.”’

Bills cut former starting guard Quinton Spain seven months after giving him $15M extension

‘Still, the veteran’s departure marks a sharp turn of events for the interior lineman. Originally undrafted out of West Virginia in 2015, Spain spent the first five years of his NFL career with the Tennessee Titans, carving out a job as a full-time left guard, then had arguably his best season to date with the Bills in 2019. Signed to a one-year contract, he took every offensive snap and did not allow a single registered sack while helping keep Josh Allen upright, earning the $15 million extension in March.’

‘Right guard John Feliciano, however, is eligible to be activated from the Injured Reserve list. Feliciano injured his pectoral muscle prior to training camp and has been on I.R. the entire season. He began practicing on October 7, which means the team has until October 27 to activate him to the 53-man roster. It’s possible they could do that prior to Sunday’s game at the New York Jets.’

Bills ready to “put their heads down” and get back to work offensively

‘“I’m always confident in the players and coaches that we have. You have to go out there and coach well and play well each week in this league,” Bills Offensive Coordinator Brian Daboll said. “We’re not going to ride a rollercoaster, that’s not what we’re going to do. We’re going to put our head down and work, we’re going to have a good week of practice for a team that’s hungry for a good week.”‘

‘“That’s where you come back to earning the right to win. Every week you’ve got to earn the right to win in this league and it also comes back to the start of every week which is ‘hey we’re gonna start with a healthy respect for every opponent.’ Not too much but certainly not too little so they’ve got a good roster over there, good players and we respect them at a high level,” McDermott said.’

‘“Matt is an excellent player first and foremost, he’s an excellent player when he’s on the field you have total confidence that he can cover those slot receivers, cover the back out of the backfield and go in and make tackles and make big-time plays so anytime you’re missing a guy like that with that type of talent it’s a huge blow for your team,” Bills cornerback Tre’Davious White said.’

Bills are not panicking over back-to-back losses

‘“It’s the NFL. Anybody can get anybody on any given day if you don’t show up and ball,” Bills wide receiver Cole Beasley said. “It’s more about us. We lost the last two games because of things we did. It wasn’t because anything they were doing to us. Just comes down to us getting better with our execution, and once we can do that, we are hard to stop.”’

You may not respect the Jets, but the Bills do

‘“Don’t do that to the Jets. Let’s have more respect in that regard,” said McDermott. “Let’s take that winners mentality. The winner’s mentality is we take every game the same way with the same attitude, same toughness, same respect for every opponent. That’s the way this business is and that’s the way we do it here with the Buffalo Bills.”’

Bills release former starting offensive guard Quinton Spain

‘Spain played in the team’s week 4 game against the Raiders after Winters left with an injury. He was a surprise inactive in week 5 against the Titans after telling the team he had foot soreness pregame. Before last week’s game against the Chiefs, he was a full participant in practice on Thursday, was limited on Friday, and did not practice on Saturday. He did not play.’
